Yuzu Goddess

This is “Megami” (Goddess), a track from the 2006 album Ribbon, which Yuzu’s Kitagawa described as a hymn to women.

It’s told from the perspective of a man who meets a woman he loved in his youth after a long time.

Though she once seemed unreliable, she now shines with strength as she lovingly nurtures a baby in her womb.

The man feels the sanctity of life and realizes that he, too, was born into this world loved in the same way.

It’s a song that conveys the mystery of pregnancy and childbirth from a distinctly male point of view.
