The song feels like we’re at a glamorous party with our girlfriends.

Things don’t always go our way, but that doesn’t matter—let’s do it our way, just as we are! It’s a positive lyric that says we can affirm ourselves and keep facing forward again and again because we have our friends.

Song of a Friendyuzu

Back when we were students, we were always together and could laugh about anything, but as adults, everyone goes their separate ways and sometimes it feels like we’re being crushed by society.

This song is about pausing for a moment, remembering those silly yet precious times with friends, and deciding to smile again starting tomorrow.

Friend’s PoemNakamura Ataru

Friendship between men and women is difficult, and this is a deeply moving song that, once you start thinking about it deeply, you just can’t stop.

If love is only going to cool and disappear someday, I can understand wanting to stay just friends.

I resonate with those complicated feelings—like hoping that a friendship between a man and a woman can last—and I want to sing about that beautiful charm.

It was released in 1994 as Chisato Moritaka’s 21st single.

The song was used in a commercial for Asahi Draft Beer “Z.” It’s about falling for the same person as a friend, and in the end the friend starts dating him, but the song overflows with a gentle feeling of celebrating the friend’s happiness.

There’s frustration and sadness, but even more than that, it’s a song that makes you want to be someone who can celebrate a friend’s happiness.
