Commissioned by Kazuhiko Tsuchiya, the director of bands of Tamagawa Academy and premiered at the Tokyo Junior High School Ensemble Contest in 2011. The piece has an image of the night in the city and the sentimental feelings of a woman living there. Articulations and rhythms are relatively complicated, but attention to such details will produce fresh dynamism, tension, and a unique atmosphere.
