Song title "TABIDATSU KIMIHE"

implication: To You Who Departs

At the end of March 2008, a colleague of mine, with whom I had shared many hardships and joys, retired from the same office. At the farewell party I organized, I wrote
this song representing the feelings of the many friends who gathered to bid him farewell and to see him off on his journey to a new industry. The song was sung by the
group of friends who had gathered to see him off at a farewell party.

The song was presented to him
at a farewell party,
In Japan, the end of March, the season of spring when the cherry blossoms bloom,
is the season of farewells.

It is an inevitable and sad event in your life to say goodbye to your precious and
irreplaceable loved ones.
Please listen to this song and face your
sadness as sadness.
Face it head on.
Take time to gradually ease your mind and heal slowly.
