[Moving Songs] Classic Tracks Wishing for Children’s Growth ~ A Love Song Dedicated to Our Child ~ (81–90)

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.

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.

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.

“ANAK,” released in 1977 by Filipino singer Freddie Aguilar, became a hit in the Philippines.

Anak is a Tagalog word meaning “my child,” and the lyrics, lamenting a son who has gone down the wrong path, are said to have been written by Aguilar with a feeling of apologizing to his own parents.

It was translated not only in Japan but into more than 20 countries and became a worldwide smash hit.

A parent’s concern for their child is universal, isn’t it?

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.
