Of course, there are men who want to support women during that time, but in the end, it’s the woman who gives birth.
It’s hard to truly share the exact same feelings, isn’t it? In moments like that, try listening to this song.
It may help both of you recognize the importance of the time you spend together and the feelings that are hard to put into words.
A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru2rank/position
This is a ballad imbued with a warm message that gently accompanies the season of partings.
It paints a bittersweet yet beautiful scene of entrusting gratitude to a loved one and an inexpressible love to a “bouquet,” and offering it as a gift.

Goodbye HappinessUtada Hikaru3rank/position
A song by Hikaru Utada that portrays the resolve to say goodbye to days of past happiness and step forward as a new self.
Despite its upbeat dance sound, the lyrics bid farewell not only to loneliness but to happiness itself, conveying both the strength to accept the past and move toward the future, and the sadness that lies beneath.
Released in advance from the album “Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.
2” in November 2010, just before her hiatus, it was also featured in a commercial.
Even after going through a divorce and becoming single again, you may want to face your memories and take a strong step forward.
This is a song that gently gives a push to those who feel that way.

The synthesizers are beautiful, and the lyrics, written from a female perspective, portray a strong woman.
It conveys a strong impression of “I can’t lose,” making it a song that gives you a push when you feel like you’re about to be defeated and frustrated, or when you’re standing still.

It’s a song released by Hikaru Utada in 2002, featuring a calm, gentle melody that gives it a mature feel.
However, the lyrics are upbeat, conveying the message, “Let’s be happier tomorrow than today!” The title phrase, “Let’s be happy,” is sung repeatedly, making it a track that fills you with energy for tomorrow just by listening.
First LoveUtada Hikaru7rank/position
It’s ‘First Love,’ included on Hikaru Utada’s debut album released in 1999.
It was a TV drama theme song at the time and has continued to be loved for a long time—it’s very famous, isn’t it? Even now, I’m amazed by the mature lyrics that are hard to believe were written when she was a teenager.
It’s a classic heartbreak love song, don’t you think?
LettersUtada Hikaru8rank/position
The other track on the 11th double A-side single, released together with Hikaru Utada’s “SAKURA Drops.” Although it’s known as a heartbreak song, “Letters” was created from the experience of her mother heading off to work without notice, leaving only a note to tell her.
For a little girl, her mother’s business trip feels like a small “goodbye,” and I imagine it must feel very lonely.
Time Will TellUtada Hikaru9rank/position
Here is the song that was released in 1998 as Hikaru Utada’s debut single along with “Automatic.” It’s said that the title “time will tell” was taken from the name of a pawn shop in New York that she used to visit as a child.
The song’s message is: time will teach you many things, so don’t get depressed by yourself.
It’s amazing that she came up with such lyrics at the age of 15.
