"Haru Ni Aki 春に秋"

I have a fascination with traditional Japanese music.

Typical melodies and lyrics are so pregnant with loss and longing,

but are presented so poetically that they make you ponder
your own heart's journey. 

蝶の羽に
急に降霜
僕の心

寒い内に
凍る意気
初恋心

Atop a butterfly's wings
Sudden frost
That is my heart

So cold in here
Spirit of ice
The soul of first love
