Our TomorrowElefanto Kashimashi
A great song I recommend that celebrates adult male friendship is Elephant Kashimashi’s “Oretachi no Ashita” (“Our Tomorrow”).
Written and composed by vocalist Koji Miyamoto, it speaks directly to friends from the past and present.
It captures that unbroken bond between men even when they don’t see each other often, and it’s truly moving.
The song was used in a commercial for House Foods’ “Ukon no Chikara,” and comedian Koji Kato, who appeared in the ad, introduced it on TV as a “tearjerker.” Give it a listen and let it bring back memories of the times you spent with friends in your youth!
Goodbye, see you.Fischer’s
When it comes to YouTubers popular among elementary and middle school students, it’s got to be the seven-member group Fischer’s, known for their great chemistry! This song is their 2018 graduation track, and the Fischer’s members also appear in the music video.
It portrays not only the fun times they’ve had, but also the moments when they couldn’t see eye to eye and clashed—and still chose to spend time together as friends.
No matter how much you like someone, if you spend enough time together, you start to notice the not-so-great parts, right? But whether you can bring that up and whether they can accept it seems to change the strength of your bond.
It’s a refreshing song that brings back memories of time spent with friends and makes you want to meet again even after graduation.

A song by Haji→, a singer-songwriter from Sendai, depicting the passionate bond with a friend he’s been close to for a long time.
Their completely honest relationship, without a shred of falsehood, made them irreplaceable to each other before they even realized it.
It’s a track that carries a nostalgic feel that brings back memories of student days.
It’ll make you want to meet up with friends you haven’t seen in a while.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a song that resonates like an anthem for life.
Centered on themes of self-acceptance and growth, the lyrics embrace a positive view of everyday joys and struggles.
Coupled with a grand rock ballad sound, it gives listeners courage and hope.
Released in January 2019 as Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s eighth single, and later featured in an orchestral arrangement for an Otsuka Pharmaceutical commercial starting in November 2022, this track is perfect for farewells or reconciliations with friends, as well as moments when you want to face yourself.
Listening to it will give you the strength to keep moving forward, no matter the circumstances.
Someday, these tearsLittle Glee Monster
Little Glee Monster’s song, which powerfully sings of the bonds of friendship, is perfect for looking back on memories with your friends.
Through beautiful harmonies, it conveys the bonds forged through sweat and tears and the importance of having the courage to face yourself.
Included on the album “Fanfare,” released in March 2023, the track was also used as the cheer song for the All Japan High School Soccer Championship.
It’s a highly recommended song for times when you’re parting ways with close friends due to graduation or starting a job, or when you want to reaffirm your precious connections.
