Comment by Ai Onuma
This is a piece by Maestro Masataka Hori that was performed at the first regular concert of the Tokyo Euphonic Mandolin Orchestra.From the setting sail of " Sailor Alba " , I thought, " I want to see the continuation of the voyage!!! " This is a work that was inspired by me and developed as a continuation of the voyage.
Please also take a look at the Aruba departure! I love it. I was also suffering quite a bit when the situation was difficult. It's an encouraging song.
When I was composing the song, Mr. Hori gave me many lectures on the elements of the mandolin, and I researched a lot of them!
There are many Let's Challenge! elements. I tried a lot of special playing techniques on the mandolin! And with the mandolin orchestra, you can try out a large space three-dimensionally, so I was excited because it was so much more profound. I'm doing a solo! And I'm doing a slap solo! It's cool!
In the end, I was aiming for a live performance with an orchestra that would make my body move!♪
