Carried by a gently embracing melody, their fresh vocals resonate beautifully.
Released in July 2023, the track also drew attention as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Sky Utopia.
It celebrates the greatness of friendship—supporting each other while cherishing your true self.

Dear FriendsSOULHEAD
Released in 2007 as SOULHEAD’s 13th single.
It was chosen as the theme song for the 2007 film “Dear Friends,” and its lyrics are linked to the film’s content.
True friends are those you can believe in no matter what happens.
The song conveys a deep, passionate bond of friendship and the resolve to live life together.
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.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
A song that makes you want to listen in the summer and brings back memories with friends: “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~.” The girls’ band ZONE released it in 2001, and it became a big hit.
The lyrics feel as if they depict our own friendships exactly as they are, so many people can relate.
Whether you’re still close or have grown distant, listening to this song vividly revives memories with the friends you spent your youth with.
Flaremilet
The song I recommend gifting to an irreplaceable female friend is “Flare.” It was released in 2022 by milet, a singer-songwriter whose solid vocal ability captivates listeners, and it was used as the second cour ending theme for the anime Ranking of Kings.
The track resonates with dynamic orchestral tones, and her powerful singing lends even greater conviction to the warm lyrics.
The words overflow with kindness, likely bringing back memories of the hard times and the fun times you’ve shared together.
It’s also a great song to use as a chance to express your gratitude to your friend.
Dear my friendsshela
Released in 2005 as shela’s 13th single overall, this song was used as the theme for the drama “Magarikado no Kanojo” (Her at the Turning Point).
It captures that feeling of coming to the big city to chase a dream, yet almost being crushed by loneliness and anxiety—and how much it means to have a friend who encourages you over the phone.
It’s a song that gives you the strength to look ahead and think, “I’ll work hard toward my dream—for that friend, too.”
Letter: Dear Fifteen-Year-Old MeAnjura Aki
Every time I listen to this song, my heart trembles.
It’s a letter addressed to my future self, but it’s also a song I’d like to dedicate to a dear friend.
I want to tell my best friend who’s struggling right now that the future shines bright—let’s get through this together.
For women with many worries, Angela Aki’s gentle voice feels healing.
And I want not only women but all friends to listen.
