Bar 4, the last chord of the solo-piano introduction, held and tied before the A theme

Six notes stacked in perfect fourths from C♯ (C♯, F♯, B, E, A, D), which together spell B minor 11 over a C♯ bass. It is the fourth and last chord of the piano introduction to One Summer's Day from Spirited Away, landing at the bottom of a bass line that steps down F, E, D, C♯. Because every neighbouring pair is a fourth apart, it sounds open and floating rather than plainly minor.

Also called Six Fourths, Six Fourths over C-sharp, One Summer's Day chord
