Written in 1995 / Recorded in 1995 and 2015
In March 1995, Japan saw a terror attack caused by a religious cult which killed and injured many innocent commuters in Tokyo's underground trains and stations. As an inhabitant of the city, I was affected by this incident and wrote some pieces of music as a result. This was one of them. The initial demo included the lyrics that denounced every major religion with providing seemingly a sound counter-argument. Despite the creation began with an intriguing attempt of synthesizer programming, it ended up to be a Pop / Rock stuff sounds similar to Todd Rundgren's One World.
In making the video version, I replaced my singing sections with newly recorded instrumental bits but decided to leave the title untouched, which coincided with the same title as the famous fiction by Aldous Huxley that I became one of my favourites when I read it in 2008, thirteen years later from the time of writing the tune.
