[Report] My 4-year-old ASD son, "Arara," has finally received his debut song.

Hello.
I'm Hitomi Kuma, a mom in my late 30s.

Today, there is something I really, really wanted to write about.

It's a bit of a brag.

But it's not just any brag.

A story I hope will gently reach parents and children who are right in the middle of raising a child with developmental differences.

🎤 Arara's unexpected debut song

My 4-year-old son.
Diagnosed with ASD. Also has ADHD & DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder) traits.

For Arara, this time...

he has received a debut song.

The story of how Arara
debuted as an idol in the note world is here👇

The person who handled the lyrics and composition is
Rumi-Rumi, the songwriter for MIRACLE

MIRACLE RuMi-san♡

The excitement I felt when I received that message was off the charts.

I mean, really,

・I ran around the house three times for no reason
・I opened the fridge, closed it, and opened it again
・I couldn't stop grinning even after taking deep breaths

I was in a state of "what happened to my emotions?"

I wanted to tell everyone right away!

But due to various circumstances,
today, we are finally ready to announce it.

🎧 First, I want you to listen

"Hey, hey, listen"

I cried at this first line.

Huh? Isn't that too soon? you ask?
Yeah, it's soon. But it's a fact.

😭 The story of when I first heard it

Well, I'll be honest.
I listened to it for the first time and cried.

Since then, every day,
I've listened to it at least 5 times. (No exaggeration)

At first,

"Dreams come true☆"
"It's okay to like what you like☆"

I thought it was going to be a cheerful, encouraging song like that.

But, Rumi-Rumi (Ru-chan)
interviewed me so much.

She carefully scooped up everything.
What resulted is this song.

Before listening to it, I thought I wanted to make an answer song, but
this song had everything packed into it, so I don't need to (lol).

💛 3 thoughts packed into this song

① Arara's thoughts (a child with developmental differences)

Even if I want to tell you, I can't say it well.
I don't have even a millimeter of bad intentions.

But, I get misunderstood.

The voices of children like that.

② Thoughts for Arara (raising a child with developmental differences)

Days that don't go as ideally planned.

✅️ A huge meltdown on the way home from nursery school
✅️ A tantrum while waiting at the hospital
✅️ Every daily action is a mission

But you know.
Even so,

"Right now is the most precious time"

is what I'm thinking.

Little by little, little by little,
there are things he has cleared.

Compared to this time a year ago, it's amazing growth.

3. And, a message for Mom

This part is unfair.

I mean, really.

If a mother raising a child
is told this, she's going to cry, right? (crying)

I thought, this is a form of developmental support.

🌱 I thought this was "support"

Developmental support is,

- Home rehabilitation
- Home-based therapy
- Expert advice

Of course, those are important too.

But.
The words "I understand" are also excellent support.

If any of these are missing, it won't be well-rounded.
Something will explode somewhere.

But when they all come together,
little by little, a warm feeling spreads.

🎥 This is a song for a lifetime

When Arara becomes an adult.
Or when he reaches his half-coming-of-age ceremony.

If I make a video of his growth record,
this song will definitely be the BGM.

I guarantee it.

🙏 A massive traffic jam of gratitude

Rumi-Rumi, thank you so much.

To Maki-san, the manager who shared Arara's story,
thank you.

To the Motsugaki-tai & Mi-chan, who sparked this debut,
thank you.

To everyone at the Takars agency who connected us,
thank you.

And.

To Hidehito Nakano-san, who commented almost every day when I only had single-digit likes.

And to all the followers who gradually increased,
interacted with me, and watched over us,
thank you.

To all the creators who always give me inspiration.

Thank you so much.

I want to link everyone's articles,
but if I did, it would probably be tens of thousands of characters, so I'll refrain 😶‍🌫️

🌈 Raising a child with developmental differences is a story of taking the long way around.

💬 I want to ask you

If you or your child had a
"theme song," what would it be?

What kind of song will it be?

What is one thing you would like to say to yourself right now?

Please let me know in the comments if you'd like 🎤

Let's become well-rounded together.
