JUJU 'So That It Overflows with Kindness'

This is a hit song by JUJU that was featured in a TV commercial.

For parents, children are irreplaceable; it’s a classic that conveys the unconditional love from parent to child, overflowing with tenderness.

The Flower That Bloomed in the Desert – Kicell

The song I recommend when you want to express feelings you don’t usually put into words to your precious child is “A Flower Bloomed in the Desert,” sung by YUKI.

YUKI is a mother of two and has been active as the vocalist of JUDY AND MARY as well as in her solo career.

This song, which evokes a gentle flow of time, conveys through its lyrics not a clingy kind of love, but a light touch that still communicates a deep, enduring “I will always love you.” By the time you reach the end, you’ll find your deep love for your child overlapping with the song.
