These Little Palms (To Shiho-ko)chūrippu
Tulip is a band that has been active since the 1970s.
When member Tatsuya Himeno’s daughter was born, fellow member Kazuo Zaitsu reportedly wrote the lyrics for this song.
It sings of a small life that has descended into one’s own world, a life so precious that one would not hesitate to give up their own for it—the heart of a parent.
Rather than a celebratory mood, it’s a ballad with a calm, even poignant melody that leaves a strong impression.
Birthday Songayaka
“Birthday Song” is a track Ayaka released in April 2015, before giving birth to her first child.
With lyrics that celebrate and rejoice in a child’s birth and Ayaka’s gentle vocals, it’s a lovely piece.
Of course it’s perfect for birthdays, but even on ordinary days, it makes you want to play it for your child with the message, “I love you.”
I love my daughterBREAKERZ
Overflowing with a father’s love for his daughter, “I love my daughter” is a song by BREAKERZ, the three-piece band led by DAIGO, and it served as the theme song for the 2021 TV drama “Miyako Has Come to Kyoto!” In 2021, DAIGO welcomed a daughter, and this song truly conveys his loving feelings for her.
Listening to it, you’ll notice emotions and unconditional love that you might never have known without the birth of your precious child.
I think the feeling of constantly wishing for her happiness will naturally overlap with the song.

MiracleMINMI
This is a song I want future parents to hear.
Its gentle words ease the worries of two people anxious about becoming parents.
It’s a piece that only MINMI—who has actually experienced pregnancy and childbirth—could have created.
It feels as if the baby about to be born is speaking to you.
It’s your birthday, huh.Tōtasu Matsumoto
Tortoise Matsumoto’s “Tanjoubi Yane” gives you power with lyrics that resonate with the soul.
Released in 2011, this is a song I hope parents will sing to celebrate a new chapter for their beloved child.
The sound is fun and simple, and the message that overflows from the lyrics—“Thank you for being born” and “It’s normal for life to have ups and downs, so live joyfully”—is gentle yet empowering, giving strength for the first step of a child setting out on their journey.
SandyFukuyama Masaharu
One of Masaharu Fukuyama’s hidden gems is “Sandy.” Written from a father’s perspective, the lyrics make it seem as if he’s singing about his own life.
When the song was released, he didn’t have children yet and wasn’t married, but he likely wrote it while imagining life with a future child.
Even if you’re not a singer, parents in other professions will probably find a lot to relate to.
Warabe-gami ~Yamatoguchi~Natsukawa Rimi
What Rimi Natsukawa sings with her beautifully clear voice is an Okinawan folk song—one in which parents wish for their child’s healthy growth.
The original was composed by Misako Koja, an Okinawan singer.
In addition to Rimi Natsukawa, the song has been covered by various artists such as Hiroko Shimabukuro from Okinawa and Tokiko Kato of Hana*Hana.
