Its refreshing yet powerful sound, centered on acoustic guitar, resonates directly with listeners.
Created by Kentaro Kobuchi, who drew inspiration from tracing the story of his own life and sensing the relay of life inherited from those who came before, the piece is also recommended for listening while speaking to a baby in the womb.

Into a life that used to be lived alone or just with a husband, an angel-like baby arrives and becomes the light for the mother, the father, and the family.
That’s what a baby is, isn’t it? With that precious baby in your life, the way your future becomes more colorful feels as if more and more lights are shining on your life.

There will be times when everything feels uncertain and tears just flow.
Yet once you overcome that, a precious life will be born—one that will call you “Mama.” May listening to this song help you spend your days with a calm heart until the day your baby is born.
