Notes by Saneshige Shigezane

APOGEE / ACCEPT
The highest peak of a symphonic rock which explores every musical landscape.

It is a voice that rings alongside the most important of those in symphonic rock, to my ears.
Apogee/Accept joins them all in melody, harmony, chorus, and
superb performance. Like those one remembers from their youth, the translucent sounds expose us to a multitude of expressions with touching melodies. The sounds on Apogee/Acceptallows us to experience extended soundscapes like illusions stretching on to
the end of the world. When progressive rock first appeared, it was an
experiment in music as "music to progress." It may likewise be said
that Apogee/Accept is a modern experiment in rock music drawing together classical,folk, contemporary, and music from around the world. It seeks to involve every musical element and succeeds in integrating them as its original interpretation in progressive rock. The higher it climbs and closer it gets to its own musical apogee, I feel that it
becomes "pan-music, which is its own cross-genre inner musical world.

The sixth track of ”Earth” suite. Ambient track.
This sixth album, DREAM OF TREE
(2019) , consists of three suites to make a total concept album of 17 tracks; Earth, Rain and Heaven. It presents various sceneries and unfolds continuously changing landscapes as if to read a full-length novel. 
While featuring the themes of the real world problems in lyrics superficially, it refers to a spiritual matter of this present world we belong.
