A Quiet Garden
Hello everyone, Very happy to share this new release with Hiroko Komiya on this winter solstice. Enjoy.
A Quiet Garden -静かな庭- 日本語下記
One Winter Morning
Light shines through the gaps in the trees
The sound of the wind
Echo Heard
Audible swells
Standing still and remembering
Various Scenery, Various Moments
In this quiet garden
In this quiet garden
ある冬の朝
樹々の隙間から光がさし
聴こえてくる風の音
聴こえてくるエコー
聴こえてくるうねり
立ちつくして想い出す
様々な景色 様々な瞬間
この静かな庭で この静かな庭で
