A moving song written and composed by the trend-setting artist Taiiku Okazaki and sung by Tortoise Matsumoto.
Since it played as a track for Pokémon, it’s a familiar tune for fans of the anime.
You might think that because it’s a Pokémon song, “mysterious creatures” refers to Pokémon—but that’s not it.
This is actually a tearjerker about the love between parent and child.
Parenting begins with confusion and worry, and thinking about the day your child will leave the nest makes your chest tighten; no matter which line you pick, you’ll find phrases that make you want to say, “Mom, Dad, thank you.” Give it a listen when you need a breather!

“I love my daughter” by BREAKERZ, fronted by DAIGO, who is himself a girl dad.

In the music video, DAIGO even appears alongside his own child! Written specifically for the drama, the song is filled with a father’s love for his daughter.
It reflects on the days since her birth, and on the bittersweet feelings toward a daughter who will continue to grow up.
Its gentle melody carries a message that is sure to move not only dads and moms, but also children who, as they grow, come to understand the meaning of the lyrics.
You were born to be loved.Matsumoto Yuka
This gentle song, sung by Yuka Matsumoto, a gospel singer from Hokkaido, is about an all-embracing love.
Where there is a life being born, there is also a life coming to an end.
Surely, among mothers who have just gone through the life-or-death struggle of childbirth, there are moments when, alongside the joy of their child’s birth, they feel pressure about how to protect that life.
That’s exactly when I’d recommend this song.
When you listen to it in anxious times, your heart feels lighter, and you’ll think, “It’s enough just to be alive.” It’s a song you’ll want to play for your baby, too.
