The part of ensemble of the band might go out strongly. Part of acoustic guitar and part where element of music of the Middle East is reminiscent. And, it is partial of Chord and the melody that develops one after another. The idea is expressed by the technology of the performance.

"Star Maiden/Mysterioso/Quasar" starts from the line of gentle Bass. The tempo that flows slowly produces a good space. The sound of the bell is faced and the tune faces complex development in the signal. The rhythm and the melody that multiuses the rhythm of 8/10 and 8/11 listen to an overwhelming technology. The sound of the bell is shifted in the signal and the tune shifts to the following part again. A bright melody and the dash feeling produce a progressive part of the tune.
