birthdaykururi
Quruli is a Japanese rock band.
Their languid vocal style is distinctive and grips listeners’ hearts.
“BIRTHDAY” has an addictive, nostalgic vibe to its sound, and its unique way of celebrating a birthday leaves a strong impression.
While many birthday songs are peppered with cheerful phrases like “Congratulations” or “Thank you for being born,” Quruli’s “BIRTHDAY” expresses more complex feelings toward someone reaching a birthday and growing up, with lines like “Don’t leave me behind.” Many people are likely to relate to that sense of anxious urgency.

Sonar Pocket’s happy songs always brighten the heart, and this birthday song is one of them.

This song lets you deliver those shy sentiments.
It’s sure to make the birthday person happy, too.
A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru
The moments when you feel like giving flowers often coincide with celebrations like Mother’s Day, birthdays, and anniversaries.
A song that captures that special feeling is Hikaru Utada’s “Hanataba wo Kimi ni” (“A Bouquet for You”).
It was also used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Toto Nee-chan.
The song showcases the gentle side of Utada’s voice and makes you feel warm and tender.
While it doesn’t contain words specifically about birthdays, it’s perfect for celebrations and birthdays alike.
InfinityKanjani∞
This song expresses feelings for one’s friends overflowing to “infinity.” When you think of Kanjani Eight, you probably imagine lively, energetic songs with a playful vibe.
But this track, “Mugen Dai,” gently conveys the greatness and joy of having friends, resulting in something unlike their usual style.
Please enjoy it as a medium-tempo ballad you can really sink into.
On a friend’s birthday, you’ll share your friendship and once again realize just how irreplaceable your friends are.
happyBUMP OF CHICKEN
As we celebrate birthdays and grow older, we repeat that cycle year after year, and one day it comes to an end.
Along that journey of life, there are fun moments, but also many sad ones.

The lyrics, strung together with Motoo Fujiwara’s unique words, carry a certain awkwardness yet are filled with love for someone precious.
For men who usually struggle to express their feelings honestly, why not use this song to convey birthday wishes to a special woman and your hope to walk through the rest of life together?
