To be a motherAbe Mao
Abe Mao’s song “To Be a Mother” is a ballad filled with a mother’s feelings for her child.
If you grow up healthy, that’s all I could ever want; if you just keep smiling… Hearing lyrics like that brings me to tears.
It truly is unconditional love.
Speaking as a parent myself, that’s exactly how it feels.
It may be a bit overbearing from a child’s perspective (laughs), but you are more important than anything.
If my own child sang me this song, I think I’d be so moved I’d cry…

It was the theme song for the 2001 animated Crayon Shin-chan feature film, “Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back.” As the title suggests, without any twists, it’s a song filled with gratitude dedicated to mothers.
It expresses thanks while looking back on childhood memories of all the things one’s mother did—this and that—reminiscing and conveying appreciation.

MomUemura Kana
She once had a strained relationship with her mother, but now she feels grateful and wants to express it.
This song is perfect for a woman like that.
There’s so much between mothers and daughters, isn’t there? Because they’re the same gender, many women were treated more strictly and spent years feeling, “Why am I the only one being scolded this much?” But when you become a parent yourself, you realize, “My mom is my mom, but before that, she’s a human being.” For all the times we rebelled and caused trouble, we want to send this song with all the love we have.
Dear Mama feat Oda KazumasaLGYankees
Addressing his mother with the second-person term “kaachan” serves as a factor that conveys his blunt straightforwardness, which is interesting.
His own flow—marked by a gruff, shouted tone—and Oda’s clear, transparent vocals in the chorus come together in a miraculous fusion.
To MotherHanzaki Yoshiko
This is a song I’d love to give on Mother’s Day.
Yoshiko Hanzaki’s “To Mother” portrays a mother who has always put her family first.
Even though dual-income households are the norm today, there are still many families where mothers carry a heavy burden.
Mothers tend to push themselves to the limit.
They’re always smiling because they hide so many things behind that smile.
But there’s no need to apologize—just hearing “thank you for everything” will surely make it all worthwhile.
It’s a moving number, gently sung over a piano accompaniment.
mother landCrystal Kay
A heartwarming song filled with love for a mother.
Set to a gentle melody, it sings of gratitude to a mother and the bittersweetness of parting.
Released in May 2004 as Crystal Kay’s 14th single, it was also chosen as an ending theme for the popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
It drew attention as Crystal Kay’s first ballad sung entirely in Japanese.
Perfect for special days when you want to express your feelings to family—like Mother’s Day or a wedding.
