"When i started to compose this piece after the hearthquake and the tsunami, my head was filled of pictures from the disaster : field of ruins and desolation. It was supposed to be the beginning of the spring when sakuras are so beautiful in japan, but, winter was still going on. Instead of the white rain of petal of sakura, it started to snow ; the trees seemed to be crying."
