Grove,sky and I are all painted over by Rain (雨に　林と空と私が塗りつぶされる) ，The title is from a Japanese poem, “The Rainy Season” (梅雨), by Tanigawa Shuntaro. The rainy season typically occurs from May to June. This specific season is akin to a memory that encompasses scents, objects, and individuals. Regardless of the time and place, a feeling of nostalgia is ever-present. Even the musical notes are as soaked as they are during the rainy season. The subtle influence of electronic effects on each note and sound, along with the adjustment of timbre, resembles the landscape during this season, both on a macroscopic and microscopic scale. To me, it’s as if there is a dampness in the sound of things.
