So, story about this piece - I'd never heard of "Earth Girl Arjuna" and I'm still not entirely sure what it's about. However, over a year ago, I stumbled across a striking Youtube video of a series of KH sketches illustrating the "red string of fate". This song was in the background and I fell in love. Since the description was in Japanese, I had no idea what it was, and only last month was a friend able to identify it for me. I should have figured it was Yoko Kanno by the made-up language featured in it.

Anyway, instead of the actual context of this music, it will always remind me of the words:

“An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break.”

Original music by Yoko Kanno
Live instruments: English horn, oboe, and literally one measure of piccolo
