I guess I was picking up quite a few songs on NHK's "Nodo Jiman"(のど自慢)today. Not only did I find a nice kid's song on the program but there was also a so-sentimental-it-hurts number that I discovered from one of the other participants.
In any event, the lyrics by Yuriko Shima(志磨ゆり子)are pretty much what it says in the title....about someone who wants to give thanks to everyone in his life who put up with him and helped him out through the tough times. I wouldn't be surprised by its karaoke use at a wedding reception in Japan or perhaps at a retirement party. Considering how hard Koganezawa worked to get where he is today, I'm sure that it wasn't too difficult for him to put his own feelings into the song.
Otani and Shima also collaborated for one of Koganezawa's other songs, "Negai, Ichijomodori Bashi"(願・一条戻り橋).
