This is a response to Okina’s prayer. Set in sashinori , sung in tsuyogin style, it is delivered in regular rhythm by the jiutai. The vocal line is supported by the lead kotsuzumi player, performing in flexible rhythm, and by the non-congruent nohkan part, which features the Sō no Shingon no te pattern,–an abbreviated version of the standard Shingon no te pattern.
