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!

This song expresses the warm prayers of parents who pour unconditional love into their precious children, even as they struggle with not being able to show their affection as ideally as they’d like or to handle things smoothly.
