To Hiraizumi, with Reaching Thoughts

In the northern land of Japan, the Ōshū Fujiwara clan built a glorious capital that rivaled Kyoto itself.
Yet their fate was sealed when they sheltered Minamoto no Yoshitsune, leading to conflict with the Kamakura shogunate and, ultimately, their fall in flames.

Standing upon the grounds of Hiraizumi today, one can almost hear the neighing of warhorses, the clash of armor, and the echoes of a vanished age.
Its grandeur and sorrow, its rise and inevitable fall in only three generations, form a drama that continues to stir the imagination.

This instrumental rock ballad gives voice to that history - the splendor and tragedy of the Fujiwara - through the weeping tones of the guitar.
Every note resonates like the lingering memory of a city lost to fire, calling the listener into the eternal romance of Hiraizumi.
