[Composer comment]

 Originally, Mr. T from JPC told me, ``I think it would be great if there was a song that was challenging to play with a small number of instruments that didn't use too many special instruments, but could also be enjoyed by at least two beginners when playing at school, and if you wanted to give that option, you could do it by yourself.'' I thought, ``I see,'' and I started writing it. At that time, the corona misfortune began in this world. As a drinker myself, I was stressed out by not being able to drink freely, so I wrote this song based on the names of three restaurants that I frequent and think, ``Someday, I'll go to a world where I can drink without hesitation!'' They are wine bar, wine bar, and yakiniku respectively. Regardless of the atmosphere of the store, I wrote the song with images of "paradise," "forest," and "frost." If you know the store, please let us know.

Due to the convenience of filming, I used a large marimba, but it can be played in four octaves.
A concert-type marimba is recommended for its resonance and the wide variety of mallet options.
