A lovely family song

Thank you as always. Songs I want to give on Mother’s Day. Recommended gratitude songs.

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?

She’s sure to be delighted!

It’s filled with a mother’s love and thankfulness for that love.

It’s a wonderful piece that overflows with the mutual love shared between a mother and her daughter.

This work is an unusual collaboration between a hip-hop unit and a leading figure in the new music scene.

By having two veterans—whose careers and styles differ—sing across generations about their feelings for their mothers, it highlights how the magnitude of a mother’s presence is a universal theme for humankind.

It’s a song that expresses gratitude for a mother’s deep love and feelings—realized only after leaving the town where one grew up.

Despite its pop sound, the delicate lyrics deeply resonate.

The 15th single by Ulfuls, a rock band from Osaka known for energizing people of all ages.

Thanks to its light, upbeat sound, it has been used in many commercials, including Glico’s “Pocky Saka Koi Monogatari” and Asahi’s “Clear Asahi Prime Rich.” It’s a message song from a son to his “cute person” = his mother.

He’s a good-for-nothing son who causes trouble, but he asks her to watch over him and cheer him on—an irresistible, heartwarming classic.

The girls’ band Chatmonchy covered it on “Ulfuls Tribute,” which is also highly recommended!
