The Toilet GodUemura Kana1rank/position

Toilet God / Kana Uemura

A grand storytelling song that those who were doted on by their grandmothers can’t listen to without tears.

It’s a candid piece in which Kana Uemura lays bare a true story about her beloved grandmother, and every time you listen, you’re filled with gratitude for your family.

Released as a single in November 2010, it was also performed at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Originally included on the mini-album “Watashi no Kakeratachi,” it was later cut as a single due to an overwhelming response on the radio.

The grandmother’s teaching—“Since a goddess is watching, let’s keep everything tidy every day”—comes to mind each time you clean and helps bring peace to your heart.

It’s a masterpiece you should listen to closely when the busyness of life makes you feel like you’re forgetting the people who matter most.

My Favorite Songs / Kana Uemura

This is singer-songwriter Kana Uemura’s 11th single.

The track was produced by Seiji Kameda.

As she herself has said, the song expresses her gratitude to her fans and her resolve for the future.

The lyrics are striking for how closely they depict how she has engaged with singing up to now and what she was thinking at those times.

It’s a song that makes you want to sing with emphasis about the January event in the song, which marks a turning point for her.

Your smile is a good hint / Kana Uemura

A song by female singer-songwriter Kana Uemura, who shot to fame with “Toire no Kamisama” (The Toilet God).

The lyrics convey that even if you lose your way in everyday life, your smile will guide you to the exit.

Rather than focusing on something extraordinary, it sings about ordinary, day-to-day moments, making it easy to relate to.

With its bright melody, pop rhythm, and Uemura’s powerful vocals, it’s a track that gives you energy!

Ordinary daysUemura Kana5rank/position

Ordinary days

This is a song included on singer-songwriter Kana Uemura’s 2015 album “The Best Songs.” Uemura is known for her hit “Toire no Kamisama” (“The God of the Toilet”) and had a child in 2015.

This track feels like it’s dedicated to that child—overflowing with love and gratitude.

It paints scenes of everyday family life: ordinary days that are, in fact, irreplaceably happy moments.

The warm lyrics say that it’s thanks to you—who were born—that we can feel such moments.

Be sure to listen to it on a first birthday.

MomUemura Kana7rank/position

Mom

She once had a strained relationship with her mother, but now she feels grateful and wants to express it.

This song is perfect for a woman like that.

There’s so much between mothers and daughters, isn’t there? Because they’re the same gender, many women were treated more strictly and spent years feeling, “Why am I the only one being scolded this much?” But when you become a parent yourself, you realize, “My mom is my mom, but before that, she’s a human being.” For all the times we rebelled and caused trouble, we want to send this song with all the love we have.
