Ramune, my favorite drink, inspired me to compose this song. If you don’t know, Ramune is a Japanese carbonated soda that comes in a bottle, and at the top of the bottle is a marble.

I composed this song with the intention to capture that experience. Nipponophiles, drink your heart out. Read More…
