This is an album released in 1984, featuring the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus singing a song composed by Toru Takemitsu that was re-arranged for chorus. The conductor is Hiroyuki Iwashiro. The older songs include "Good-bye" (B4) with lyrics by Kuniharu Akiyama, composed in the early 1950s, soon after the start of commercial broadcasting, "In a small room" (A3) composed for an anti-Apartheid rally in 1960, "The song of ○ and △" sung in the film "Delinquent Boy" directed by Susumu Hani, also produced in 1960, "The song of ○ and △ In addition, there is B6, which is an arrangement of the old Japanese song "Sakura."
