Dear MamaCOLOR

This is a song from when DEEP was active as COLOR, centered around EXILE’s vocalist ATSUSHI.

The standout feature is ATSUSHI’s solo.

It’s a song of gratitude dedicated to mothers, the kind that would surely move a mom to tears if a son or daughter gifted it to her.

Beyond expressing thanks, the lyrics wish for a mother’s happiness, making it a gift that could be the ultimate way to show filial devotion.

A gem of a song created by Masashi Sada, carrying a moving message.

For Momoe Yamaguchi as well, this piece resonates deeply with her own life.

Its lyrics—written from the perspective of a daughter about to be married, expressing gratitude to her mother—are profoundly touching.

Released in October 1977, the song won numerous awards, including the Japan Record Award, and has continued to be covered and cherished by many artists ever since.

It’s a perfect choice for life’s milestones such as weddings, or events like Mother’s Day, to convey heartfelt thanks to your mom.

Why not let Momoe Yamaguchi’s gentle voice help you express your gratitude openly?

GratitudeHirahara Ayaka

Ayaka Hirahara is a female singer with a wide vocal range and musicality who is highly acclaimed in the industry.

Her deep, powerful vocals born from her exceptional singing ability can move you no matter the song.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Gratitude.” While it’s a piece about appreciation for one’s parents and the people around them, its lyrics are notable not for direct depiction but for expressing something like the laws of human nature.

The melody is nostalgic and calm, making it a good choice for moments when you want to sink into sentiment while remembering late parents.
