A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly

Although it was released in 2008, this song hasn’t lost any of its freshness—truly a classic of the Heisei era.
You often hear it as background music during moving moments on TV, don’t you? The lyric “It took time, but at last we can be together” brims with radiant love.
It’s also frequently played at weddings and receptions, so it seems likely to remain beloved for years to come.
For parties celebrating your dad, mom, or someone special, be sure to include it as one of the BGM tracks! By the way, the unit name “Superfly” comes from the Curtis Mayfield song of the same name.
Kimi Anniversary ~Thank You for Being Born.~Sonar Pocket

Released in 2012 by Sonar Pocket, “Kimi Kinenbi ~Umarete Kite Kurete Arigatou~” is a song that lets you convey gratitude along with birthday wishes.
A birthday, which comes only once a year, should be the happiest day for that person.
That’s why it’s not enough to just say “Happy Birthday”—you should also express the thanks and feelings that you’re usually too shy to say face to face.
This song makes that possible.
It’s filled with highly relatable feelings you hold for the people you cherish.
On your loved one’s special day, try sending them this song as part of your celebration!
HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

This song is by back number, a rock band known for releasing many classic bittersweet love songs.
It was released in 2019 as their 20th single and served as the theme song for the drama A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love.
While the title might make you think it’s a celebratory track, it’s actually a poignant number depicting a man spending his birthday alone, nursing an unrequited love.
It tenderly conveys the aching feeling of waiting to hear “happy birthday” from the person he likes.
Rather than a song to give to someone else, it feels like a track that gently stays by the side of your lovesick self.
presentSEKAI NO OWARI

A warm message song that speaks to those grappling with the worries and conflicts of adolescence, telling them that their very existence is a gift.
The lyrics were written by Saori of SEKAI NO OWARI, and they read like a gentle letter to her past self.
While it empathizes with the loneliness and anxiety felt in school life, it also portrays—without sounding preachy—the experience of being saved by someone’s words or by music.
Written in 2015 as the set piece for the NHK National School Music Competition’s junior high division, it was performed the same year on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen with a junior high school choir.
In 2024, it was also selected as the Japanese end theme for the film Inside Out 2.
It’s the perfect song to celebrate a loved one’s new beginning—at graduation, school entrance, birthdays, and more.
