Reimagining Sarumaru Dayu's 5th Poem as a visceral, soul-stirring hard ballad.
Driven by heavy piano, sweeping strings, resonant drums, and a deeply impassioned male vocal, this track pushes the melancholy of autumn to its absolute zenith. It is a highly literary, dramatic piece; as the melody unfolds, your chest will tighten, allowing the imagery of scattered crimson leaves and the stag's lonely cry to bleed directly into your soul.

"The Hyakunin Isshu Project: Poem No. 5.
The heart-wrenching autumn sorrow Sarumaru Dayu felt deep within the secluded mountains.
That moment of profound grief-treading through fallen maple leaves to hear the stag's cry-is resurrected for the modern era as a rich, penetrating hard ballad.
With every listen, your heart is dyed in its colors, and the autumn grows ever deeper-Aki wa Kanashiki (How Sad the Autumn Is).
Presented by Twilight Master, this track captures the Japanese autumn at its most breathtakingly beautiful and agonizingly sad."

Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my world!
