A 1966 hit song written and composed by Akihiro Miwa himself. It is a song in which Miwa reminisces about the late mother of a friend she grew up with when she was a child (she died working hard to provide for her father and children). The protagonist's past includes the frustration of being bullied as a child due to his mother's occupation (a day laborer as a land leveler), the fact that he graduated from high school and university even though he was almost discouraged, and the machines of the period of high economic growth became widespread. It also includes scenes of him growing up to become a fine engineer in a world where he lived in a world where he lived. (From the free encyclopedia Wikipedia Japanese version: https://x.gd/tneKJ)
