In order to leave a lasting impression within a brief duration, I employed alternating octave repetitions with both hands on the piano. This technique aimed to depict raindrops and ideally evoke the image of a bright summer rain. The middle section features a driving motif with a left-hand ostinato and right-hand triads, composed to encourage and motivate myself. The part marked "as fast as possible" incorporates a jazz idiom, inserted to serve as an accent within the piece.

Will silence reign in death? In the agony of death, I might feel as if I can hear music coming from far away. I will never know for sure until I die, but that is what I thought as I wrote. The mixture of various styles is intentional. Shotaro Ishinomori once wrote in his "Introduction to Manga Artists" that it would be fine if all the different styles could coexist in a single manga, even if they were drawn in different styles. I was writing with this in mind. This piece was premiered by Yoshu Kamei (vn.), Ayako Kamei (vn.), Kei Sakoda (va.) and Kei Yamazawa (vc.) in the 12th JFC Composition Competition at MUSA KAWASAKI, Kawasaki, Japan, on March 28, 2024 and selected as a runner-up.
