Hannya / Family Precepts / Official Music Video

It’s a warm song whose unadorned, sincere words convey straight from the heart both a parent’s love for their child and their sense of responsibility.

It’s included on Hannya’s tenth album, Hanashihanbun, released in April 2018.

Drawing on his own experience of being separated from his father at the age of two, he pours into the track both the love he couldn’t receive from his parent and his aching wish to be sure to pass that love on to his own child.

Set over a bittersweet yet beautiful beat, the earnest delivery lays bare the honest feelings of a single parent.

Performed as part of his solo show at the Nippon Budokan, this work holds a special place in his career.

If you want to revisit the emotions you felt when you first held your child in your arms, or if you’re giving your all to raising your kids day by day, give it a listen.

This is a song that stands with and supports everyone who watches over and continues to back their children devoted to sports.

Beagle Crew’s track carries the message that not only the shining athletes, but also the families who sweat outside the field—dealing with muddy pick-ups and drop-offs or weekends thrown off by rain forecasts—are protagonists too.

Released in December 2022, it’s included on the album “Private Box 2” as well as the best-of compilation “YELL SONG SUPER BEST.” Its roots in being loved at local venues like real baseball clinics are also compelling.

For those accompanying weekend practices, it will surely strike a deep chord.

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.

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.

Hikaru Utada “Anata” (Short Version)

“Anata,” said to be a song in which Hikaru Utada sings about her child.

It can be taken as a piece about protecting one’s child no matter what, and about how one’s world cannot exist without that child.

While it can also sound like an intense love song, if you listen to it as a song from a parent to their child, you can feel the strength of a mother’s resolve.

It also seems to carry the wish that the child will simply grow up safely.
