SENRITSU

We Japanese can find a lot of same sound words "Senritsu" but meaning different, such as melody, horror, sharpen, thousand of RITSU (musical mode), and so on. Basically Senritsu=Melody is one of the 3 important elements of the music form. This word game is my starting point. I tried lines proceed to horrible, sharpen melody, thousands of RITSU mode (Ritsu sempo). "Sen-no" means "thousands of " but not using one thousand times, just most. The RITSU mode is Hyo-jyo, Ohshiki-cho, Banshiki-cho in Gagaku 6 forms which use 7 sounds for série, put G and D in the based 5 sounds, E, Fis, A, H, Gis. This number consist of a single movement, excute with interlacing a sharpen movement, RITSU mode's harmony and the trembling sounds. RITSU mode part is recognized tonality sound in the melody.
