Just reading the lyrics brings tears to my eyes.
Moms may look strong, but everyone shares the same worries and goes through tough times.
If a child is two, that means the mom has only been a mom for two years, too.
You can’t expect everything to go perfectly.
It feels like this song washes away the frustration.
It will probably make you want to say “thank you” to your own mother.

It’s a smile-through-tears song filled with many “thank you”s for mothers, and I hope mothers all across Japan will listen to it.
