The quiet days of the protagonist, Ichitaro, and the spirits are never flashy, yet they hold warm bonds. I consciously crafted this theme song to capture the atmosphere and scent within this story. I'd be delighted if it became a song that flows like the stillness of night, breathing in sync with the tale.
