Ekotumi's own alternative world, composed by layering and layering of voices. This song is like a ritual, like being lost in a labyrinth. "Dream which you can see in the backside of your eyelids" is based on her own memories of her childhood, which she recalled after giving birth. It is as if she face something that was missing, as if she is confronting something she left behind when she was a baby. The dream that did not come true, the regrets of her childhood, and the events that did not make sense at the time. This is the first work after the birth of her child. It was used in a city promotion video for Minato city, Tokyo, where Ekotumi was born and raised. You also will listen to the original instruments by Katsutoshi Shirasuna include the Shirasuna style saw blade instrument, Iron nails instrument, Branch wind chime KAZANEGI, as well as the shaman drum and didgeridoo.
