Annotation — Japanese Songs
The song "ユエの流れに (The Moonlight in Hue)" (Express # EP-1115), a Japanese pop song set during the Vietnam War based around the city of Hue - narrated from the domestic perspective, as a woman longs for her partner to return from the war: "I long for that person's heart... the sound of drums resonated in the distance". As can be seen on the front cover, a soldier stands in front of a bombed building.
