For the mom who’s always by your side, it delivers the feelings you’re too shy to say—like “thank you”—on your behalf.
Released as a digital single in May 2020 and included on the album Q.E.D, the track is also known for originating from the radio show SCHOOL OF LOCK!’s Parent-Child Bond Project.
Because it’s based on listeners’ real voices, its unadorned words resonate all the more.

Here is a soothing track by the pop-rock band wacci, who celebrated the 10th anniversary of their major-label debut in 2022: “Hanataba ni Shite” (“Turn It Into a Bouquet”).
As vocalist Hashiguchi says, it’s “a song like a ‘bouquet’ that lets you gift your gratitude to someone important who’s been by your side for a long time,” and it’s filled with heartfelt thanks to his mother.
Every lyric that says “I want to turn my gratitude into a bouquet and give it to you” feels like a piece of finely crafted copywriting.

It’s perfect to watch together with your mom.
