Dear BrideNishino Kana
When you want to offer a heartfelt “congratulations” to a friend who’s getting married, the perfect choice is the single Kana Nishino released in October 2016.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV show Mezamashi TV and winner of that year’s Japan Cable Radio Awards, this work is a classic wedding song that portrays the bond between women.
Its lyrics, which bless the bride as she steps into a new future while expressing a touch of loneliness and an unchanging friendship, never fail to stir the heart with every listen.
It’s said to have been created during a period when many of her friends were getting married, and that authentic emotion is part of its charm.
Play it during a letter-reading performance or when you and friends exit the reception floor, and the venue will surely be wrapped in warm tears.
It’s a song you’ll definitely want to gift to a dear best friend as she embarks on a new chapter.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
Superfly captivates with an overwhelming, powerful vocal presence that belies her small frame.
One of her signature songs is “Ai o Komete Hanataba o” (“A Bouquet with All My Love”)! It’s popular as a song to dedicate to parents at weddings, but it’s also perfect for expressing gratitude to someone special, regardless of age or gender.
Even if you can’t say a straightforward “thank you,” your heartfelt feelings will surely reach a close friend—though thinking that way can make you miss the moment to say it.
This is a number that gives you the push you need to convey your appreciation to a dear friend.
Maybe because we’re friends.Koresawa
A friendship song I especially recommend to young women is Koresawa’s “Maybe Because We’re Friends.” It’s by the female singer-songwriter whose heartbreak ballad “Tobacco” became a big hit.
While “Tobacco” expressed a breakup between a man and a woman in an achingly sad way, this song is the opposite—very poppy and cute! That’s the biggest reason I recommend it to young women, and the words in the lyrics are packed tightly with the scent of youth.
It’s a song that makes you cherish even more all the times you’ve spent together—the moments you laughed, the moments you cried, and all the time you’ve shared up to now.
Thank youMACO
MACO is a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido who’s been gaining buzz mainly on social media.
Her song “Arigatou” (Thank You) is included on her major-label debut album, 23.
Even with a best friend who truly understands you, it can feel embarrassing to say “thank you” face-to-face.
There are so many things you want to say, yet you can’t get them out and end up regretting it.
This song honestly expresses those universally relatable feelings, and by the time you reach the end, you’ll be in tears for sure! It might even make you want to reach out to your friend right away.
ButterflyKimura Kaera
The perfect moving song for a girlfriend’s big moment or special day is “Butterfly.” Sung by Kaela Kimura, who is also active as a fashion model, it was released in 2009 and used in Recruit’s Zexy commercial.
The song features a classical melodic line with a bright, festive feel.
Its heartwarming lyrics celebrate loved ones, making it a great way to convey appreciation if you don’t usually say it out loud.
It’s a classic—ideal to sing in front of friends or to use as background music for joyful scenes.
So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster
Little Glee Monster is a female vocal group that delights us with overwhelming harmonies and performances.
Their eighth single, released in 2017, is “Dakara, Hitori Janai” (“So You’re Not Alone”).
The music video, filmed at Universal Studios Japan, also made waves for featuring them dancing with characters like Snoopy.
It’s a song that gives you courage and energy, telling you, “Even when things are tough, you’re not alone.” If you listen to it while thinking of the friends who stayed by your side and watched over you during hard times, it will resonate with you even more deeply.
HarukaYOASOBI
Haruka is a song by YOASOBI, the duo of composer Ayase and singer ikura.
It was released in 2020.
The lyrics, which acknowledge sides of someone that only a friend would know, really hit home.
The chorus melody is crafted in a way that could bring you to tears, and it might just move you deeply.
With many such moving moments, this is a track you’ll want to give to a friend who’s easily brought to tears.
Ikura’s clear, transparent vocals are easy for anyone to listen to, so you really can’t go wrong gifting this song.
