Even as she becomes a mature woman with striking beauty and a captivating voice, when she writes about her mother she finds the joy of returning to being a “girl” who can’t hold her head high before her.
In the choice of words that lets us sense those feelings, and in the readings of letters from her mother inserted along the way, one can discern a quiet, dignified respect and love for her.

This song, which tells of a mother who travels up to Tokyo to see her daughter and of the daughter’s bright, buoyant feelings as she leads her mother by the hand, inserts in the second verse a lament for a brother lost to war.
In the third verse it returns to scenes of enjoying sightseeing at Sensō-ji in Asakusa, giving us a chance to savor the preciousness of being able to meet one’s mother.

MOTHERTameoka Sonomi
The rich, full-bodied vocals convey a deeply weighty message.
It’s perfect not only as a song dedicated to one’s mother, but also as background music when giving a gift while expressing your gratitude in your own words.
I’ve heard the lyrics even include episodes from childhood.
The reason I was bornTakahashi Yuu
Singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi, known for his many warm, heartfelt songs.
His track “Umareta Riyū” (“The Reason I Was Born”) captivates with pure lyrics dedicated to his parents.
By using the kanji 産まれた in the title instead of the more general 生まれた, the song conveys a moving message of gratitude to the mother who gave birth to him and the father who watched over them both.
Takahashi’s gentle voice also conveys a tangible sense of family warmth.
MAMAARARE
A declaration of gratitude, reflection, and resolve written from the perspective of a son who has caused his mother a lot of trouble.
As if speaking for self-proclaimed “foolish sons” across the country, the unadorned, straight-from-the-heart words read like a hastily scrawled love letter to his mother, penned in a single night.
