LullabyYoru Fōjā (CV: Hayami Saori)33rank/position

Lullaby

The lullaby sung by Yor Forger, a character from the anime “SPY×FAMILY,” which is hugely popular with children, appears in the story when Yor gently sings to a fainted Loid, prompting him to hazily recall memories from long ago.

The lyrics are very short, but they’re filled with affection.

And after the song ends, gentle music continues, lulling one to sleep.

Isn’t it the kind of lullaby that makes anyone feel nostalgic? Your children are sure to drift off to sleep accompanied by the soothing melody.

Music Box - Clair de Lune - Debussy

Among the approachable pieces of the Suite bergamasque, the third movement, Clair de Lune, is the most famous of Debussy’s works and is notable for how often it is performed on its own.

It’s also recommended listening before sleep, letting the gentle light of the moon floating in the night illuminate your rest.

Lullaby of the Silk Tree by Michiyo Yokouchi

The song “Nemunoki no Komoriuta” (Lullaby of the Silk Tree) is a poem written by Empress Michiko, consort of the 125th Emperor, during her time at Sacred Heart School for Girls High School, to which composer Masami Yamamoto later set music.

In 1966, actress Sayuri Yoshinaga sang it and it was released as a record.

There is a small park in Tokyo called “Nemunoki no Niwa” (Silk Tree Garden), located down a side street off Sakurada-dori on National Route 1.

This park stands on the site of Her Majesty the Empress’s former family home, and it takes its name from this work.
