This song paints a warm portrait of family bonds, spun from a single photograph filled with childhood memories.

Told from a child’s perspective, each everyday scene—like the joy of a new bicycle or tear stains on a park bench—brims with memories anyone can relate to.

While it poignantly conveys the absence of the father behind the camera, it never dwells in sorrow; instead, Yoshida Yamada gently sing a world suffused with warmth.

Released in October 2024, the piece was also chosen as the theme song for RKK Kumamoto Broadcasting’s “Evening Live Getsukin!”, resonating with many through its heartwarming acoustic sound.

On nights when you come home tired from work, listening as you look through family photos will likely stir fond memories and renew your strength for tomorrow.

Let’s hug as tight as we canmamakanon

[PV] Let's Hug with All Our Might — An Anthem for Busy Moms —

I think many mothers hear their child say, “Mommy, pick me up,” every day.

This song is about why children beg their moms to hold them.

It overflows with a child’s love—“I love you, Mommy!”—and listening to it might make you want to hug your child even when you’re busy.

For a child, Mom is the safest, most comforting place.

It’s easy to put it off when we’re busy, but we want to hold them tight as much as we can, don’t we?

Mother

A story of a mother’s love and joy that begins with a translucent morning light and a sky of pale blue.

Its sweeping melodies and beautiful scenes, reflecting a range of emotions, deepen the sense of connection with a child.

Featured on the album “Mother,” released in July 2010, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Albums Chart.

Written and composed by MINMI herself, the song conveys feelings she came to understand only after becoming a mother.

Created during her second pregnancy, it expresses the happiness and anxiety of a mother expecting a new life, as well as profound love for her child.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Beautiful Flower (Full ver.)

A gem-like ballad by Masaharu Fukuyama that gently sings of love for children and prayers for the future.

It portrays the preciousness of life and the depth of love passed from parent to child, wrapped in warm melodies.

Released as a single in May 2006, it gained attention as a tie-in song for Panasonic’s digital video camera and was also included on the album “5 Nen Mono.” The clear tones of the acoustic guitar and Fukuyama’s warm vocals will further illuminate the joy of families welcoming a new life.

It’s a song we wholeheartedly recommend to couples awaiting childbirth and to families watching over their children’s growth.

To tell the truth,masakimochi

"A Song I Want You to Listen to When Parenting Feels Hard" — The Truth Is,

A song about parenting from newborn days through the rebellious phase, “Honto wa ne” (“To Tell the Truth”), was created by music creator Masakimochi, who focuses on songs about family.

It’s said to be based on the experiences of someone named Myu, and, you know, families often can’t quite say what they truly feel to each other.

This song captures that feeling so well that it really resonates.

The MV, with its simple, charming illustrations, adds a lovely touch.

It’s a track I hope you’ll listen to when you’re feeling emotionally cornered.
