The song feels like Tokyo breathing out a long-held vow—terraces, miners and a yearning dragon all threading the city's past into its skyline so that hope grows from history rather than erasing it. It opens a narrow, luminous room where you can keep one foot in the soil and one lifted to the sky, letting the weight of loss settle into a quiet, expectant stretch toward what might be rebuilt.
