It’s the song known as the ending theme of Studio Ghibli’s film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
The singer is Yumi Matsutoya, who was performing under the name Yumi Arai at the time.
I imagine many expectant mothers today watched the movie when they were children.
The lyrics beautifully convey the love we received from our parents, often without even realizing it, and they really resonate.
It’s a song I especially hope women about to give birth and start raising children will listen to.
Its gentle melody will surely soothe both baby and mother.

Different from a lively party, this is the song by Yumi Matsutoya that you’ll want to listen to for a more subdued birthday.
Released in 1988, it’s a track from the album “Delight Slight Light KISS,” which sold over a million copies.
It paints sweet yet bittersweet memories of birthdays once spent with a cherished person you can no longer see.
The imagery of candlelight and messages on a cake springs to mind, stirring a touch of sentimentality.
Its gentle melody tenderly wraps both the joy of a birthday and the affection for days gone by.
It’s the perfect song for a quiet night spent alone or a nostalgic, grown-up birthday scene.
Happy Birthday to You ~ The Birth of VenusMatsutōya Yumi3rank/position
This is a majestically mythic birthday song by Yumi Matsutoya, a leading figure in Japan’s pop scene.
It’s wonderful not only as a celebratory tune but also for its profound theme of a “second birth,” symbolizing a rebirth into a new self.
The track was included on the album DAWN PURPLE, released in November 1991, and was also loved as the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Albertville Winter Olympics.
The fact that this album achieved the first-ever million copies sold in its initial week on the Oricon charts speaks to the song’s power.
It’s the perfect piece to send, with heartfelt encouragement, to someone dear who is setting out on a new chapter in life, for a truly special moment.
