Beautiful Japanese traditional candles
Recently Japanese traditional swinging big flame candles are becoming very popular. In Shimabara city, Nagasaki Prefecture, Mr Toshikazu Honda works very hard to preserve the traditional production of those candles using just nature wax. Chemical materials are not used to produce those craft, so they are friendly with people and the environment. Actually, Mr. Honda keeps the same process as in Edo Period. Hazeno-michi Museum is a place where you can make your own original candles and paint them. Even foreign tourist can enjoy this traditional technique typical from Japan.

[SoC90] 清水靖晃 - Shadow of China Opening Theme (女狐達の挽歌)
To those who have a good understanding of the situation this one here needs little to no explanation.
But yes, bad gal virulence is out there -- and being spread in different ways, in various iterations. This imminent threat won't be eradicated for as long as human kind exists...
In the end, the innocent bystanders will be responsible to update their knowledge and avoid those threats accordingly......
Unfortunately for those who have been affected (or infected), sorry, you're pretty much done for.
Even your direct descendants will have to live with the guilt for the rest of their lives......

Shimizu-san, if you see this, ask yourself: why didn't you consider having your rest of the back catalogue remastered and re-released?
This one here, in particular, is one of the more important works back then, and perhaps one of your best. Consider having this properly remastered and reissued in SHM-CD/UHQCD......

=================
Palinody is a now rare word, derived from the Middle French word, palinodie. The Oxford English Dictionary defines palinody as: An ode or song in which the author retracts a view or sentiment expressed in a former poem. Here, the former composition refers to my 2008 piece entitled Wound Sky (i.e., past participle of the verb to wind), which was a work that I wrote just before coming to New York to start my residency at Columbia.
Whenever we hear sounds, we are changed. We are no longer the same after hearing certain sounds, was the maxim that German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen once declared. As my life seems to have changed in these past two years, what I thought I aptly expressed two years ago no longer appeared valid to me. I found it necessary and inevitable, therefore, to destroy the work entirely. I took little of what was salvageable from my Wound Sky, disintegrated it into pieces, and I wrote a new piece over them. In this way, the original context of Wound Sky is lost. In this piece, the destruction of Wound Sky is not represented by the absence of the work, but rather by a collection of subconscious memories whose origins are obscure. However, in this present piece Palinody, the spectators ultimately assimilate those nomadic memories in their own terms.
With the apparition of Palinody, the work Wound Sky is hereby withdrawn from my catalogue of works.
Written in the autumn of 2010 for the musicians of the Wet Ink Ensemble, this piece is dedicated to them.
