Description
[Background of this song]
This song was written by Mr Haku Ide and composed by Mr Minoru Endo and was sung by Mr Masao Sen. Since its release in 1977 it has been very poluar and has been covred in various Asian countries. This shows how the song reached people's hearts. The Great East Japan Earthquake has further added the polularity of this song.
[Meaning of the lyrics]
Mr Ide depicts the feelings of a young man longing for his hometown. He left there to work in a big city. There were so many people who left their hometowns to find jobs because of financial difficulties. It often happened that only the first son of a household stayed at home helping the household's business. In this song, the main character is a second son. The scenery, the sounds, and the people of his hometowns depicted in this song are all imagined thinking his hometowns. This song seems also to suggest that brightness of spring will definitely come after cold winter.
