The Mountain Day Song

Actually, this song was inspired by the news of a high-profile athlete's arrest for drug offenses. While drug abuse is unquestionably unacceptable, the 'vulnerable heart' hidden within all of us exists in everyone-even those hailed as historical heroes-simply because they are human.

While someone can step in as a substitute for a game, no one can substitute for you in your own life. 'When rain clouds overshadow a life with no replacement,' the harshness and blessings of nature prepared for us on this Earth may sometimes speak to a person's conscience more deeply than any words ever could.

'I hear the song of Mountain Day, the mountain speaks to my heart.'
'Even if you fall, look up as you rise to find a rainbow-filled sky.'

Another highlight is the grand arrangement by Tomohiko Suzuki, woven with a homage to the masterpiece The Sound of Music, which vividly brings mountain landscapes to mind.
