Original soundtrack album for the TV drama "Nami no Bon" released in 1983 on the WAVE label of the now-defunct record store chain owned by Seibu. The music was composed by Toru Takemitsu and performed by Tokyo Concerts under the condact of Hiroyuki Iwashiro. Written by So Kuramoto and starring Chishu Ryu and Haruko Kato, the story is about a Hawaiian Japanese immigrant family torn apart by war. In particular, A1, which expresses the theme of this work, "Nami no Bon" (tray of waves), functions as the total concept of the entire work, which is very wonderful. This is a piece that is not often seen.
A1: 波の盆
B4/B5: 手紙/ヒロシマ
