The theme song by Genki Yonezu and the “underlying power” of the song in the play “Wings to the Tiger” captivated the viewers.

NHK’s TV drama series “Tora to Tsubasa” reached its final episode on September 27. Even after the broadcast, many viewers are still talking about “Toratsuba,” and with each passing day, more and more people are complaining of “Toratsuba loss.

Why is “Tora ni Tsubasa” loved so much by viewers?

It is too late to say this, but this drama depicts the life of Yoshiko Mibuchi, Japan’s first female lawyer, who later served as a judge.

However, it is not just a story of a woman’s rise to the top of the closed legal profession. The atomic bomb trial, the unconstitutional ruling against the killing of a nobleman, and other themes that have not been touched upon in previous morning dramas. It also sheds light on today’s themes such as sexual minorities and married couples’ surnames.

A drama that connects our thoughts 100 years into the future.

The storyline, which is without sanctuary, has also attracted much attention. In addition, the theme song “Sayonara Motto Someday! also played a role in increasing the number of “Toratsuba” fans.

Yonezu said of the theme song, “As I read the script, my spine grew. You can’t face it with a half-hearted attitude. I wrote the song with Torako’s feelings in mind, recalling the unreasonableness and anger I had felt. The resulting pop and danceable theme song is a cheering song for the heroine Torako, who lives the beast path of the legal profession. The high degree of synchronization between the lyrics and the storyline was also a real eye-catcher.

Yonezu encourages Torako, who is about to break down, by sending her the message that she should leave her unfulfilled dreams to the future, even though she has stumbled and hurt herself on the “animal path” of the legal profession. One hundred years later, however, could Torako and her friends’ “Ameidareishi wo tsuki ni tsukuru” (Pierce the Ameidareishi) really change this world?

Unfortunately, it cannot be said so. This song is also a pep talk for our generation who will inherit the thoughts of Torako and her family.

And one more song.” Toratsuba” has a great song that is no less than the theme song.

It is “You are so amazing,” written by Yuta Mori, who also composed the music for this film, and sung by Stuart Murdoch.

The song is a hidden gem, no less than the theme song that gently accompanies the heroines in scenes where their hearts are broken and they are unable to stand up. The song is sung by Stuart Murdoch, the vocalist of Belle and Sebastian (Belseba), one of Scotland’s most famous bands. I asked myself, ‘Who in the world would I most like to hear sing this song for all women and those who are having a hard time living?

Insert song that brought viewers closer to the A-bomb trial

The first scene that comes to mind when I hear this song. It is, after all, the scene in episode 40 (May 24) when her husband Yuzo (Taiga Nakano) goes off to war. Then, the scene in episode 44 (May 30) when Torako cries from the bottom of her heart upon learning of her husband’s death in the war.

In episodes 40 through 44, when the heroine and the viewers are overcome by the irresistible tragedy of war, this melody accompanies the sorrow of the heroine and the viewers many times.

There is one more thing. There is one more unforgettable episode. It was the 23rd week, when the atomic bombing trial was being held.

In particular, episode 114 (September 5) featured a scene in which Miki Yoshida (Noriko Iriyama) confides in her lawyer, Yone Yamada (Shiori Doi), and others about the grief of the atomic bomb survivors. However, to Yone,

However, Yone persuades Miki that “this society will throw stones at any woman who raises her voice without mercy.

Miki tearfully refuses to go up on the stand to testify.

Instead, her lawyer, Taichi Todoroki (Sumitaka Totsuka), reads Miki’s letter to the court and makes a heartfelt plea about her A-bomb experience and the feelings of the survivors. You are so amazing” was a heart-wrenching scene that brought many viewers closer to the hibakusha.

As I watched the film, I was moved to tears, remembering my grandmother, who had waited eight years and eight months for the verdict of the A-bomb trial and passed away from leukemia just before the verdict.

The scene of the verdict was broadcast the next day. The “reasons for the verdict” were given after the main text of the verdict.

I cannot help but deplore the poverty of politics.

The atomic bombings were a violation of international law.

The judge’s words were uttered. This was the moment when the raindrops pierced the stone.

The cheering song that kept pushing the heroines’ backs, “Sayonara again someday! The song was a song that kept pushing the heroines’ backs. and “You are so amazing,” which tenderly touched the broken hearts of the heroines. If not for these two songs, the reputation of the morning drama “Tora ni Tsubasa” might have been different.
