This song is addressed to women—specifically to mothers.
Masaharu Fukuyama, who sings it, sends flowers to his mother every year on his own birthday, and based on that story, the song expresses a child’s feelings toward their parent.
A birthday isn’t just a day to celebrate yourself; it’s also a day to thank the mother who gave birth to you.
Like Masaharu Fukuyama, why not start your birthday by expressing your gratitude to your mother? She’ll surely be delighted! And while you’re at it, don’t forget to say “thank you” to your father as well.
