A song based on the true story of a mother who, dreaming of the day her son would return from war, stood on the pier every time a repatriation ship came in and kept waiting for his figure to appear.
Precisely because Japan is at peace, we should look back and remember the folly of war; at the same time, this is the cry of a Japanese mother, poignantly depicting a mother’s deep love.

Chitose Hajime, a singer who has stood out since her debut with vocals that prominently feature the distinctive melodic inflections of Amami folk music.
