Takashi Hosokawa won the Japan Record Award two years in a row in 1982 and 1983 with “Kita Sakaba” and “Yagiri no Watashi,” but it seemed his popularity dipped a bit afterward.

Amid that, this 1991 release was featured in a commercial for Kirin Brewery’s ‘Kirin Draft,’ and it became a hot topic.

It’s a song whose quietly reflective lyrics convey the feel of life.

At the end, the line “Gutto ikō yo, ○○-kun” is typically sung by swapping in someone’s name on the spot for fun.
