It depicts gratitude toward festivals and the strength of people who face the harshness of nature.
Featuring distinctive calls reminiscent of the traditional Hokkaido fishermen’s song “Soran Bushi,” it has a powerful resonance that touches listeners’ hearts.
Released in November 2015, it was also used as a tie-in for NHK Your Song, commemorating the 80th anniversary of NHK radio broadcasting.

Poem of the Sky and SeaTenmon
This piece is marked by the gentle tones of piano and strings and an expansive development that gradually unfolds.
It plays during the scene in “Cosmonaut” where the protagonist, Kanae, strengthens her resolve and faces the waves, conveying a moving atmosphere.
While “5 Centimeters per Second” often evokes a strong image of winter, “Cosmonaut” depicts the late summer, and the music also conveys a grand, expansive feeling—like the wide blue summer sky and the vast ocean.
The way the piece builds in intensity is captivating, expressing how a wavering heart is gradually cleared away, and how rising emotions and firm determination are conveyed by the majestic, powerful mood of the latter half.

With its clear, translucent melody, it’s perfect for a pleasant morning or a bright, sunny day.
Listening to this warm spring song will help you savor the joy of having met someone special.

This song was released as a character song from the anime “School-Live!”—a series that became a topic of conversation for its contrast between cute characters and a bleak, gritty world setting.
The lyrics look back on school life one memory at a time and savor the bonds with friends, just like the title suggests, as if flipping through a graduation album.
It has the classic feel of a graduation song and is easy to relate to.
