Dear you…roodo obu mejyaa
This song may sound like a love song, but it’s actually about expressing gratitude to one’s parents.
Released by Road of Major in 2005, it was used as the ending theme for the TV program “Kiseki no Tobira: TV no Chikara.” The lyrics give thanks for the days filled with parents’ unconditional love and express a wish to pass that happiness on to one’s own child—something that really resonates when you listen during pregnancy.
It can bring back gentle, nostalgic memories you’d forgotten.
If you’re feeling anxious about life after the baby is born, please give it a listen.
If you’ve received love from your parents, you’ll surely be okay.

This is the 2020 commercial song for the NIVEA brand.
The vocalist is Ryoma Inoue of SHE’S, the piano rock band known for songs like “Oikaze” and “Letter.” While it’s not specifically a maternity song, its refreshing yet powerful feel makes it a great recommendation for pregnant women.
I think the lyrics resonate in many ways with the feelings of mothers who, despite various difficulties, are doing their utmost to nurture their child in the womb.
Having someone to protect really does make a person stronger!

The title “Takaramono” (Treasure) refers to his wife and child, conveying a father’s love for his family.
It’s a very bright and warm song, so please give it a listen together as a couple.
