n-buna's internal phrase meets the work

n-buna of Yorushika, who composed the song, revealed specific inspiration regarding the background of the composition and its connection to the work. He shared that while spending his daily life thinking about what concept to discuss in his next album, the phrase "Beyond the clouds, where the wind heads, by myself" kept floating in his mind.

n-buna envisioned an image where there is nothing there, only the wind blowing over a vast meadow, with the wind passing through the clouds endlessly. Based on this concept, the form of "Beyond the Clouds, Only Me Downwind" began to take shape. He added that around that time, he received the proposal to work on The Apothecary Diaries and felt a strange certainty that the music he was creating would create an interesting chemical reaction when met with this work.
