＊ My fourth Album♪
If you feel like going to a forest, ...
　〜 when your heart feels a little heavy 〜

I love to visit a forest; I feel very refreshed and feel my fatigue and stress dispelled.
In my busy everyday life, it’s very hard to find time for a visit to a forest.
On such an occasion, I composed this album; I played my imaginary visit to a forest on my piano, together with the sounds of nature.
I’m very happy you could enjoy listening to this album, when your heart feels a little heavy, or as a background music.
With a feeling of gratitude. ♪

My thoughts for each track.

1. The forest fragrances
I went into a forest. It was refreshingly cool and fragrant.☆
I felt very refreshed and took a deep breath♪. It is said that
there are volatile substances called phytoncides, which are
antimicrobial volatile organic compounds derived from trees,
and they can make people revive.
I put the image of fragrances into this tune.

2. The sounds of a stream in the forest
When I went into the forest, I went down to the valley,
following the pleasant sounds of a stream.
There was another world down there☆
Listening to soothing and refreshing sounds of a stream,
I forgot all the cares and worries of workaday life
and for a little while I felt being at one with Nature.

3. Tears with the rain
When you feel sad, it is said that you shouldn't hold back
on the emotion but you let go, let the tears flow,
feel it completely. In the forest, I let the tears flow with the rain.
I felt so much better then, refreshed and clear☆
The rain stopped and I could hear birds singing again.

4. The sparkling morning
In the morning, I was walking in the forest,
bathing in the sunlight shining through the trees.
My childhood memories came back to me and I got all excited.

5. The spring in the forest
There was the spring in the forest. The water was crystal clear and cold...
A nut fell from a tree and made ripples on the surface of the spring.
It was completely quiet and it seemed to me that fairies are living.

6. The straight path
I was walking along the straight path and saw a bird fly off
up into the blue sky. I wondered where did the bird go?

7. The owls in the forest.
I have a friend who is a collector of owl items. She says,
"Owls are said to bring good luck." I became interested in owls and
wanted to know about them; owls are nocturnal birds of prey etc...
(Wikipedia). I imagined all the living creatures where owls live
and was attracted to such a forest.

8. Sitting around a camp fire
It is very relaxing to watch a camp fire. Just hearing the crackling of it,
you feel yourself soothingly warm in mind and body.
Thus at the end of a day, you peacefully fall to a deep sleep.
I expressed such an image in this tune.
