Dance of YouthSenchimirimentaru
A powerful, supportive song by Centimillimental that portrays the preciousness of friendship and emotional growth.
It vividly depicts moving forward step by step with cherished friends—through tears, laughter, and even stumbles.
Released in May 2021, this track is an upbeat tune where a gentle melody, like being wrapped in warm light, intertwines with a driving beat.
When you want to express gratitude to the friends who have stood by you in life’s important moments, sending this song with heartfelt feelings will surely resonate with them.
BFmoumoon
A gently sung theme song by moumoon about a friendship bound by a sister-like, deep bond.
It’s a warm, heartfelt piece that can also be heard as a song about real sisters.
Used as an insert song for the 2014 Fuji TV drama “Dear Sister,” it portrays a two-people, side-by-side relationship—encouraging each other through hardships and sharing joy—in lyrics that weave together English and Japanese.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while thinking of your beloved sisters and family.
sunflowerAdo
As a song to give to a female friend, I recommend Ado’s “Himawari” (Sunflower), from an artist who never stops and keeps up a powerful pace.
Unlike her usual shout-like, forceful pleas, this track largely holds that back and offers a more gentle, tender listen, so it feels a bit different from her previous songs, doesn’t it? The lyrics, which tease out the delicate side of women—like “It’d be easier if I could live more skillfully,” and “Things would go better if I were more proactive”—are likely to resonate widely as well.
Please do listen to it together with your dear friend with whom you can talk about anything!
My Best FriendLittle Glee Monster
A friendship song sung by girls with clear harmonies that handle powerful vocals and advanced a cappella with ease! The lyrics speak directly to those precious friends you can say anything to, set to a lively, pop sound.
If you want to support your best friend, to be there for their worries, let this song give you energy and courage! It will deepen your bond even more!
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 friendSpoon
Spoon is a male-female duo music unit based in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, made up of Megumi and Kosuke.
You probably have a best friend you treasure, and this song portrays exactly that kind of bond.
If you’ve spent many years together, you’ll know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, the good parts and the not-so-good parts.
With that in mind, it’s a heartwarming friendship song about taking each other’s hand and getting through tough times 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.
