Tenmon (天門, Tenmon) is the ninja art of understanding and using meteorology as a strategic weapon. It allowed ninja to foresee weather changes and to use them as an advantage. By knowing nature's changes, animal behaviour, or atmospheric signs, one could use rainy weather or a hot sunny period as strategic elements to weaken and defeat the enemy.
5 Centimeters Per Second (Japanese: 秒速5センチメートル, Hepburn: Byōsoku 5 Senchimētoru) is a 2007 Japanese animated feature film by Makoto Shinkai. The film was finished on 22 January 2007.

As in Shinkai's previous works, Tenmon composed this film's soundtrack. The film was awarded Best Animated Feature Film at the 2007 Asia Pacific Screen Awards. The DVD was released on 19 July 2007.

Composer: Tenmon (天門) Violin: Eco Nakayama (中山エーコ) Album: 「悠久の老木」Lost Empire Saga Track 8 Image by eighBee (Pixiv 435386) "One sunny day ~A place in the sun~" However, the first part could also be "One day, after the rain". Yay ambiguity. Another favorite from this album, even though I could say that about most of its tracks. Some beautiful violin work here.
My attempt to cover Tenmon's music from my favourite animated feature film "5 Centimeters Per Second". Performed live at Wahroonga SDA church in Sydney.
Song: One More Time, One More Chance from "5 Centimeters Per Second" Composer: Tenmon
I'm standing among wishers and stalkers
who give the evil eye to laughers and talkers
and I've got to admit it - I want to I'm singing along
I'm one of your wishers baby - I wish I was a song
All the prettiest girls dance to be near you
I've got another admission I haven't come just to hear you
You sing desire over and over from here to dawn
I'd want to be stuck in your head if I was a song
I, I wish I was a song
I, I wish I was a song
A melody blue eyed greed
long and slow I would be the lullaby you sing
No tune in time no spoken verse no pages drawn
I feel like love and mercy if I was a song
I, I wish I was a song
I, I wish I was a song
I, I wish I was a song
