Mother’s Day, which falls on the second Sunday of May, is a day to express gratitude to our beloved mothers.
In this article, we introduce “songs of thanks” that can help you convey your appreciation to your mom on Mother’s Day.
A mother’s presence—someone who always accepts you with kindness no matter what—means so much to a child.
Even as adults, many of us probably still feel, “I just can’t compete with my mom!”
Why not send the “thank you” that’s hard to say face-to-face, together with carnations, on Mother’s Day?

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.
Hymn to MotherMetis
A song that recounts the real half-life of singer METIS, revealing a childhood shaped by sensing the hardships of a hard-working mother.
Carried by a relaxed, reggae-style rhythm, her powerful vocals overflow with gratitude to her mother battling cancer and with hope for tomorrow.

It’s included on Ayaka’s 4th album, “Rainbow Road.” It was used as the campaign song for Nestlé’s KitKat and as the commercial song for Choya Umeshu’s “Choya Natsuume.” Since the lyrics express gratitude to one’s parents, it’s a song often used at weddings.

The song was issued as a lead single from their third album, “Shio, Kosho,” and was used as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “ROOKIES: Graduation.” It’s a moving song that inspires you to keep doing your best even when apart, without forgetting what your parents taught you and with a feeling of gratitude.
Angelazu
This song is written like unvarnished words jotted down in a diary, capturing the true feelings of a contrary daughter who, because the relationship is so close, finds it hard to honestly express her gratitude.
With a beautiful mix of falsetto, she pours her heart out, singing of emotions that overflow beyond what the five letters of “arigato” can convey.
