Tanabe-Recollections of the Inland Sea (2S)-M/FL

"A beautiful inland sea called Setonaikai lies in the middle of Japan. In My Teens, I lives in a port town facing the inland. The title Recollection of the Inland Sea comes from the scenic impression that i had when i visited there as a grown-up. Needless to say, nobody can express in simple words the memories of one's sensitive young days. In th music, I tried to express my interior vision of the ea, spreading out before me, which reminds me of the days of my boyhood"
