Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Hymn to LifeMuramatsu Takatsugu

Hymn to Life – Takatsugu Muramatsu | Official Piano Version

The original piece—whose majestic orchestral sonorities and crystal-clear boy-choir harmonies stir the soul—has been self-covered on piano by the composer himself.

Created by Takatsugu Muramatsu, a composer renowned for numerous film scores, it’s a truly grand number worthy of being called a “hymn to life.” Produced as the main theme for Mitsubishi Mirai-kan’s “JOURNEY TO LIFE” at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, it reportedly brought together over 100 performers.

The beautiful melodies born from the collaboration with the UK boy-soprano unit LIBERA are so captivating that even rendered on solo piano, they’ll make you pause your work to listen.

Why not give it a try when you’re a little tired from studying or working, and want to quietly restore vitality to your heart?
