A Message from Naoki Tachikawa
I've been involved in the Kyoto International Film and Arts Festival for two years now, and I felt that something was missing. That something was music. We wanted to create a song that all people could relate to, regardless of age or occupation, so we decided to make it a duet. The inclusion of a chorus of elementary school students made the music even more powerful, making it a song that we all created together. I hope that the power of this song, created by great musicians, will bring even more excitement to the festival.
