anniversaryMAGIC OF LiFE
With the title just as it is, the one song to listen to on an anniversary: “Kinenbi” by MAGIC OF LiFE.
This track is included on MAGIC OF LiFE’s 2020 album “MAGIC.” I think there are times when it’s not sad, you’re happy, and yet you find yourself in tears or feeling a sweet ache.
This song brings on exactly that feeling—tears of happiness.
It’s a piece that feels like reaffirming each other’s feelings on an anniversary, exchanging a promise to stay happy together from here on out.
A life-sized love songAqua Timez
“Life-Size Love Song” — just like this title suggests, why not share your unadorned, true-to-yourself feelings on an anniversary? It’s a track included on Aqua Timez’s mini-album “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori” (A Prayer Played Across the Sky).
True to its name, the lyrics are written in plain, unembellished, life-sized words.
Rather than saying some special line of love, simply being together lets love be felt as warmth.
It’s perfect for an anniversary that became the starting point for building a wonderful relationship that goes beyond love.
A love song for youTHE ALFEE
It’s a grand, moving ballad.
The song is by THE ALFEE, a rock band that has remained at the forefront of Japan’s music scene for many years, and it was released in 2017 as their 66th single.
It sings of pure love—the wish to stay with the one you love forever.
Perhaps it suits an adult couple even more.
loveHoshino Gen
Of course, a moving, sentimental anniversary is wonderful—but why not brighten it up with a light, upbeat song too? This smash hit by Gen Hoshino, who’s hugely popular as both an actor and a singer-songwriter, was released as a single in 2016.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu) and sparked a massive craze with the choreography known as the “Koi Dance.” It’s such a genuinely feel-good sound to listen to—there’s a refreshing charm that just clears your heart.
LOVEMACO
It’s a love song whose lyrics express a pure feeling: “No matter how much time we spend together, my feelings won’t change.” It’s a track by MACO, a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido, released in 2015 as her debut single.
The gentle melody unfolds at a relaxed tempo, perfectly matching MACO’s soft vocals and warming the heart.
With its cozy atmosphere, it seems perfect for couples to listen to side by side.

You idiot.riria. feat. arekun
This is a collaborative song by singer-songwriter Riria and Ale-kun released in 2020.
The opening gives off an ominous vibe that might make you think it’s a breakup song, but as the song progresses, you realize it’s actually about a lovey-dovey couple.
Precisely because they’re so close, they struggle to be honest, and feel too shy to say “I love you.” In this song, too, the boyfriend loves his girlfriend but can’t express it, leading her to sulk, hint at a breakup, and try to confirm his feelings.
If you two had a fight right before your anniversary, how about making up with this song?
Shape of HappinessMAGIC OF LiFE
MAGIC OF LiFE’s “Shiawase no Katachi” is a song that celebrates the happiness of being able to cry and laugh together.
It’s included on the 2012 album “doors.” The lyrics plainly express feelings of gratitude for having met and the joy of being together.
If you give this song to your partner on an anniversary, it will convey how happy you are to have met them.
Its refreshing melody also makes it perfect as background music for spending your special day.
