H: Waves on the Yotsuse Coast: 217k
12:00, March 6, 1996

"Probably because of the sorrounding landscape, the waves on the Yotsuse coast are a little calmer. The beach is of rough granite sand, so the sound is like this. The sound of waves differs from place to place. The sound of waves in the Ogasawara Islands, with its beaches of coral sand, is like twinkling stars. Waves on a beach of ground seashells might make a sound similar to a multisonic recorder. If the beach on a coast is made of small stones, the sound of the waves would be different again."
