[For Women] Songs to Give a Cherished Friend | A Curated Selection of Moving Friendship Songs (31–40)

Stand-Up SisterYU-KI

YUKI often sings sweet and cute love songs, but it seems she wrote this one to dedicate to a dear female friend.

Within the strong message of “stand up,” the song is filled with YUKI’s unique worldview of living naturally and freely.

Women are beautiful even when they cry or act selfishly.

That’s why this is an anthem for women—don’t give up on various things, don’t be swallowed by the world, and live powerfully.

This song became a hit after being featured in a Docomo commercial.

It’s a work by YOASOBI, a music duo at the forefront of the J-pop scene, released digitally in 2021.

It was created based on Yuichiro Komikado’s novel “RGB.” The four-on-the-floor sound with a sultry vibe is seriously addictive, and ikura’s gentle vocals are absolutely lovely.

The lyric “Even if we live different lives, I’m sure we’ll meet again” makes it perfect to dedicate to a friend who lives far away.

MakoMina is a duo of two girls from Fukushima Prefecture who became hugely popular with their twin-dance videos.

This song is the first one for which MakoMina themselves, who were 18 at the time of its 2016 release, wrote the lyrics.

They say they wrote it while thinking of each other, making it a song that captures the real friendship between girls.

It’s a wonderful track that honestly expresses the simple feeling of “I’m so glad I have friends.” I think it’s the ultimate friendship song, from girls, for girls.
