Awai by Shingo Mimura - ミムラシンゴ

■ About the EP:
In Japanese, "Awai" has two different meanings.
One means a space between two things, while the other means pale in color.
This piano solo piece, composed in the post-classical style, uses a simple technique to depict a melody that is beautifully constructed with the help of spacing, pale emotions, and tone.
