Mother on the QuayFutaba Yuriko
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.
The track “Kansha,” included on her 12th major-label album, The Foot of the Rainbow, makes a striking impression with an opening that unfolds in rich, spacious choral layers.
