Toshihide Baba “Training Wheels on the Right and Left”

‘Training Wheels on the Right and Left,’ sung by Toshihide Baba, likens parents who stay close to their child’s growth to the training wheels on a bicycle.

It was included on the 2011 album HEARTBEAT RUSH.

Written from a parent’s perspective, the gentle, conversational lyrics are filled with love for a child.

The piano-led intro creates a warm atmosphere, and together with the lyrics, it brings a sense of calm when you listen.

To a child, parents might sometimes feel overbearing—always scolding or nitpicking—but like the ‘training wheels on the right and left,’ they’re always watching over you.

It may feel a bit embarrassing, but just saying “thank you” will surely make them happy.
