Rainy Waltz from Opus One by Masaki Okamoto

"Rainy Waltz" revisits an early piano piece, reimagined with improved sound and a drum part to match the album's style. It's a delicate balance between melancholy and hope, encapsulating the reflective essence of a rain-soaked waltz. Initially conceived in Tokyo, this piece was finished in Berlin amidst a landscape rich in history and artistic rebirth.
