This is a collaboration song by EXILE’s ATSUSHI and AI, who was pregnant at the time.
The theme is “life.” I think it’s a perfect song for women who are currently nurturing their child in the womb.

A warm number that chay created for the married couple, voice actress Tomoko Kaneda and actor Wataru Mori.
The “three” in the title refers to Tomoko Kaneda, Wataru Mori, and their daughter, Chiemi, who was born to the two of them.
The lyrics, based on heartwarming episodes of these three, will undoubtedly resonate not only with them but with many couples blessed with a baby.
A mom who feels anxious during pregnancy and after childbirth, and a dad who supports her.
And the little one who brings countless smiles to the two who became parents.
