The first verse of the Hyakunin Isshu by Emperor Tenji, reborn as an exquisitely refined modern pop song. Centered around the imagery of a solitary shelter in the autumn fields, this beautifully lingering ballad-pop captures the utmost depths of ephemerality, grace, and quiet sorrow. With a distinctive three-stage chorus, the song's architecture ensures that the unfolding scene slowly but surely sinks deep into your heart. Crossing the bounds of a thousand years, the gentle eyes of Emperor Tenji look upon us today. Quietly, yet with absolute certainty, it moistens the heart-just like sleeves touched by the evening dew of autumn. The opening chapter of the Hyakunin Isshu Project, crafted by Twilight Master!
