Original Soundtrack Kaminoko wa Tsubuyaku / Document "Shukyo Nisei' wo Ikiru

[Machine Translation] The soundtrack of the NHK special, a drama and documentary about the "religious second generation" who are currently the focus of attention, is now available on CD in a 2-CD set! The "second-generation religious" are forced to follow the religion of their parents and claim that their freedom of life choices and human rights have been violated in the name of their faith. As the government moves to request a dissolution order for the former Unification Church, the issue, which has been overlooked by society for many years, comes to the fore, while others express their complicated feelings. The music for both series is by Yasuaki Shimizu. The series will depict the deep conflicts faced by children who are forced to live by their parents' values and are restricted from social interaction from an early age. The sensitive music is beautifully synchronized with their hearts, which are violently torn between "God's teachings" separating good from evil and "love for parents," and appeals to the viewer.
