WowMakihara Noriyuki
There are so many things babies can do that make you want to say “Wow!” This song by Noriyuki Makihara is packed with all the happiness contained in those “wows.” It was originally included on the album “Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari” and was later released as a single.
Before a baby is born, moms and dads overflow with hopes—wanting to do this and go there together.
But once the baby arrives, those wishes shift into a feeling that just having the baby alive and here is more than enough.
The song portrays how, in the truest sense, both mom and dad become parents emotionally as well.

Setsunai Mono by CHARA was chosen as the theme song for the NHK drama The Transparent Cradle.
It’s a track that perfectly matches the stories of life and death unfolding in an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, and there’s no doubt it will move you to tears when enjoyed alongside the drama.
Though short, it’s a true gem that leaves a strong impression.

A gentle singing voice flows along with a music box melody.
This song, created by a unit called Low qualitiez, is a primer for dads that lets you grasp knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth in just six minutes.
It clearly explains not only early pregnancy symptoms, but also how mom is feeling at the time and how dad can support her.

Its moving lyrics, which trace a story from falling in love to getting married and welcoming a child, are deeply touching.
The song reminds us that the present moment exists thanks to overcoming many challenges.
Be sure to listen to this piano ballad brimming with blessings and gratitude for a baby.
TummyRADWIMPS
A fresh track with lyrics written from a father’s perspective to the baby in the womb.
It’s unique that it begins as a kind of declaration of war to his beloved child who’s about to be born from the woman he loves so dearly.
But as you listen on, you feel both his deep affection for his partner and a pure, everlasting love for the baby.
It’s a grand-scale love song that brings happiness with its vow of unwavering love to a partner—who so easily becomes just “Dad and Mom” once a child arrives—affirming that nothing has changed.
Only the number of starsMayumiinu
It was also used as the commercial song for Unicharm’s “Moony.” The gently flowing sound brings a very happy feeling.
I can picture a mother softly singing it to her baby who’s about to be born.
And surely that song is reaching the baby in her womb.
Singing such a heartwarming song and imagining the day you’ll meet your baby fills you with joy, doesn’t it?
Dear sunshine—my precious youHirahara Ayaka
It’s a magnificent song overflowing with deep, earth-like maternal love and unconditional affection.
Just following the lyrics with my eyes brings me to tears.
Listening to this piece, you can feel a mother’s instinct to protect the precious life that has been born, even at the cost of her own.
I’m sure every woman who has been blessed with a child will feel calm and see her worries melt away when she hears this… it’s that kind of song.
