[Moving Songs] Masterpieces Wishing for Children’s Growth ~Songs of Love Dedicated to Our Children~ (91–100)
Embrace things as they are.Sugiyama Yutaro
Love means nothing unless it’s communicated clearly.
That’s the message of singer Yutaro Sugiyama’s song “Accept Me As I Am.” Once an outstanding child, he later fell into delinquency and even had ties to organized crime for a time.
What helped him turn his life around was a single sentence from his father: “You are my precious son.” Even if you truly love someone, it won’t come across unless you put it into words—and it won’t be conveyed if it’s just a self-satisfied imposition.
The message that what really matters is accepting someone exactly as they are strikes a deep chord.
LullabyHagiwara Kenichi
This is a classic song by Kenichi Hagiwara, known as Shoken, an actor and singer who still has many fans.
In it, he poignantly sings about his feelings for the young child he parted from.
It also drew attention for being used as the ending theme of the 1983 film “Ryuji.” Conveying a certain clumsy kind of love, the song is included on the 1980 album “Don Juan.”

It’ll all work out.Imai Eriko
Eriko Imai, who was active as the lead vocalist of SPEED, a dance and vocal group emblematic of the ’90s.
“Nankurunaisa” is a ballad in which she expresses her feelings for her eldest son, who has a hearing disability.
Nankurunaisa is an Okinawan word meaning “It’s going to be okay.” It carries a powerful message that no matter what disabilities lie ahead, there is nothing a parent and child cannot overcome if they join hands and face them together.
rainbow-coloredayaka
With its warm, comforting melody and powerful vocals, this song gently enfolds a hope-filled moment, as if welcoming the birth of new life.
Released in June 2014 as a single by Ayaka, it was written as the theme song for the NHK drama series Hanako to Anne.
Portraying the story of a life everyone walks, the process of shaping oneself step by step, and hope for the future, the piece—centered on the tender tones of an acoustic guitar—closely resonates with the listener’s heart.
It’s a song that gives a gentle push forward, perfect for moments of new beginnings such as weddings or childbirth, inspiring you to face ahead and walk in your own way.
My son,Fujioka Fujimaki
It’s a song where a father speaks to his son—very profound, humble, and expressing straightforward feelings.
It’s sprinkled with fatherly life advice.
This one is included as a special edition on the album released in 2006.
Birthday Songyuka
This is a song by Yuka, marked by a warm melody that celebrates the precious beginning of life.
The simple piano tones and her clear vocals gently embrace feelings of joy and gratitude.
Born from the desire to celebrate a birthday, the piece has continued to resonate with many since its release in February 2015.
It is included on the album “Tadaima, Okaeri,” and a rearranged version was released in 2022.
It’s a recommended track for families sharing the joys and anxieties of raising children, as well as for expectant moms and dads eagerly awaiting a birth.
Motherkariyushi 58
A heartwarming song whose title means “mother” in the Okinawan dialect.
Released in July 2006 as Kariyushi 58’s debut single, it was initially available only in Okinawa and later issued nationwide.
At the time of their debut, the band was facing the possibility of being dropped by their label after not achieving the results they’d hoped for, but this work straightforwardly sings of gratitude and regret toward one’s mother.
In December 2006, it won the Newcomer Award at the 39th Japan Cable Music Awards—an exceptional feat for an indie artist.
Set to a comfortable melody that blends warm Okinawan music with reggae and rock, it poignantly portrays the parent–child relationship from childhood to adulthood.
It may well make you think of your mother back home and fill you with nostalgia.
