[Song of Birth] A moving birth song wrapped in happiness

THINK ABOUT MY DAUGHTERGLAY

THINK ABOUT MY DAUGHTER

This is a GLAY piece that sets a father’s deep love to a driving, exhilarating beat.

The song appears on the album ONE LOVE, released in November 2001, and although it wasn’t a single, it has remained a favorite among fans.

It warmly portrays a father’s gaze as he watches his daughter grow—from the awe of hearing her first cry, to her adorable early years, and eventually the moment she leaves the nest.

At the time of production, TAKURO, who wrote and composed the song, reportedly didn’t have children yet, but the parental feelings conveyed are so vivid that it’s hard to believe they’re imagined.

Listening to this piece will deepen your tenderness for your newborn child and make you all the more excited for the journey of growth ahead.

Only the number of starsMayumiinu

Only as many as the stars – by Mayumiinu

Hoshino Kazudake, sung by Mayumine, a singer known for many commercial jingles.

Many of you have probably heard it in a disposable diaper commercial.

It’s no exaggeration to say that life with a baby and childcare is a daily battle.

There will be days when you’re completely exhausted.

At times like that, remember the moment you said, “Nice to meet you—let’s do our best together,” to your newborn baby.

And remember that between a mom and her baby, there’s a language that belongs only to the two of them.
