This heartwarming song by BERRY GOODMAN conveys boundless gratitude and love for mothers over a warm melody.
Born as a song to give on Mother’s Day, it’s included on the album “Spring Spring Spring.” It vividly portrays everyday moments—like a mother who works from early morning until late at night without a single complaint, always devoted to her family, and who treats you to home-cooked meals when you return home.
Since its release in March 2017, it has also been embraced in the sports world, used as the walk-up song for Ryō Ishikawa of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.
It’s a wonderful track to give as a Mother’s Day present, overflowing with gratitude, or any time you want to express how much your mother means to you.
I’m sorry, Mom.YU-A
This song, which expresses the feelings toward a mother who never abandoned me even when I was wild and selfish, overflows with a bittersweetness and deep love that good kids—those who were cherished by their parents and walked a straight path—might not understand.
It’s a track I hope mothers struggling with a child in the thick of their rebellious phase will also listen to.

Many of you have probably heard this song as the theme for the drama “Ship of Theseus.” The singer is Uru, a much-talked-about artist in recent years.
She first drew attention on YouTube, where she uploaded cover videos of various songs.
Her appeal lies in her clear, beautiful voice.
While the lyrics can be interpreted as a love song, they can also be seen as expressing a mother’s love and compassion.
It’s a song you’d want to dedicate with gratitude for all the care you’ve received so far, along with the desire to give back from now on.

The second single by Kiroro, a two-woman unit from Okinawa.
Many people have probably sung this song in school classes or at choral competitions in middle and high school.
For that reason, it’s also known as a graduation song.
At the same time, since member Chiharu Tamashiro wrote it as a letter to her mother when she was in her third year of junior high school, it’s also recommended as a song of gratitude to mothers.
Everyone has probably rebelled against their mother at least once and later regretted it as an adult.
It might be nice to give this song to your mom for Mother’s Day in May!
