I like to see the movement of meshed gears so much, and I'm impressed by the fact that every gear is important, and if they lose even a gear, they will completely stop.
I think it's similar with the history. every one moment in the past made this present, if someone change just one thing from the history, our life might be totally different.
I was thinking about it when I was writing. I hope you feel something.

この曲は一つの歯車をモチーフに書いています。噛み合って動き続ける歯車を見るのがすごく好きで、一つでも欠けたら動かなくなる、そんな所に惹かれて書いた曲です。
そしてそれは私たちの歴史にも似ていると思います。過去の一つ一つの瞬間が”今”を作っている。そんなことを思いながら書きました。この音楽から何か感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。

Thank you for listening!
