Women’s Heart-Lifting Birthday Songs (41–50)
Happy BirthdayOKAMOTO’S
It’s an upbeat, high-tempo song that really gets you going.
I think it’s also perfect as background music for a big birthday party.
Since it’s so bright and cheerful, it can make a fun birthday even more enjoyable.
I recommend it to people who like catchy, energetic tracks.
threadChris Hart
This is Chris Hart’s cover of Miyuki Nakajima’s smash hit released in 1998.
Unlike Nakajima, who is a woman, Hart’s male vocals bring a uniquely warm quality to the song.
It’s not a full-on birthday song, but it’s highly recommended as a chance to reflect on the future on your girlfriend’s birthday.
Just like the lyrics, take this special day to clearly tell her that you want to keep supporting each other and live your lives together from here on.
Happy BirthdayFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
It’s a song from a man’s perspective about making various preparations to celebrate someone special’s birthday.
I realized that having someone who wants to celebrate your birthday like in this song is truly something to be grateful for, and I felt I should appreciate it.
It’s one of my favorite songs by Fanmon.
Happy BirthdayB’z
I think this is also a great classic for birthdays.
If a boyfriend or a friend sang a song like this at karaoke for you, you’d be totally swept away, right? I think it would make for a truly memorable birthday.
As expected, the wonderful lyrics and music really leave a deep impression.
Birthday SongJUDY AND MARY
It’s a Judy and Mary song that I personally love.
I think it’s a great track to sing when you want to express the feeling of celebrating someone’s birthday in a fun way.
It puts you in a good mood, so I recommend it for karaoke too.
It’s bright and upbeat, so I want to get hyped up with my friends.
Thank youikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s “Arigatou” is a song we sang at the send-off for our graduating seniors, so I have many memories attached to it.
Since the song expresses gratitude, I think it can be used in many different situations.
Birthdays are more important than any other day, so I think it’s wonderful to use a day like that to express your thanks.
Happy birthdayKetsumeishi
A Ketsumeishi track that celebrates the birthday person while also expressing gratitude to the mom who gave birth to them! Included on the album “Ketsuno Police 5,” this song is filled with birthday cheer from start to finish.
It’s perfect not only as a gift from a boyfriend to his girlfriend on her birthday, but also from a dad to his child—and through that, to the mom as well! It’s a birthday song that will bring happiness not just to the girlfriend celebrating her birthday, but also to her mom—truly a tune I’d especially recommend to women.
