Motherkariyushi 5857rank/position
A heartwarming song whose title means “mother” in the Okinawan dialect.
Released in July 2006 as Kariyushi 58’s debut single, it was initially available only in Okinawa and later issued nationwide.
At the time of their debut, the band was facing the possibility of being dropped by their label after not achieving the results they’d hoped for, but this work straightforwardly sings of gratitude and regret toward one’s mother.
In December 2006, it won the Newcomer Award at the 39th Japan Cable Music Awards—an exceptional feat for an indie artist.
Set to a comfortable melody that blends warm Okinawan music with reggae and rock, it poignantly portrays the parent–child relationship from childhood to adulthood.
It may well make you think of your mother back home and fill you with nostalgia.
