primary colorsYOASOBI
It’s a song by YOASOBI that seems to express enduring memories and the bonds we’ve built, remaining unchanged even when distance separates us.
The light, breezy sound featuring flamenco guitar-like tones is striking, conveying a strong sense of positivity.
Focusing on a reunion beyond parting, it tells a story that even if distance causes a relationship to fade, it can be reconnected through meeting again.
By firmly believing in that reunion, you can feel the bonds that tie you together and welcome a new departure with positivity.
If I sing to the sky175R
“If We Sing to the Sky” is the second single by the punk rock band 175R, released in 2003.
Following their previous release “Happy Life,” it reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts and became their best-selling single.
The rebellious spirit of the punk sound and the lyrics—written by vocalist SHOGO for a friend back in his hometown—really strike a chord.
The friends we bonded with during those fearless youthful days are truly irreplaceable.
Give it a listen while thinking of your friends from back then!
Beast Friendsnishina
Nishina’s 2021 release “Kedamono no Friends” is a song that makes you want to cherish the feelings only friends can truly understand.
There are things—sorrow, loneliness, and even joy—that others might overlook, but friends can recognize because they’re friends.
The song evokes those happy days spent with a friend who’s bound to you by an invisible bond, like a true best friend.
How about singing it together as a way to say, “Thank you for always being by my side”?
flameLiSA
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been a massive hit in both its TV anime and film versions, becoming a social phenomenon.
LiSA’s “Homura,” which also became a hit as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, has lyrics that are calmer and more deeply moving than the anime’s opening theme “Gurenge,” making its popularity easy to understand.
It’s also a powerful friendship song—one that perfectly suits words like burning passion and unbreakable bonds.
Rather than celebrating just easygoing friendships, it resonates especially well with friendships that can sometimes take the form of rivalry.
Cheer up!Shimatani Hitomi
A heartwarming song covering a classic written and composed by Mariya Takeuchi.
Hitomi Shimatani’s clear, translucent vocals resonate gently with anyone who has experienced heartbreak or setbacks.
The lyrics carry a message that gives you the courage to face forward and take the next step.
Released in June 2003, the track was also used as the theme song for the NHK drama series “Okami ni Narimasu!” It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when reaffirming bonds with friends or when you’re about to embark on a new chapter in life.
At least this / Just this (one thing)WANIMA

The lyrics encourage you to keep looking forward even when facing hardships, and the energetic sound really moves you.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear when you feel lonely or want to push past your limits.
Perfect for those who want to reaffirm their bonds with friends or are standing at a crossroads in life.
With WANIMA’s signature passionate performance, it’s sure to give listeners courage.
The Song of BeginningsTHE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE
Hajimari no Uta is a gently soothing song with a mood unlike anything THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE has released before.
Spring brings moving up to a new grade, leaving home to live on your own, or starting your first job—times that can come with worries and uncertainty.
In those moments, this number softly nudges you forward, telling you, “You’re not alone,” and “Somewhere out there, there are friends thinking of you.” As you listen to the message woven through its comforting vocals, you’ll be reminded anew of the importance of friendship.
