An anthem to support childcare that I want to dedicate to moms and dads. Inspiring classics and popular songs that keep you going.
Introducing uplifting songs we want tired moms and dads to hear!
Kids can be demanding, they don’t listen… Parenting can make you frustrated, and sometimes it brings you to tears.
Caring for a newborn or a toddler in the “no” phase can especially make you feel like, “I’m the one who wants to cry.”
When your emotions are unsteady, you might find your tone getting harsh or that you scold too much—and then blame yourself afterward, don’t you?
In those moments, try leaning on the power of music to take a little breather.
Remember the moment your child was born: “Thank you for coming into this world.” “No matter what happens, I’ll protect you.” Those feelings will come back to you.
Try listening together with your child.

No1Imai Miki
Set to a lively rhythm, this is a song by Miki Imai that overflows with love for a child.
It’s included on the album “Moment.” The lyrics don’t have many words, but they’re packed with an abundance of love.
For moms and dads, their child is the most important of all, right? Even when there are moments of anger, that never changes.
When you’re feeling a bit tired, just recalling these lyrics and the upbeat, tropical-tinged melody will make you feel like you can keep going again!
When I was bornAdachi Mitsuru
This is a song by Mitsuru Adachi, a singer known as a “Song Letter Artist” who creates music dedicated to just one person.
It is filled with the preciousness of life and gratitude to the parents who nurtured that life.
The song was composed exclusively for a sex education class at an elementary school in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Over the course of more than nine minutes, it encompasses everything: the journey up to birth, the mother’s life-risking pain at the moment of delivery, and the unceasing love that has flowed from both father and mother ever since.
When children listen, they will feel gratitude toward their parents; when fathers and mothers listen, it will renew their resolve to cherish their children even more.

Listening to this song while looking at your beloved child can make you feel stronger at heart.

Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS
Listening to The Blue Hearts’ songs really lifts your spirits, doesn’t it? You can feel something fiery and soulful in the vocalist’s voice.
The song is a bit stimulating, but it might even be good for expectant mothers to play it for prenatal education.
When you listen to this kind of energetic music, you feel an incredible surge of energy, don’t you?
Mom’s DreamNEW!acane
There are times in parenting when you’re exhausted and out of reserves, aren’t there? That’s exactly when I hope you’ll listen to this work sung by acane.
It’s a ballad that lays bare her real feelings for her three-year-old child, voicing without embellishment the struggle of not being a perfect parent and the profound love to protect one’s child at all costs.
Released in July 2025 as the first step in a continuing series, it traces the path toward a milestone 10th-anniversary solo concert.
It’s a moving song I’d recommend to anyone battling self-loathing or giving their all in raising a child.
To the futureKiroro
Kiroro’s melodies are so gentle they could almost be lullabies for babies.
This song is often used as a graduation song, and it’s one you’ll want to hear again sung by your child once they’ve grown up—but it also resonates deeply with moms and dads in the thick of parenting right now.
Every parent looks forward to their child’s growth.
If you listen to this song and imagine, “What kind of future will this child walk into?” as you raise them, the daily challenges might turn into a little bit of excitement.
storyAI
The English version of this song is known for being used as the ending theme for the Japanese release of the film Big Hero 6.
It’s a piece filled with gratitude for loved ones and the desire to protect them.
Children are incredibly precious to moms and dads, aren’t they? While the movie portrays the bond between brothers, I think many parts of the lyrics also resonate with a parent’s feelings for their child.
It’s a gentle ballad you can listen to even while caring for your kids, so please try listening to it together as a family.
