Thank youOhashi Takuya
This is a solo song by Takuya Ohashi from Sukima Switch, and it’s his second single.
It was used as the Mother’s Day Flower Cupid collaboration campaign song, and it’s perfect for expressing gratitude to one’s parents.
Ohashi actually dedicated this song to his own parents, and it conveys straightforward feelings that are hard to say out loud in everyday life.
It’s a track that’s sure to bring tears to your eyes.
cosmos (flower)Yamaguchi Momoe
In this song written and composed by Masashi Sada, which portrays a mother as seen through the eyes of her daughter on the eve of her marriage, a tender depth of feeling overlaps with the image of pale pink cosmos flowers.
Gratitude toward the mother, the years spent living together, hopes and anxieties for the new life beginning tomorrow, and tears—all of it resonates, and the feeling of “thank you” to one’s mother gently permeates the listener’s heart.
Released in 1977, it remains a moving masterpiece even today.
Toward a Shining TomorrowKawasaki Takaya
Singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki gained sudden attention when “Magic Carpet” went viral and became a smash hit on TikTok.
His gentle, conversational voice lodges itself in your ears after just one listen, and every track leaves you enchanted.
This song, “Toward a Shining Tomorrow,” is another beautiful piece that resonates deeply.
Sung from a male perspective as if dedicated to his wife, the lyrics remind you how extraordinary our ordinary, everyday life truly is.
Even those who usually feel too shy to express their gratitude will surely feel inspired to try.
Untitled TodayHirai Dai
The song that makes me realize how precious the days we spend without thinking are is “Titleless Today.” It was released in 2021 by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, whose grand, expansive sound heals listeners’ hearts.
The track evokes bright, breezy scenery, with a genre-defying charm and a gentle, floating melody that resonates.
Many will find courage in his vocals, which are filled with both kindness and strength.
If you’re looking for a song to gift to family members who are always working hard at school or at their jobs, be sure to give it a listen.
GratitudeHirahara Ayaka
Ayaka Hirahara is a female singer with a wide vocal range and musicality who is highly acclaimed in the industry.
Her deep, powerful vocals born from her exceptional singing ability can move you no matter the song.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Gratitude.” While it’s a piece about appreciation for one’s parents and the people around them, its lyrics are notable not for direct depiction but for expressing something like the laws of human nature.
The melody is nostalgic and calm, making it a good choice for moments when you want to sink into sentiment while remembering late parents.
Thank youMotoi Miho
“Arigatou” is a song by Miho Motoi, a singer-songwriter from Kyoto, which has become a hot topic as a moving wedding song.
The music video itself is made like a wedding profile movie.
If this plays at a wedding, the parents will hardly be able to hold back their tears.
The lyrics about being raised with your parents’ love and wanting to become a couple like them will likely feel like a moment when all their years of effort are rewarded.
Send this song when you want to convey a heartfelt ‘thank you.’
Letter ~To My Dear Children~Higuchi Ryōichi
Ryoichi Higuchi’s “Tegami ~To My Dear Children~,” with its whisper-like vocals, multiplies the feeling of gratitude many times over.
Its lyrics—parents growing old dedicating words to their children—are sure to bring tears.
Higuchi’s deeply affecting voice and the simple arrangement of just a beautiful acoustic guitar are irresistibly moving.
Precisely because it’s so simple, the message sinks even deeper into the heart.
It’s such a wonderful song that you could say there’s no better piece for parents to give to their children.
