Commissioned by Kuwanoyama Junior High School in October 2013 and premiered in December 2013 at Sanyo Onoda City Cultural Center.

The source work is a clarinet quartet composed in the same year, and it was revised to a saxophone sextet with two percussion to enhance the rhythmic excitement and exotic scene development. The work is in ternary form: fast-slow-fast which will sound more attractive with clear contrast.

While it is playable by wind instruments alone, I believe this piece has a new potential for saxophone and percussion.
