I am a father (Music Video / ON THE ROAD 2005-2007 My First Love)

Even if you can’t be the kind of father you see in movies or novels, there are still fathers who are cool and admirable, covered in sweat and doing their best every single day.

This song conveys that message to everyone who listens.

As a tired, ordinary father, it undeniably captures a real image—and as a piece of music, it also inspires a positive mindset that affirms the repetitive rhythm of daily life.

back number – “Letter” Music Video

When it comes to bands that release many songs whose lyrics vividly convey scenes and emotions and resonate deep in your heart, back number comes to mind.

They put everyday landscapes and the feelings of the moment into words, so I think each song is relatable.

“Tegami” is a song that expresses gratitude to parents who raised you with love.

You might not have realized it as a child or a student, but parents are always thinking about their precious children.

It’s only after you become an adult that you come to appreciate that.

It would be nice to listen to this song while talking with your father about the old days.

Song of ParentsGReeeeN4rank/position

GReeeeN – Song of Beginnings

This song feels like carefully retracing and regretting, one by one, the memories of having saddened one’s parents, all the way back to childhood, and it’s depicted from a child’s perspective in which even the memories of fierce clashes during adolescence, with the passage of time, all turn into gratitude.

It’s a track that brings tears when you listen to it as a parent.

DREAMS COME TRUE – “Like You”

A classic song about fathers by DREAMS COME TRUE, a group that represents J-pop.

Many people may recognize it since it was used in a Kanpo Life Insurance TV commercial.

As the title suggests, if someone said “Like You,” it would probably make any dad so happy he’d cry.

The lyrics are filled with the father’s personality and wonderful qualities, but if you were to sing this song to your own dad, you might make it even more special by changing the lyrics to reflect your father’s personality and the things that make him great!
