Music: Harumi Tomiki Comment
If there were a "Urashima Tunnel," I would make the same choice as Kaoru Tohno.
When I felt the empathy of "I want to get my beloved back," music naturally rang in my head.
While I was composing, I might as well have been Kaoru Tohno.
I was so absorbed in writing music that the weeks seemed to fly by as if I had entered the Urashima Tunnel. Time passed that fast.
To express the delicate feelings of the characters, I aimed for a delicate orchestration, mainly piano.
Please come and experience the fantastic Urashima Tunnel in all its visual beauty and music.
