I listened to this song again after not having heard it in a while, and for me it brought to mind the relationship dynamic between Shoichi and his father. Along the same parallel, it could also apply to Keisuke and his father. Parental hopes and expectations forced upon one who was given no choice in the matter, reinforced by a modern practical application of what appears to be indentured servitude. I hope our husbandos find their courage by the end.
