Not sure if it's their home in Tokyo Japan or Unionville Ontario, but Kayo Grace Kyoku is enjoying a walk nearby with her younger sisters Nayo and Mayo on either side of her. Of course, Mr. Calico will always be around. Having been to Tokyo and Unionville, both have their lovely advantages.
That's the message by veteran band Pedro & Capricious（ペドロ＆カプリシャス）through their 7th single "Wagamachi wa..." (Our Town is...) from November 1974. A folksy sunshine pop tune that is upbeat enough to earn status as a theme song for a Japanese family drama, that is indeed chanteuse Mariko Takahashi（高橋真梨子）as the main vocalist when she was the second person to hold that position. Written by Yu Aku（阿久悠）and composed by Shunichi Tokura（都倉俊一）, the story is that the parents are reminding the kids about always remembering and cherishing where they came from. They might be striking it big in Tokyo but getting back to the old hometown will be far more valuable as they will learn over the decades.
