Situation: The worldwide famous American singer,Paul Stookey sings about one Japanese girl who was abducted by North Korea in Nigata prefecture, Japan in 1977. In the song"Song for Megumi", He speaks to everyone's heart instead if Megumi's mother Sakie Yokota.
Conflict: Megumi's mother,Sakie loves Megumi from bottom of the heart. She is dying to see Megumi and wants to let Megumi go home because Megumi was abducted when she was only 13 years old. Megumi was dissapeared in front of her susuddenly without saying anything. No time to say good-bye,no word to be spoken. Sakie's heart influences whole this song.
Struggle: Sakie speaks to Megumi even through she doesn't know where Megumi is alive in. She believes that Megumi is definitely still alive and returns from North Korea. Megumi's dream was broken, so Sakie is sad.
Outcome: Finally, she speaks to Megumi to go home again. Sakie believes that her voice and desire will be sent to Megumi's heart and lead her home. She has a strong desire, temper and sadness at the same time.
Meaning: I think that this song has strong power to speak to my heart about Megumi. I know her circumstance on TV news and I have given presentation about her at Japanese university before. If the important person dissapear or be abducted by somebody who I don't know, I will be panic and feel as if I lost everything on my life. However, this song includes both Sakie's anger about the abduction and desire for Megumi. The most important thing is to believe ourselves,have a desire in our mind even if there seems to be no hope.
