Shunsuke Kasai / From Mother

Shunsuke Kasai is a true multi-talented singer-songwriter who handles guitar, bass, piano, and other instruments, and takes on everything from songwriting to merchandise design.

His song “From Mother,” written about the resolve and determination to become a mother after giving birth, is one you should listen to at least once.

You’ll likely find yourself thinking, “Have there ever been lyrics that so directly express the anxieties and joys of becoming a mother?” It’s a track made precisely for this theme—one I want every expectant mother to hear.

The sound is also great, stripped of flashiness so the lyrics truly shine.

It’s included on Kasai’s second album, “10-TEN-ANNIVERSARY.”

Her name, Kana Kodaira, is read as “Odaira Kana.” She’s a singer-songwriter who draws a lot of attention from parents with young children, as many of her songs revolve around family love and tunes parents gift to their kids.

She’s actually a mother of two herself.

With the theme “I can do my best because I have children,” her lyrics tenderly follow her child’s growth from fetus to baby to child, with unmatched gentleness—bringing listeners to tears.

If you’re feeling anxious about childbirth, this is a song you should definitely listen to.

You’ll surely want to play it again and again.

The track is included on the album “Ashita e no Michishirube” (A Guidepost to Tomorrow).

[Official] “Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle” Main Theme “Strange, Mysterious Creatures” Music Video

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!

Kobukuro, beloved by a wide range of listeners for their beautiful harmonies.

Envelope is a song like a gift to parents celebrating the birth of a new life.

The title means “to wrap” or “to envelop.” The track was written specifically as the theme song for the drama Liaison: Kodomo no Kokoro Shinryojo (Liaison: Children’s Mental Clinic), and it is infused with gentle feelings that connect with the story.

It’s a piece filled with the joy and gratitude of becoming a parent, the moving experience of gazing at a newborn’s tiny life—everything is wrapped inside this one song.

It’s a birth song I wholeheartedly recommend to first-time parents and to those who are about to welcome a new baby.
