Just as we are about to lose sight of where we are going and what we need to do as we are shrouded in darkness, a ray of light shines through and illuminates the path we should take. We spread our wings and take off. It is not important if this takes place in our imagination or in our physical reality; what matters is the image of moving towards the future.
I composed this piece with the aim of creating such a nebulous musical landscape.

The piece unfolds by creating a variety of different expressions while recapitulating pre-defined motifs. In particular, the motif from "Issho ni," performed at the Christmas pageant, frequently appears in this piece as a symbol of the wonderful relationship and trust that I have enjoyed with Hikarigaoka Girls' High School.

Although the composition of this piece took me two and a half years, I had worked on it gradually as I wanted it to be a milestone in my career as a composer.

I believe that everyone has been gifted a special pair of wings, but whether they can spread these wings and take off depends on their decisions and the path that they take.

A piece jointly commissioned by Hikarigaoka Girls' High School Wind Orchestra and fostermusic Inc.
Premiere: March 17th, 2022, Hikarigaoka Girls' High School Wind Orchestra Special Concert (Salvia Hall, Anjo Shimin Kaikan)
