This is one of the representative works of modern popular music of Japan. The performance recorded is played by a string orchestra, while the original form had a song. It came into vogue immediately after the World War II. It would be easy to imagine how the sweet, slightly plaintive but elegant melody of this song softened the temper of the Japanese people after the War and fascinated them.
