I was carrying a radiation meter and picking weeds for decontamination on a daily basis. The dosimeter was set to sound an alarm above 0.5 microsievert.
One spring day, I went out to pick up weeds in the backyard with my usual anxiety, but the alarm did not go on.A fanfare rang out in my head and a bright melody played in my head from the joy I felt.
But soon, there was also a new concern: where did the radioactive materials go?

The alarm did not sound again that afternoon. When I felt at ease, a warm melody began to sound.
Nevertheless, there was still some concern about where the radioactive materials had gone.

I placed it at the beginning of this movement because the same melody always played when I thought of radioactive materials.
The chestnut tree that was my late father's pride and the plum tree that my late mother cherished were also contaminated. It reminded me of the "Song of the Chestnut Tree" and the "Song of the Plum Tree" that I had once made.
When I was about to give up on the idea of living a normal life, decontamination work was carried out by a professional contractor. The soil in the garden was peeled away and the trees were cut down, leaving nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth.

16 bars in the introduction were came to my mind when I felt uneasy.
In the first theme, I didn’t know what to do, I’m not sure...The second theme was the same time as first one, but I made it in major.However, I added negative melodies later. After that, it went formality.

I was depressed after the accident.Drawing the curtain, tears were rolled down my cheek. At the moment, I remembered the word which my father had told me when I was a child.I got an idea from that conversation for first half of this song.
In that evening, I saw some pictures in the Internet to change my mood. The moment I saw "The Angelus" of Millet, bells and mezzo-piano voice sounded in my head. I recorded them as they are, even though I couldn't understand what language they are.

These are the melodies came after the accident ,but I forgot the situation.
Anxious, positive feelings and anger...so many feelings were mixed in me.Those days, complicated information changed my mind easily.I put some melodies in order.Because so many melodies are in that song ,someone said to me, "Make it sonata. That's much faster."I was singing a theme to cheer me up over and over.So, I put it in this song again and again.

I found some melody notes which I wrote in my early 20s.Using them, I wrote a sonatine as the first theme.
At that time, I wanted to make it 4/4 tempo.However, I couldn’t make it, so I had left it as it is.
Also, some notes which are from my middle 20s, had made into the second theme.

Because of the accident, I sometimes lost my grip.
Just standing still for a while in my room, melodies came in and out.The second theme was made of them.

I went to see a piano concert which my cousin played in Tokyo, and many happy melodies came and went. Because I was relived from worrying about radiation dose rate. The notes were made into this song.

This is a song I didn’t think deeply ,but came out through the conversation with Sakura on Facebook. Sakura is my college friend and we both belonged to Kokugakuin Guitar Ensemble.
