After hearing this song, you’ll likely want to make up right away.

This is “Forever Friends,” sung by singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi.
The upbeat melody combined with Takeuchi’s gentle voice warms your heart just by listening.
The lyrics portray eternal friendship between women, and they bring to mind friends with whom you’ve always shared your worries and laughed over silly things.
It’s a song you’ll want to dedicate to a friend who’s always been on your side, unchanged since the old days.

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.
BLUE BIRDHamasaki Ayumi
This song, which evokes a summer sea under a wide blue sky, reminds me of the summers spent with dear friends.
If work or school has kept you busy and daily life has worn you out, listen to this track to recall happy moments and refresh your mood.
THANK YOU feat. JamMAY’S
MAY’S’s “THANK♥YOU feat.
Jam” is a song that expresses feelings for a treasured female friend who’s always by your side through good times and bad.
Included on the 2009 album “Dreaming,” this collaborative track features Jam, the vocalist and rapper of the music unit faith.
It’s filled with heartfelt gratitude for a friend you can truly call a “best friend”—someone who always listens, sometimes gives tough advice, and is there no matter what.
It’s a song that promises an unchanging bond and says “thank you” for everything so far to a best friend you want to cherish forever, whatever may come.
My Best FriendTiara
It’s a song about vowing to make our dreams come true and thinking of the friends we’ve been separated from.
The singer, Tiara, moved to Tokyo right after graduating from high school.
Perhaps she sang it while overlaying her own feelings.
The high notes in the chorus are very beautiful, making it a gentle, soothing track.
