12月にリリース予定のピアノ曲３曲。
ひと足先にお披露目のようです！？
３曲とも子供のための作品。
「ひまわり」シリーズは戦争について子供たちに考えてもらうきっかけになれば、
という思いから書きました。
"A Sunflower Under a Blue Sky" for Solo Pianoは
コンペ2位受賞作品。
"Little Sunflowers Under the Dark Sky" for Solo Pianoは、
今年5月、New Heavenでピアノコンクール小中学生部門の
課題曲として選ばれ、
Composer Awardsを受賞した作品です。
どちらも優秀な若い素敵な男性に、メキシコとアメリカで
プレミアム演奏していただきました。
"Man-ge-kyou" （万華鏡）for Solo Pianoは、
日本のコンペに応募しましたが没だった作品です
日本のコンペとは相性良くないみたい、、
でも面白いものが書けたと気に入っているので、
録音してもらうことにしました。
日本で、日本的な曲は受けない？！

I can't wait to hear them performed.
All three pieces are works for children.
I wrote the "Sunflower" series with the hope that
it would encourage children to think about war.
"A Sunflower Under a Blue Sky" for Solo Piano
won second place in a competition.
"Little Sunflowers Under the Dark Sky" for Solo Piano
was selected as a required piece for the elementary
and junior high school division of the New Heaven Piano Competition held this May,
and won the Composer Award.
Both pieces have been performed by talented young men
in Mexico and the United States.
"Man-ge-kyou" (Kaleidoscope) for Solo Piano
was submitted to a Japanese competition but was rejected.
It seems like Japanese competitions don't suit me well...
But I like the interesting pieces I've written,
so I decided to have them recorded.
Japanese-style pieces aren't well-received in Japan! ?
