Reference audio source. The composer's commentary on the song follows. During the Age of Discovery, Magellan and his crew accomplished the feat of circumnavigating the globe, but Magellan himself died during the voyage. There is no "if" in history, but this song was created with the image of Magellan's unknown voyage in mind, "If Magellan's soul remained in this world and continued to circumnavigate the globe...". Magellan's soul, who died during his voyage around the globe, travels around the world in search of only that. There, a world he has never seen before awaits him. Many unknown lands, unknown seas... Magellan's soul, which has continued to touch these worlds, will eventually conquer the entire Earth. This song depicts the tiny human being challenging the great power of nature. The various aspects of the ocean, such as its size, warmth, strength, ferocity, and fear, are expressed, as well as Magellan's pursuit of the truth based on his own beliefs. Please note that there are some parts of the rental version that are slightly different from the recording, such as the rhythm of the percussion instruments, but this was changed during proofreading, as we felt that it would be better to do it this way. Thank you for your understanding. (Masanobu Tarutani)
