White RoadSakkyoku: Vivuarudi62rank/position

White Road (NHK Minna no Uta) Self-made Instrumental Cover / Vocals: takimari

“Shiroi Michi” (The White Road) depicts someone walking alone along a snow-covered white path, recalling memories from days spent with their mother.

In fact, this song sets lyrics to the second movement of that famous composer Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in F minor “Winter,” RV 297! Vivaldi’s original piece also had an accompanying sonnet, though its content differs from that of “Shiroi Michi.” The lyrics, which sing of nostalgic memories, really tug at the heartstrings.

When a child sings it, it might even bring a tear to Mom’s or Dad’s eyes!

“Shiroi Michi” (“The White Road”) depicts a nostalgic scene of remembering a pure white road blanketed with snow, walked hand in hand with one’s mother.

Set to the melody of Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in F minor, “Winter,” Second Movement, it features newly written Japanese lyrics.

The protagonist now walks alone, recalling not only winter but also scenes from spring and autumn.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to do your best—just like the mother who always faced forward and kept walking no matter the circumstances.

As you listen, try to recall your own memories of snow and family.
