== Song Production Information == | |||
=== Seiryu === | |||
I love the moon. | |||
Once when I was travelling to Europe, when we were flying over Siberia, the only thing floating up in an empty, and I mean truly empty, sky was a perfectly round moon.<br> | |||
It looked just like a shimmering, perfectly round pearl.<br> | |||
The nature of the air high in the atmosphere lent to the effect, and it traced out an arc in extremely high resolution.<br> | |||
As I was watching this gem of the heavens and bathed in its almost mystical light, I fell into the impression that all of my everyday cares were being healed. | |||
This image is burned deep into my retinas. | |||
This wonderful voyage occurred four months after I finished this song.<br> | |||
What!? Yes, that's right. Four months after. Almost exactly.<br> | |||
The passage before was just making up an image. Sorry. I'll reflect on what I've done.<br> | |||
As I made this song, I was thinking lots of exuberant thoughts like "Oh~, the moon. It's awesome~! So fabulous!" | |||
Yes. That's right! It was four months after. I just grew a little bit, is all.<br> | |||
Don't make me say it over and over again. | |||
Well, thank you so very much for having a look again today. This has been Seiryuu, and now everything is exposed. | |||
For some reason, T called this song "wowow".<br> | |||
Maybe it doesn't abbreviate very well, I just don't get it, it's just one thing after another ... | |||
And so, with everything exposed, this is Sei ... huh? Hey, I told you, it was four months later!<br> | |||
Four months later, and not a centimeter more! Get serious, I'm gonna get mad! | |||
