Best FriendKiroro
I can reaffirm that I’m not alone.
Because I’m never alone, I can take on challenges.
I can achieve things.
And even when something happens, those smiles have helped me again.
Since I’ve been helped by so many people’s smiles, this time I want to help others with my own smile.
Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE
“Thank You.” is a beloved hit by the nationally popular group DREAMS COME TRUE.
Released in 1995, it was DREAMS COME TRUE’s 17th single.
When we talk about bonds, they can mean friendships, family ties, mentor–student relationships, and more, but this song focuses on something very close to home—the bond between friends.
It’s a song that lets you feel the gratitude for someone who gently stays by your side and supports you as you comfort a heartbroken friend.
For many, this may be one of those songs that brings back memories of their youth.
while taking a breatherYamamoto Aya
Many people may have come to know “Hitoiki Tsukinagara” from hearing Sayaka Yamamoto sing it.
The original song was released as a single in 2015 by Yuichi Ikuzawa, a singer-songwriter who has contributed to many Being (B-Zone) tracks.
I myself first heard Sayaka Yamamoto sing it in JT’s commercial on the TV program Another Sky, which led me to the song.
It’s a piece that powerfully conveys bonds—you can feel the warmth of humanity and the message that you’re not alone.
It’s been a great source of support when I’m tired, and whenever I hear it live, I can’t hold back my tears.
I want to keep moving forward, taking “a breather” with Hitoiki Tsukinagara.
Buddywacci
A wacci bond song whose simple words touch the heart.
“Buddy” carries the nuance of comrades with whom you can open up and have deep conversations—more than just friends—and it brings to mind teammates and rivals you’ve fought alongside.
It’s a warm track that fits vividly into everyday life in a way that’s so wacci, gently staying by your side.
There are times when you’re riding the wave, and times when you fall into a slump.
Thinking that my buddies are surely giving it their all even now gives me the courage to say, “I’ll do it too!” Perhaps the feelings we have for our companions are themselves a kind of bond.

Although “Akashi” was released in 2011, it’s a ballad that has grown in stature over time, beloved as an NHK music competition set piece and as a graduation song.
It’s filled with earnest feelings for friends who are setting off on their own paths, and the more you listen, the more the words sink in and your emotions well up.
You don’t really want to part, but you set out to fulfill your dreams… The days of arguing, laughing, and crying together will never fade, no matter how much time passes.
When you feel like you might lose heart, I believe “Akashi” will give you strength.
Bond.haji→
A song that radiates the fiery bond between men, “Kizuna”! In the lyrics, there’s a line about telling others, “He’s a good guy,” when someone speaks ill of your friend.
That part really feels like what true friendship is.
It’s something you don’t have to say if you know it yourself, and you could easily just let it slide—but you choose not to.
Listening to it makes you think, I want a friend like that! It’s a bond song that inspires that feeling.
Everyone has their own idea of what a “friend” means to them, but being considered someone’s dear friend is something that makes you happy, isn’t it?
