ParadiseNiziU
Friendship is wonderful, isn’t it? NiziU’s latest work is a song overflowing with feelings for those precious friends.
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.
When you want to look back on memories with friends or express your gratitude, why not give this song a listen? It’s sure to warm your heart.
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.
My FriendAI
“My Friend” is a song included on AI’s second original album, “ORIGINAL A.I.,” released in 2003.
The lyrics suggest that two dear friends, each with their own dreams, set off on separate paths.
It’s wonderful to have a relationship where, because your friend is working hard, you feel motivated not to fall behind.
This song conveys AI’s gentle feelings toward her friends.
StoryAI
Singer-songwriter AI’s signature song “Story” is such a timeless piece that warms the heart and fills you with strength, isn’t it? I feel like the lyrics leave room for each listener’s own interpretation—what do you think? You can hear it as a love song, or as a song about the bond between parent and child.
And of course, I think it also works beautifully as a song about friendship between women.
You can almost see the episodes of friends confiding their worries to each other and offering support in hard times… It’s a gentle, compassionate, and truly beautiful track.
HappinessChe’Nelle
Che’Nelle is a singer who shines with her beautiful, powerful vocals, and her signature song “Happiness” is widely used at weddings and beloved as a love song.
But when you look at the lyrics, that passionate, profound affection can also be interpreted as celebrating the bond between best friends, right? We may not know Che’Nelle’s true intention as the lyricist, but being able to have our own personal interpretation like this is one of the wonderful charms of music.
It’s a lovely song you’d want to send to a friend who’s feeling down.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE
Past midnight, I want to be the very first to say “congratulations.” This song is a warm anthem to friendship released by DREAMS COME TRUE in December 1993.
With Miwa Yoshida’s rich, glossy vocals, it sincerely sings of the gratitude—those simple “thank yous”—that we’re usually too shy to express.
In March 2014, a 25th-anniversary arrangement was unveiled in tie-in with AEON’s 40th-anniversary song, drawing renewed attention.
It’s a perfect track to send as a musical message to someone special—on a friend’s birthday, an anniversary, or any time you want to convey your thanks.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE
Isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Thank You.” a song that, though powerful, gently lifts our spirits? It’s definitely a number you’d want to dedicate to a female friend who comforted you without a word and supported you.
You’ll relate to the lyrics that capture the casual conversations with you as you comforted me after my heartbreak, and it will no doubt strike a chord.
It’s great for reminiscing about your youth, or for singing together at karaoke with the girlfriends you spent those days with and getting fired up!
