Happy Happy Birthday!Team Mercury
Released for streaming in August 2020, the song “Happy Happy Birthday!” is a birthday track by Team Mercury, a unit composed of the second-generation members of the entertainment collective Zero PLANET.
You can feel the warmth behind the song—for example, the music video description features congratulatory comments for member Seina.
The tune is bright and moving, and the lyrics are filled with gentle words and heartfelt celebratory messages.
It’s a song you can use to celebrate a variety of people, from close female friends to romantic partners.
birthday songOtsuka Ai
Because the tempo is slow, I think it’s a very easy-listening and calming song.
But it also feels bright and really conveys a sense of congratulations, so I felt that singing it—or having it sung to you—would make for a very happy birthday.
Birthdayretororiron
Retro Riron’s major 3rd single “Birthday” is a song that overlays the resolve to step out of a stagnant daily life with the milestone of a birthday.
It sings of a protagonist who has been drifting through aimless days yet chooses to renew themselves.
The mid-tempo pop-rock sound—woven from soulful vocals and a genre-defying ensemble—builds toward a chorus that opens up with a sense of release.
It’s a number that gently nudges forward those who want to change but can’t quite take the first step.
A Poem to Giveyuzu
This is a hugely popular Yuzu song—so well-known that there might be hardly anyone who doesn’t know it even now.
The duo’s wonderful harmony helps create the perfect birthday atmosphere.
I think it’s a song I can recommend to people of all ages, so I really hope you’ll give it a listen.
Birthday Songayaka
Ayaka also sings a birthday song.
There aren’t many notes, but that actually brings out the softness of her voice.
You can feel a kind of tenderness that’s rare in pop music.
The sound is really cute, too.
The children’s chorus somehow brings tears to your eyes.
For those who prefer a calm birthday with family or close friends rather than a noisy crowd, it will make a gentle BGM.
It’s a short song, but the way it’s expressed in this one piece really gets the feeling across.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
A heartwarming ballad that conveys gratitude in the form of a bouquet.
One of Superfly’s signature songs, it was released in April 2007.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Edison no Haha,” and is loved by people of all ages.
The song’s charm lies in its straightforward lyrics expressing appreciation for family and loved ones, and Shiho Ochi’s powerful vocals resonate deeply.
It’s the perfect track for occasions like weddings and birthdays when you want to convey your thanks to someone special.
Even if you’re shy, giving this song is sure to get your feelings across.
Highly recommended as a gift for women, too!
