We on SaturdayLiSA
Do you have a friend who, despite having completely different hobbies and personalities, you’re mysteriously close with? This is a very positive friendship song that sings, “Because you’re here, I can keep moving toward the future.” It’s a track by the popular singer LiSA—also known for the massive hit “Gurenge”—released as a single in 2022 and included on the album LANDER the same year.
The way it straightforwardly expresses feelings for a best friend, just as they are, feels really good to listen to, and it matches perfectly with the brightness of her vocals.

Yuika is a singer-songwriter who’s active mainly on TikTok.
Her song “Itsumo Soba ni Iru Hito e” (“To the One Who’s Always by My Side”) was written on the theme of a best friend.
The pop-tinged sound is striking, and the lyrics convey gratitude, affection, and the wish to stay friends forever.
It’s perfect for friendship-themed videos when you want to thank a friend.
It’s also recommended if you’re looking for a guitar-and-vocal piece or songs that celebrate friendship between women.

“To My Precious You,” sung by singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue from Kobe, is also a song you’ll want to dedicate to a friend! Its bubbly, smile-sparking pop melody lifts your spirits just by listening.
Her cute, energetic vocals will boost your mood, too.
It can feel a bit embarrassing to say to your best friend, “Let’s stay friends forever,” but with a song that pours out all that love like this, you can express your feelings honestly!
GIVE ME FIVE！AKB48

The title, which means “high five,” powerfully conveys their bright and straightforward youth.
It serves as a graduation song that delivers courage and strength to a best friend running through youth together.
The fast-paced sound expresses a resolve to move forward into the future side by side, evoking a sense of feminine bravery.
Tears Surprise!AKB48
AKB48 is an indispensable presence when talking about Japan’s idol scene.
As a national idol group, they’re loved by people of all ages.
Among their songs, the one you’ll want to give to a close female friend is Tearful Surprise! released in 2009.
Its funky beat evokes a disco sound, leaving a strong impression.
The melody line feels both nostalgic and fresh, with a bright, celebratory flair.

TwinsCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This is a song by the collaboration unit of CHiCO, whose outstanding singing truly shines, and the popular creator team HoneyWorks—one you’d want to give to a dear female friend.
Girls’ friendships are full of endless conversations every day, and we talk about everything from studying and work to love advice, right? In some ways, she might even know you better than your boyfriend does (lol).
That’s how important and inseparable our female friends are.
This song captures that kind of friendship with a pop sound.
Assertion of the HeartCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This song, by the collaboration unit of the outstanding vocalist CHiCO and the popular creator team HoneyWorks, carries a very weighty theme: bullying.
During adolescence, we sometimes struggle with relationships.
We may not yet be able to accept people who are different from us or to consider others’ feelings.
We want to become the kind of people who can properly acknowledge someone’s pain.
That’s what friendship is all about, isn’t it?
