What this song "The Day Birds Disappeared in the Sky" wants to express is exactly what we so-called "people" must do before the supposed "day of disappearance" comes. But the author didn't say how to do it, and he didn't have to say it. Poetry leaves readers room to think. Everyone has different things to do, so we can't generalize.
As long as we can realize this, we must do something before the beast disappears, the fish disappears, the child disappears, the self disappears, the bird disappears, and finally the life disappears.
Extended data:
Shuntaro Tanikawa is a famous Japanese national poet. His poems are about life. His poems are written for family, mother, children, lovers, friends and a lily in full bloom in the June sun. At the age of twenty-one, he published his first book of poetry, The Solitude of Two Billion Light-years, which caused a sensation in the literary world.
Therefore, Osamu Tezuka called him and invited him to write lyrics for the theme song of Astro Boy. When Kenzaburo Oe was young, he felt that he lacked the talent to write poetry and gave up poetry creation. Since then, more than 70 poems have been published, including 62 sonnets and Melancholy Down the River.
His poems are simple in language, fresh in style, full of love and warmth, and are very popular in Japan. His poems have been reprinted in more than 50 editions in the past decades, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 800,000 copies. Between the high level and best-selling of his poems, Tanigawa's works have created a contemporary miracle. He is probably the only contemporary poet who can live a comfortable life only by collecting royalties.
In addition, he has also cooperated with many famous people in Japanese cultural circles. He once wrote lyrics for the theme song of Miyazaki Hayao's movie "Hal's Moving Castle", wrote poems for Nobuyoshi Araki's photo album, and collaborated with director Ji Shu Sishan to create a radio drama.
