Family SongHoshino Gen
Set to a heartwarming melody, this masterpiece gently sings about the small joys of everyday life and the connections between people.
Gen Hoshino delicately depicts scenes like morning light and windowsills, as if capturing familiar moments within a family.
Its message—embracing bonds that go beyond blood ties and accepting the diversifying forms of family with warmth—resonates deep within.
Released in August 2017, the song was used as the theme for the Nippon TV drama “Overprotected Kahoko” and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Its distinctive sound, which skillfully incorporates elements of late-1960s to early-1970s soul music, is another draw.
It’s a gem that stays close to the feeling of wishing happiness for someone important to you, so why not listen to it in a quiet moment alone? Its gentle sound may even move you to tears.

Hey, MomKOKONA
A ballad that conveys gratitude to a mother through a gentle melody and warm words.
Kokona’s delicate vocals carefully weave deep affection for the mother who continued to support her unchanged, even through the rebellious years of adolescence.
Soft accompaniment by acoustic guitar and piano tenderly embraces the child’s honest feelings toward her mother.
Included on the EP “Hey, Mom,” released in July 2024, the song moved the hearts of many.
This work embodies Kokona’s feelings for the mother who supported her when she chose the path of music after graduating junior high school, vividly portraying the bond between mother and daughter.
It’s a song we especially hope will reach those who struggle to express their gratitude to the mother who always welcomes them with a smile.

What is something that has remained unchanged from the moment we were born until now? Both we ourselves and the environments around us keep changing little by little.
But the bond between parent and child isn’t something that’s easily severed.
If you find it hard to be honest, how about sending this song?
carnationKasamura Tōta
Tota Kasamura is a musician who is active mainly as a Vocaloid producer.
The song “Carnation” is truly a thank-you song for mothers, and I’m sure you’ll be drawn in by its gentle lyrics and relaxed melody.
No matter how much you love someone, little misunderstandings happen when you live together, and when those moments are written into the lyrics, you can’t help but see yourself reflected in them.
That’s the charm of this song—and of Kasamura himself.
I think it would be wonderful to sing this to your mom on Mother’s Day.
By the way, the 2021 album “How to Become a Wonderful Adult” is a full 17-track release, and every song puts into words the delicate feelings we all waver between—an all-out burst of Tota’s world.
Even if you’re short on time, I really hope you’ll give it a listen!
