Is the past me? Is the future me?
When I hear the soul, I rewrite it.
Only what I want to see, space is a journey.
A trilogy of songs, originally conceived in early 2000 and arranged by my friend and beloved artist Aliya Miharu and her old brother KENSHU. It has since been performed at Meguru Live and other events, and after a band recording in 2009 and a vocal recording in 2019, it was put on hiatus, but will be released for distribution in June 2023. The Toyama Prefecture folk song "Kokirikobushi" is said to be a kagura song, or a song and dance sung by the Heike clan in nostalgia for their once glamorous pastimes. This work is dedicated to JUN-G, a true friend and family member who passed away at the age of 31.
