Included on the album “Gunjo Refrain,” the track was released in November 2018, and in May 2020 an emotional music video composed of about 400 photos and videos submitted by fans was unveiled.
It’s a perfect song for times when you want to convey gratitude to your mother or reflect on the bond between parent and child.

The second single by Kiroro, a two-woman unit from Okinawa.
Many people have probably sung this song in school classes or at choral competitions in middle and high school.
For that reason, it’s also known as a graduation song.
At the same time, since member Chiharu Tamashiro wrote it as a letter to her mother when she was in her third year of junior high school, it’s also recommended as a song of gratitude to mothers.
Everyone has probably rebelled against their mother at least once and later regretted it as an adult.
