On June 12, 2026, the third clear day of the rainy season, I photographed the rose garden of Nagai Botanical Garden in Osaka. This video work consists of 355 photographs, accompanied by Natsuho Murata, Tomoko Kato, Ririko Takagi, Ayano Nonomura, and music from “Saka no Ue no Kumo.” The total running time is approximately 29 minutes and 35 seconds.

The third clear day of the rainy season.
Today, I went to the rose garden of Nagai Botanical Garden.
The day before yesterday, I had been utterly exhausted and had to give up photographing the rose garden.
Today, as I headed there, Sarah Brightman’s “Time To Say Goodbye” came to my mind.
There was a new surprise.
The roses were not over yet.
Rather, in the light of this clear interval during the rainy season, they revealed expressions I had never seen before.
The photographs turned out well.
I took 355 photographs.
At five seconds per photograph, the total running time is approximately 29 minutes and 35 seconds.
The music is as follows:
Natsuho Murata: The Last Rose of Summer, Aug. 2022: Tibor Junior Competition 2022 Final
Tomoko Kato: Kreisler: Romantic Cradle Song
Ririko Takagi: Dvořák: Sonatina for Violin and Piano, 1st Movement
Ayano Nonomura: “Saka no Ue no Kumo” Main Theme
“Saka no Ue no Kumo”: Original Piano Version
On this day, the rose garden of Nagai Botanical Garden once again showed me a new scene.
Roses blooming in a brief clear spell during the rainy season.
Their appearance was a farewell, and at the same time, a new beginning.
