Birth Songs to Celebrate the Joy of Childbirth (41–50)
Thank you for being born.hitomi
A very warm song that conveys the joy of your birth, “Thank You for Being Born.” The gentle tones of the backing sound and hitomi’s tender, conversational singing voice are wonderful.
Hearing this song after giving birth will surely move you.
Please use this song to express the feelings you want to share with your child.
AiHata Motohiro
A ballad by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
What exactly is “ai” (love)? You can’t see it to begin with, and even if someone says, “Love is there,” it’s hard to grasp.
But when you meet someone precious, when your hands and hearts touch, ordinary days gently become something you cherish.
When you feel it’s become so important that the thought of losing it scares you, that might be what love is.
I want to protect youJUJU
The opening song of the film “It All Began When I Met You” is “Mamotte Agetai” (“I Want to Protect You”).
It drew attention because the folk duo Yuzu provided the song to the singer JUJU.
The message—“You’re fine just the way you are; when you turn around, I’ll always be here”—expresses love not only for a partner but for all the dear people in our lives, such as children and friends.
It’s a classic ballad overflowing with the desire to protect those we hold dear.
Only by livingKiroro
Kiroro’s “Ikite Koso” conveys the wish for someone to live their life fully from here on.
Released in 2005, the song was used as the opening theme for the anime “Mushiking: The King of Beetles – The Legend of the Forest People.” From a child’s perspective, it asks the parents about the time when the child was a baby and sings about the journey of living up to now.
Just as the parents lovingly raised their child, this is a song that inspires the resolve to raise one’s own child so that they, too, can live strongly and well.
Song of LifeTakeuchi Mariya
It’s a song said to be one of Japan’s masterpieces, celebrating every form of life.
Many people have probably heard the melody.
It packs the joy of living into all kinds of beautiful words.
Though our lives will one day fade, it reminds us that this world is wonderful.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessMatsutōya Yumi
It’s the song known as the ending theme of Studio Ghibli’s film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
The singer is Yumi Matsutoya, who was performing under the name Yumi Arai at the time.
I imagine many expectant mothers today watched the movie when they were children.
The lyrics beautifully convey the love we received from our parents, often without even realizing it, and they really resonate.
It’s a song I especially hope women about to give birth and start raising children will listen to.
Its gentle melody will surely soothe both baby and mother.
We don’t have anything in our hands, butRAM WIRE
The moving song brought to you by RAM WIRE is a gem of a ballad that sings of the importance of emotional connection over material wealth.
Released in July 2015 as the theme song for the film “Smiles in the Mirror,” this piece carries the courage to keep looking forward without losing hope, even while facing hardship and loneliness.
Its animated music video, themed around the bonds and love between parents and children, also drew attention.
It’s the perfect song for celebrating the birth of a new life or for moments when you want to reaffirm your bond with someone special.
Wrapped in RAM WIRE’s warm vocals, why not take the opportunity to express your gratitude to your newborn child, the family who has supported you, or your partner?
