[Lullabies] Recommended for putting children to sleep! Songs that lull babies to sleep
A “lullaby” is a song sung when putting a child to bed or soothing them.
It’s also called a yōranka, and is characterized by a calm melody with a gentle, unhurried feel.

They may get fussy even when they’re drowsy and can’t quite fall asleep, or finally nod off only to wake up again right away…
In this article, we introduce songs perfect for bedtime, including Japanese lullabies and classical pieces.
Please try to find lullabies that will help your child relax.
