DISH// – Sweet Daphne [Official Video]

DISH//’s “Jinchoge” is a song that expresses gratitude to one’s mother.

Released in 2021, it was co-written by Hattori from Macaroni Empitsu (guitar/vocals) and Takumi Kitamura from DISH//.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “The Winner in February: A Classroom for Guaranteed Acceptance.” The song portrays the feeling many people can relate to: being truly full of thanks for a mother who always supports and watches over them, yet finding it hard to put that gratitude into words when the moment comes.

After listening to this song, make sure to honestly tell your mother, “Thank you.”

WST “Filial Piety” Official Music Video

WST is a unit formed by Micro from Def Tech and DJ Shu Doso.

Released in March 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this song is a heartwarming number that straightforwardly conveys the value of everyday life and time spent with family.

Against the backdrop of inevitable farewells and the frustration of not being able to see the ones you want to, it expresses gratitude in down-to-earth words.

It’s also included on the album “Straight Street,” and the backstory—that the two created it while tearfully talking things through—makes it all the more moving.

There’s a gentle quality that, though a bit clumsy, sincerely speaks on your behalf the “thank you” that’s hard to say out loud.

It could be a lovely touch to include with a letter to your parents at your wedding or as part of a surprise on a special anniversary.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Pure White Lilies for Your Birthday (Full ver.)

This warm, quietly heartfelt song expressing deep gratitude to one’s parents was released in April 2013 as Masaharu Fukuyama’s 30th single.

Created as a message from a child to their parents, it resonated widely as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama Tonbi, and features the distinctive timbre of the South American folk instrument, the zampoña.

The song gently embraces awkward feelings about the parent–child relationship and the unspoken words of thanks.

It also reflects Fukuyama’s real-life habit of giving his mother flowers on her birthday each year, richly conveying a child’s feelings toward their parents.

It’s a song that quietly nestles close to the heart—perfect as a Mother’s Day gift or as a message of gratitude to someone special.

Dear MomHIPPY

[Touching] A song of gratitude for my mother on her birthday, “To Mom”

Sometimes it’s precisely because you’re so close that you can’t be honest.

This is HIPPY’s famous ballad that straightforwardly captures that frustrating sense of distance and overflowing gratitude.

It vividly portrays the worry caused during rebellious years and the greatness of parents you only recognize once you’re grown, making your heart swell every time you listen.

Included on the album “HomeBase ~Arigatou~,” released in March 2017, this heartwarming track was composed by HIPPY and EQ.

Even the anecdote that its working title was “Okan” (Mom) conveys its unpretentious warmth.

For Mother’s Day or a birthday, why not entrust this song with the “thank you” that’s hard to say out loud, and give it to your mom?

Thank you very much.Makihara Noriyuki

Thank You Very Much — Noriyuki Makihara cover. Dōmo-kun 20th Anniversary campaign song, included on Design & Reason, with lyrics.

This song was created as a special commemorative piece to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NHK’s character Domo-kun.

Conveying twenty years’ worth of “thank yous” from Domo-kun, the song is accompanied by a lovely special movie presented in a drama style.

The lyrics are very simple so that the word “thank you” really comes across, and that simplicity, in turn, seems to highlight the word “thank you” even more.
