Huwie Ishizaki – Maternal and Child Health Handbook (Lyric Video)

Did you know that Hyui Ishizaki’s name is actually his real name? Apparently, his mother, who was a fan of Ittetsu Hoshi from “Star of the Giants” and David Bowie, is the one who named him.

Now, “Mother and Child Health Handbook” is a track included on the 2014 mini-album “That’s Why I Don’t Like Carnations.” The lyrics, which revisit memories with his mother, are something just about anyone can relate to.

In May, the month of Mother’s Day, why not draw courage from this song and express the gratitude you don’t usually say?

the paddles – Carnation (Official Video)

A feel-good Mother’s Day song by the three-piece band the paddles from Neyagawa, Osaka.

The combination of a gentle, mellow melody with lyrics expressing gratitude to one’s mother is classic, but when you listen to the paddles’ track “Carnation,” you’ll find yourself thinking, “Rock for Mother’s Day is awesome!” It’s a song that honestly pours out everyday feelings—like, “I can’t be as openly affectionate as when I was a kid, but Mom, thank you for everything.” It’s easy to see why a new generation of listeners supports it.

It’s included on their second mini-album, THE ERA, so give it a listen if you get the chance.

Thanks.RSP
