Hamauzu has also produced arranged albums for a few of his works, including Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon ~Coi Vanni Gialli~ and Piano Pieces "SF2" Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2. He also prepared the piano arrangements for Final Fantasy X Piano Collections and Yasunori Mitsuda (光田康典)'s Sailing to the World Piano Score.

浜渦正志 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chase the tender light, borders let's cross over
Ready to define the mists inside your heart?
Take a breath and start your life
Waves of a new day
Clear all the gloom away
Hope is what we simply need to proceed
Clear all the gloom away
Hope is what we simply need to proceed
The lyrics to 浜渦正志's song The Sunleth Waterscape encourages the listeners to explore new perspectives and take a chance on a better tomorrow. The line "Step into the rainbow, find another view" suggests that one must break away from their usual routine and immerse themselves in new experiences. The following line "Chase the tender light, borders let's cross over" emphasizes on the importance of taking risks and not being afraid to venture into unknown territories. The song then urges the listeners to confront their own fears and face their inner demons by asking "Ready to define the mists inside your heart?".
The chorus of the song, "Waves of a new day, clear all the gloom away. Hope is what we simply need to proceed", suggests that even in the darkest of times, hope is a powerful force that can help us move forward. The waves of a new day metaphorically represent a fresh start or a new beginning, and the gloom represents the obstacles that we may have to overcome. The song encourages people to hold onto hope and persevere in the face of adversity.
