Kobukuro “Baton” Image Movie

This is a gentle song about life by Kobukuro that we hope not only moms and dads who are doing their best right now, but also those whose child-rearing has settled down—and really everyone—will listen to.

The newborn baby, the dad, and the mom are all alive here and now thanks to the baton of life that has been passed down from long ago.

That baton bears many layers of history, and it will continue to be handed on to the next generation, and the next after that, adding to its story as it goes.

Moms and dads who are in the midst of giving it their all right now may find themselves able to face the life before them with renewed gentleness.
