Song of the Lunchbox — A Letter to YouHanzaki Yoshiko
Yoshiko Hanzaki’s “Obentobako no Uta ~A Letter to You~” is a song that warmly shines on families striving through child-rearing.
Entrusting the often-overlooked bonds and love between parent and child—lost amid the busyness of daily life—to the small everyday item of a lunchbox, it portrays them in heartwarming words.
The lunchbox lovingly prepared each hectic morning, even when you feel tempted to cut corners, is like a letter filled with a parent’s feelings for their child.
Listening to this song can ease the fatigue of parenting and empower all moms and dads working hard to raise their kids.
Sharing it with your child can become a valuable moment that deepens parent–child communication.
Dacco Marchmomona oneesan
Using the melody everyone knows from Mozart’s Turkish March, we turned it into a funny parody song called “The Hug March.” It portrays the back-and-forth during a parent-and-child shopping trip.
Little kids demand to be carried during grown-ups’ shopping: “I’m tired, I can’t walk, carry me.” Meanwhile, Mom and Dad are loaded down with bags and completely exhausted.
“Carry me!” “Walk on your own!”—the tug-of-war goes on.
We wrapped that scene in humorous, unique lyrics and made it a cheerful tune.
It’s a fun number that will make both those currently raising kids and those who’ve finished raising theirs nod in recognition.
I love you so much.Mizutani Yuu
This is Yuu Mizutani’s debut single “Ippai Daisuki” from 2011, when she was 11 years old.
The song expresses gratitude to her mother.
There’s a saying that children choose whose home they are born into, and the opening lyrics of this song sing exactly about that.
A mother she wished for and has always loved.
If you’re feeling frustrated or down because of your child, please give it a listen.
I’m sure it will help you feel confident and keep going.

With an easy, catchy rhythm, it’s the kind of tune that will have both adults and kids clapping along.

Because you are hereUru
This is a song written for the 2020 TV drama “Theseus no Fune” (Theseus’s Ship).
In the music video, the relationship between a mother and daughter is depicted.

Who that “precious person” is will differ for each listener, but when parent–child relationships aren’t going well or when parenting feels difficult, listening to this song might make you think, “Let me try to say it first.”

It will surely fill you with energy for tomorrow.
