Nakukoto Nakareyo

"Nakukoto Nakareyo" - A Retro-Pop Lullaby for the Grown-Ups Too

From the moody backstreets of Yokohama, Saito Neonsign delivers a heartfelt kids' song-yes, you read that right-with a Showa pop twist.

Sometimes, parenting can feel like an endless loop of crying, chaos, and quiet desperation. Whether you're a mom, dad, teacher, or tired caretaker, there are moments when you just don't know what to do with all those tiny tears.

That's when we say: "Nakukoto Nakareyo"-a gentle, playful phrase meaning "Don't you cry now..."It's a comforting little chant that turns frustration into a smile.

Performed by Moe, a fellow member of the band and a real-life warrior in the world of parenting, this song is both a message and a mood-lifter.

Produced by Matsuishi Geru, the arrangement is a loving homage to early 70s Japanese vocal group The Cellstars-full of mellow grooves and nostalgic harmonies that parents will recognize, and kids will vibe with too.

Try humming it during diaper changes, traffic tantrums, or even those late-night "I-can't-do-this-anymore" moments. And hey-when you feel like crying? Sing it loud in karaoke mode. Make your own verse. That's the Neonsign way.

Originally written as a theme for "Machikado Milk Hall", a family-friendly music event in Yokohama, this tune is here to remind everyone: a little song goes a long way.
