Gifted PoemKokoro Ōkushon
This is “Okurishi,” a song I’d like to give to anyone graduating.
It was released in 2020 by the rock band Kokoro Auction.
While it conveys the proud, dependable feeling toward the protagonist who’s about to graduate, it also carries a touch of loneliness and the wish for them to keep doing their best—woven together with the word “congratulations.” The lyrics can be heard from the perspective of parents or as that of a close friend.
It’s not a ballad, but its sound somehow tightens the chest and resonates with the heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYMONGOL800
As we get older, we sometimes feel like “Birthdays aren’t exciting anymore,” but like in this song, I want to be someone who loves my birthday no matter how old I get! Still, to feel that way, you need people who will celebrate your special day.
Even if you say, “I don’t care about birthdays anymore,” it’s lonely when no one celebrates you.
Let’s keep celebrating the birthdays of the people we care about!
Marriage Fighting Spirit March: Best BuddyKishidan
The single released on June 16, 2004, the Marriage Fighting Spirit March “Mabudachi,” remains hugely popular as a classic song friends present to the bride and groom at wedding receptions.
With an intro arranged from the Wedding March and jubilant wedding bells ringing throughout, it’s a number brimming with celebratory mood.
The heartwarming lyrics, from a friend’s perspective celebrating their best friend’s marriage, are sure to bring tears.

Happy BirthdayNEWS
Released in 2008 as NEWS’s 10th single.
The song was used in KOSÉ’s “HAPPY BATH DAY” commercial and marked NEWS’s second track provided by GReeeeN.
It’s filled with the gentle feelings of a guy doing his best to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday, expressing gratitude for meeting her and for her being born, and conveying that birthdays are special.
It’s a bright and fun song.
Lovely birthdayMoritaka Chisato
Released in 1994 and featured as the CF song for Asahi Draft Beer “Z,” this is Chisato Moritaka’s “Suteki na Tanjobi” (“A Lovely Birthday”).
It’s a very sweet birthday song for lovers, about waiting for a beloved partner to come home while cooking their favorite dishes.
I imagine many women spent the day in just the same way while listening to this song back then.
And if the person by your side now is the same partner from those days, it might be lovely to listen to this song together on the next birthday.
Happy Birthday SongMakihara Noriyuki
This is a birthday song by Noriyuki Makihara.
It’s an impressive track where a cool, Black-music-style groove meets the gentle, soft lyrics characteristic of Maki.
It has a cool vibe that makes you want to use it for a birthday party at night.
And if you read the lyrics closely, they contain thought-provoking lines that really strike a chord.
