"Zither"

This video was made in memory of Hikaru's beloved cat, Zither.

He came as a kitten to Hikaru in 1988.
He was very "musical" and often, sung along with Hikaru.
After the divorce, he was well taken cared of by Hikaru's former wife.
He gently passed on July 10th, 2007.
The song in the background is the 12th song (Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen) from Dichterliebe(Poet's Love) composed by Robert Schumann with the text by Heinrich Heine.
It is sung by Hikaru Hirata-Miyakawa, with Cara Bradbury on the piano.
