A classic Japanese song that sings of a man's tears

Even men living in a society that demands excessive “masculinity” sometimes feel like crying out loud, don’t they? Patience may be a virtue, but doing it too much isn’t good.

We cry not only from sadness but also from joy, and shedding tears is a natural human trait we’re born with.
