Other The nursery rhyme "Tsuki no Sabaku" was chosen as the number one song in Chiba Prefecture and number five nationwide in the "Top 100 Hometown Songs" conducted by NHK in 1989, and continues to fascinate people to this day. The meaning behind the use of "sha" in "Tsuki no Sabaku" The "sha" in the nursery rhyme "Tsuki no Sabaku" has the meaning of "sand beach." The motif is the scenery of Onjuku Beach, where Masao Kato, who suffered from tuberculosis as a student, visited to recuperate, and since the sand on the beach is moist, it is called "desert" instead of "desert."
