[Childcare Song] A Song Dedicated to Moms & Dads Working Hard at Parenting (41–50)
Mama’s SongKokoroya Jinnosuke
I think this song will lighten the hearts of mothers everywhere.
As a woman, a wife, a mother—aren’t you pushing yourself a bit too hard? Between the household, childcare, and your own needs, it’s honestly impossible to keep up with everything.
I feel many women end up trying harder than they need to.
This song gently tells those of you who are doing your best, “It’s okay not to push yourself.” It doesn’t have to be ideal—you are precious and needed just as you are.
That’s what it feels like this song is saying when I listen to it.

I love you, Mom.Yuko Eto
Yuko Eto, a singer from Kyoto, not only pursues her music career but also runs music classes for children starting from infancy.
She is also involved in the “I Love You, Mom Project,” which supports parenting, and this song, “I Love You, Mom,” was created as the project’s original piece.
A baby can only express “I love you” by crying.
When you feel worn out from parenting, please give this song a listen.

A song I want people who are doing their best with parenting—even when it doesn’t go as planned—to listen to is “Thank You for Being Born.” It was created in 2021 by Fuko, a musician who is also active as a radio personality.
The track has gained popularity on TikTok, so some of you may already know it.
Gentle piano sounds wrap around feelings of anxiety and irritation.
It’s a moving message song that reminds you of the moment your precious child was born.
Experience its warm sound that relaxes a heart tired from parenting.
BatonKobukuro
It’s a song that runs over six minutes, yet one I want to keep listening to.
Kobukuro gently narrates the baton of life—someone’s life born from a mother and father, and that life someday becoming the source of someone else’s, passed on and on.
When I think about the weight of the baton carried through such hardship, it feels like I can overcome whatever difficulties lie ahead.
Thank youOhashi Takuya
“Arigatou” is a song sung solo by Takuya Ohashi, the vocalist of Sukima Switch.
It straightforwardly expresses the gratitude of a son who left his hometown to chase his dreams toward his parents.
The unadorned words that show his concern and compassion for them really resonate with the heart.
single motherSA.RI.NA
This is “Single Mother,” the 2010 major-label debut single by singer-songwriter SA.RI.NA.
It had been one of her signature songs since her indie days, and for her debut it was re-recorded while she was pregnant.
The song, which parallels a child’s growth with a mother’s growth, can be seen as an anthem not only for single mothers but for all mothers.
Mother’s SongYoshida Yamada
As children grow up, they inevitably find it hard to be straightforward with their parents.
Even so, the steady love their parents show conveys what truly matters to them.
Yoshida Yamada’s song “Mother’s Song” teaches us that.
