Among the aesthetics of our country are concepts such as Yugen and Kiratsu. In this work, I aimed for an intensity capable of tearing apart a demon's heart, and a powerful grandeur achieved through high stylistic quality. The reason I did not employ the common musical technique for "ghosts," which involves sound-effect-like music utilizing various percussion instruments, is precisely because I believed that while such methods could imitate Yugen, they could not achieve the expression of Kiratsu. Furthermore, I strived to meet the request of Mr. Yohojin Kibe (Kibe Dancer) for a quiet dance with elements of tranquility, but I could not help but feel some apprehension regarding the compatibility of "tranquility" and Kiratsu.
