To youShonan no Kaze
It’s a song in which Shonan no Kaze powerfully sings a message of encouragement from parent to child.
The blend of gentle sounds and powerful vocals conveys a resolve to move forward and gives a comforting push from behind.
It portrays the broad figure of a parent who empathizes with their child’s shifting emotions and supports them in various ways.
More than just depicting parents encouraging their children, it’s a song that seems to empower anyone facing obstacles.
The animation for NHK’s “Minna no Uta” is another highlight, uniquely depicting the strong father figure embodied in the song through the muscles he wears like a garment.
BatonKobukuro
A baton passed from life to life… this song lets you feel that connection.
When your own child is born, you become a parent.
At that moment, you may realize just how much you yourself have been blessed and cherished.
I hope parents and children will listen to this song together.
It portrays the warmth and resolve flowing from parent to child—parents will rediscover their love, and children will feel that love and surely find the courage to move forward.
4.11Kawasaki Takaya
Could it be that the motif running through all the songs by Reiwa-era singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki is “gratitude”? The track “4.11,” pre-released from Kawasaki’s third album, “Nukumori” (Warmth), has become a talking point for being a song he wrote solely for his own child.
The photos and videos used in the music video are also from Kawasaki’s private collection.
If you feel a bit shy about saying “thank you” to your grown-up child, let this song be your chance.
A highly recommended track that pairs gratitude with a touch of tears.
StoryAI
The song “Story” by Japanese singer-songwriter AI portrays the importance of weaving one’s own “story” while overcoming life’s difficulties.
AI’s warm voice and heartfelt lyrics give listeners courage and hope.
Especially in today’s world, where loneliness is common, “Story” reminds us of the value of human connection and teaches the importance of supporting one another.
While receiving AI’s powerful yet gentle message, why not take a moment to reaffirm your feelings for your precious child?
Dear sunshine—my precious youHirahara Ayaka
A song that was also chosen as the theme for a morning drama series.
Despite its simple melody, the lyrics depicting the bond with a loved one are moving.
If you relate this song to a parent and child, it feels as if a mother is speaking to her child.
Rather than talking to a newborn, it seems more like she’s addressing a child who has left the nest and moved away.
You Were Born to Be Loved ※with KREVA, SEIJI KAMEDAIshikawa Sayuri
This is a charity song powerfully sung by Sayuri Ishikawa, imbued with the wish for children to live healthy, happy lives.
A key point is the collaboration between Seiji Kameda and KREVA; the sight of musicians from different genres joining forces evokes images of global connection and peace.
The gentle sound with striking piano and the tender yet strong vocals overlap to clearly convey a firm resolve to support children.
The song pours deep love into the very fact that children were born, and it carries a profound hope for a world where children are loved straightforwardly and unconditionally.

This is a song about parents and children that was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “Kounodori,” which portrays the human stories of obstetrics and gynecology.
Listening to this song reminds me that conceiving a child and being born into this world is never something to be taken for granted—it’s a miracle.
It’s a love song imbued with a vow of love: a mother stakes her life to give birth, and then walks through life together with her precious newborn child.
