Just 20 years ago, we, Japanese lost one great actor, Yusaku Matsuda . Probably some of you know or see him, because he got a part of gangster in the movie Black Rain with Michael Douglas or Andy Garcia. He did many movies and TV dramas, and I love all of his works. Lately, many TV channels broadcast his movies and dramas a lot everyday.

One of my favorite his movies, its theme song is awesome, and when I watched this movie yesterday, I cried when I was listening to this song.


Its lyric is based from the poem which the poetry wrote in about 1920, and the movie director translated it to English.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Mama,Do you remember the old straw hat you gave to me
I lost the hat long ago flew to the foggy canyon
Yeah Mama,I wonder what happened to that old straw hat
Falling down the mountain side out of my reach like your heart

Suddenly the wind came up
Stealing my hat from me yeah
Swirling whirling gusts of wind
Blowing it higher away

Mama,that old straw hat was the only one I really loved
But we lost it,no one could bring it back like the life you gave me

Like the life you gave me
Like the life you gave me
Like the life you gave me


When I was 9 or 10, I could not understand how this means, I mean, I could understood what it said, but I couldn't know a sadness or a heartrending sorrow in this poem. You also will understand this sadness when thinking by replacing "Hat" with yourself and your mom.

This version is also so nice, and I love it. smile
