Shadow TagHitoto Yo
This is Yo Hitoto’s sixth single, “Kagefumi,” released in 2005.
When you think of Yo Hitoto, “Hanamizuki” often comes to mind, but she has many songs that resonate deeply with the heart, and this one is also a profoundly moving track.
It reminds me of myself when I was little, or when I felt unsettled and clashed with my parents.
It’s a song that makes me reflect—wishing I had done things differently—and inspires me to be kinder to others in the life ahead.
Thank youOhashi Takuya
This is a solo song by Takuya Ohashi from Sukima Switch, and it’s his second single.
It was used as the Mother’s Day Flower Cupid collaboration campaign song, and it’s perfect for expressing gratitude to one’s parents.
Ohashi actually dedicated this song to his own parents, and it conveys straightforward feelings that are hard to say out loud in everyday life.
It’s a track that’s sure to bring tears to your eyes.
Untitled TodayHirai Dai
The song that makes me realize how precious the days we spend without thinking are is “Titleless Today.” It was released in 2021 by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, whose grand, expansive sound heals listeners’ hearts.
The track evokes bright, breezy scenery, with a genre-defying charm and a gentle, floating melody that resonates.
Many will find courage in his vocals, which are filled with both kindness and strength.
If you’re looking for a song to gift to family members who are always working hard at school or at their jobs, be sure to give it a listen.

Dog’s Song ~Thank You~ASIA ENGINEER
There are many people for whom “family” doesn’t mean just humans.
If you live with a dog, a cat, or any other non-human life, this song will probably bring you to tears.
Asia Engineer’s song “Inu no Uta ~Arigatou~ (Dog’s Song ~Thank You~)” is dedicated to a beloved dog that has gone to heaven, and it’s a tearjerker right from the start.
Even with the precious family members who are healthy and with us now, the day will come when we must part.
Holding that thought close, this song makes you want to shower them with love right now and feel grateful for the happy life you share.
FamiliaKetsumeishi
“Familia” is the first single released by Ketsumeishi in 2001.
The nagging that parents do is nothing but annoying to kids, right? But when you grow up, you realize they were saying those things out of concern for you.
It’s often at the very moment you become an adult that you find yourself newly grateful to your parents.
Sakura Clear SkiesYuuri
Yuri, the singer-songwriter whose voice alone can make your heart tighten.
Thanks to hits like “Kakurenbo” and “Dry Flower,” he has a strong image as a love song artist, but this song feels filled with a broad, expansive love—a love for family.
The cherry blossom season is warm and cheerful, yet for some reason a sudden wave of poignancy can well up.
This track fits that feeling perfectly, and I think it will deeply resonate with those living away from their hometowns or families.
It’s a number that brings to mind and gives thanks for family members who have passed away.
