Original Title: 彼岸帰航 ~ Riverside View

Original CD Track Story:

A journey of the mind along the Boyu Line.
-The Tokaido Subway is the most Japanesque subway in Japan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Higan Retour ~ Riverside View--
"Merry, did you know that the Higan ceremonies in Tokyo has some strange manners and customs?"
"Huh? How?"
"There's not only visiting your family's grave,
::but finding gaps in the area around the graveyard and visiting the Netherworld, too.
::You know how ancestors come back from the Netherworld during the Bon Festival, right?
::During Higan, you go to them to return the favor.
"Is that true?
:Oh my! I'm not ready at all. Why did you keep it a secret?"
"Because it was a lie.
::Still, let's go anyway, since we've come all this way."
The Boyu Tokaido was made for the sole purpose of rapidly moving people between Tokyo and Kyoto.
That is why there are only two stations.
They're called Bo-Tokyo Station and Yu-Kyoto Station.
In other words, there're no other stops except the first and the last one.
36 minutes have already passed since they left Yu-Kyoto Station.
The scenery outside was likely the same as what Utagawa Hiroshige enjoyed.
The beauty was beyond words. The sky, the sea, Mt. Fuji and the 53 stations.
