FILE38 Adjustment of melodic imagery

Iwasaki Hide, on the other hand, wrote the ending melody using the image of a mother in his early years. Later, after composing music for the scenes of "The Prisoner's Guard" and understanding the direction of love, he preserved the melody but adjusted the arrangement so that the same melody expressed different emotions.
