I’m a dad.pikuson

Papa Nandesu, sung by a kids’ song-and-play unit, portrays a dad’s emotions from the birth of his baby up to marriage.
Many dads struggle with raising children in ways different from moms.
They can’t do things as smoothly as moms do, yet they’re full of the desire to connect—and often end up stumbling.
Still, it’s certain they have just as much love for their children as moms.
This song depicts those slightly unreliable yet deeply loving dads who are surely right by your side.
If you’re a dad who’s a bit clumsy and can’t express yourself directly to your child, why not let this song gently convey your feelings?
