B.F.F.Kato Miria
A song included on Miliyah Kato’s fifth studio album, HEAVEN, released in 2010.
The title “B.F.F.” stands for “Best Friend Forever.” The lyrics are very profound, and amid the unpleasant experiences and superficial relationships that can occur among girls, they express a wish for a genuine female friend with whom one can be together forever.

As a song that captures the troubled feelings of teens, it’s one that has been embraced by many fans.
Whether it’s about female friendship or a budding crush, you can feel the loneliness and heartache of struggling on your own.
It’s a song you’d want to give to a friend who’s suffering under a tangle of emotions.
I think listening to it can encourage you as well.
Each lyric resonates deeply, and many women can relate to it.
Thank you.Ōhara Sakurako
“No matter how much I thank you, it’ll never be enough!” Don’t you have a friend like that too? This song by Sakurako Ohara—who’s also active as an actress—was released in 2014 as her first solo single.
It’s a warm piece where a light, band-driven sound is wrapped in the tones of strings.
Ohara’s straight, sincere vocals really shine.
If your friend is feeling down or struggling, why not send them this song to lift their spirits?
FriendAiuChi Rina
Girlfriends are people who help you from a close distance that’s different from family or a boyfriend.
Rina Aiuchi’s “Friend” is a song that expresses gratitude to such precious friends.
It was released in 2008 as a double A-side single with “Sugao no Mama.” Set to the sparkling sound characteristic of Aiuchi’s music, it looks back on the memories of support you’ve received and sings of heartfelt thanks.
It also conveys the feeling that even if the two of you walk different paths from here on, your bond won’t change.
If you feel you’ve relied on your friend a lot up to now, why not send them this song to express your gratitude?
Friend ShipHoshino Gen
This is a song from Gen Hoshino’s fourth album, “YELLOW DANCER,” released in 2015, about a slightly complicated friendship.
The song describes a person of the opposite sex who is a very dear friend, yet sits in that delicate space where it’s unclear whether the relationship is something more or not.
Still, it celebrates a wonderful friendship that remains precious, no matter the distance or the label on the relationship.
