Origin
=Popularity with Soldiers
In 1985, the song was first broadcasted to Lucian soldiers abroad, more specifically in Erebonia to LCAE personnel, who found the song to keep their spirits high. At that time, the Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis was taking place, which affected Lucis Commonwealth soldiers who could not go home. Eventually, the song was often played on missions and raids taking place throughout Zemuria. It was a favourite most specially to ERUAC personnel
In addition, the song's romantic references made Lucis Commonwealth soldiers relate to finding love in Erebonia.
A young Colonel Kiriya Kitagawa found to song to be one of his favourites. His unit, TF 131, found themselves often jiving or enjoying to the song while on board helicopters or while driving on the countryside. Kiriya was also able to relate to the romantic references found in the song when he found love during his time in Thors Military Academy as an instructor, and later chancellor.
Later on, the song was being played during Task Force 141 and 142's duties, whether it be in allied or over enemy lines.
