motheraobouzu
Formed in 1999, the four-piece rock band Aobozu expresses gratitude to mothers in their song “Mother.” The song portrays parental love from a different perspective: the lyrics are sung as if the father, the narrator, is speaking to his son about the mother, who is his wife.
The feelings a parent has toward their child mirror the complex love that one’s own parents once showed them, suggesting that love is not only about beauty.
Although the lyrics carry a philosophical tone, the song ends with warm words: the mother will smile at you.

The classic song “MOTHER,” written with moving words of gratitude to one’s mother.

If you’re a mom, you won’t be able to listen without tears! The straightforward thanks to one’s mother and the resolve to be filial from here on out make it perfect for surprising your mom by suddenly singing it at karaoke.
You’ll need to practice the rap, but the chorus—where you most want to pour your heart into it—is easy to sing!
MamaNishino Kana
When it comes to singers who win empathy with love songs and lyrics from a woman’s perspective and are popular among women from their teens to their thirties, Kana Nishino comes to mind.
Her song “Mama” is a very Kana Nishino-like, warm song dedicated to mothers.
The lyrics, which express a daughter’s gratitude to her mother, overflow with kindness.
The mother seen through the daughter’s eyes is gentler and braver than anyone, and the daughter’s admiration—wanting to be like her mom someday—gives us listeners a meaningful realization as well.
Letter ~A Letter of Sound for Mom~G2
Speaking of songs that express gratitude to mothers with reggae’s addictive steady rhythm, it has to be G2’s “~A Sound Letter to Mom~.” Released in 2007, this track was very popular among reggae fans at the time, and some people may have fallen in love with reggae because of “~A Sound Letter to Mom~.” As the lyrics mention, the homemade bento your mom wakes up early to prepare is something you only realize is amazing once you become an adult.
It’s a heartwarming song that feels like a letter addressed to one’s mother.

Asuka Hayashi, a singer-songwriter known for her gentle voice, sings “Mother,” a song whose lyrics convey gratitude for being brought into the world.

Listening to this song makes you want to cherish the presence of a mother who welcomes you with a smile and a warm heart, even in times of hardship and sadness.
