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 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…

Released in March 2004, the track was also featured in a commercial for KOSÉ’s cosmetics brand VISÉE.

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.
