The song that has been attracting attention after being featured in an NTT Docomo commercial is Mirai e (To the Future).

It’s a track by singer-songwriter Ayaka.

She’s also a mother of two, and it’s said she wrote this piece based on the feelings she experienced while raising her children.

Because it sings of hope for the future and love for the children who will live in that future, parents in particular may find it especially relatable.

It’s also recommended for those looking for a love song that isn’t about romance.
