Friendship Songs to Give on a Birthday (41–50)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 MEeill
This is a song by eill filled with self-love and positive messages.
Released in June 2022 as her sixth digital single, it centers on themes of loving and affirming oneself.
Inspired by eill’s own experiences, it’s a warm and heartfelt track.
Following her major-label debut album “PALETTE,” the release coincided with the nationwide “BLUE ROSE TOUR 2022.” It’s perfect as background music for a friend’s birthday party, and also recommended for surprise videos for someone special.
This work, which emphasizes the importance of self-love, would make a wonderful gift for a friend celebrating their birthday.
BIRTHDAY SONG FOR YOUyosu
yosu’s “BIRTHDAY SONG FOR YOU” is a birthday song with a very refreshing sound.
It suits any atmosphere, making it perfect as BGM for birthday parties.
The lyrics celebrate the birthday of a close friend or a lover, and I think anyone who receives it will feel how cherished they are.
BIRTHDAYkururi
I feel this song, “BIRTHDAY,” really showcases Quruli’s signature style.
It’s their 14th single, released in 2005.
It’s a birthday song that’s laid-back and gentle, yet celebrates from the heart—overflowing with gratitude for the day a loved one was born.
Although the lyrics never explicitly name the season, the slightly indirect expressions that still let you sense it feel very much like Quruli.
The chorus features singer-songwriter Inotomo, whose vocals make the track all the more enchanting.
beautifulfukurouzu
Fukurowzu’s “Beautiful” is a song that lets you straightforwardly and sincerely wish your friend a happy birthday.
It’s included on the 2017 album “Beautiful.” It’s a perfect track to convey pure birthday wishes and your love to a friend you often trouble or cause worry.
Vocalist Mari Uchida’s gentle voice and the pop melody also make it ideal as background music for a birthday video.
Why not create a birthday video for your friend with this song and give it as a gift, with a heartfelt thank-you for everything they do?
Happy☆Lucky Birthday!Doraemon
It’s a bright and cute song where all the main characters celebrate Doraemon’s birthday, beloved by children.
If you simply replace the parts where they say Doraemon’s name with your friend’s name, it turns into a heartfelt birthday song—perfect for friends who love anime.
The track is included on the 2012 album “Let’s Play with Doraemon! Children’s Songs Special.”
Bond.haji→
Haji→’s friendship song that conveys the passionate bond between men.
A friendship where you can call each other the best kind of person is wonderful, isn’t it? Even if you’re doing nothing special, even if there are times when you’re apart, you still understand each other—and sometimes you can clash honestly.
This song reflects on the many days spent with such friends and expresses a feeling for a friendship that will never fade.
The intensity this song gives off suits male friendship more than female friendship.
Try gifting it among male friends.
Happy Birthday!!Kawashima Ai
A song included on Ai Kawashima’s 2006 album “Thank You!”.
With its cute melody, Ai Kawashima’s vocal style, and a bouncy rhythm, it’s a heartwarming, cozy birthday song.
Vivid scene descriptions evoke a party atmosphere, overflowing with an at-home feel.
The first verse is told from the perspective of “congratulations,” and the second from “thank you,” celebrating unchanging friendship.
The second verse in particular is moving enough to bring you to tears.
It’s packed with the sentiment, “Let’s keep getting along from here on, too.” Try using it as background music for a video, playing it when you give a present, or sending it to a friend in your own way!
