A collection of Japanese songs themed around “Friday” [Friday]

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Speaking of Fridays—it’s practically the weekend—so for those who have Saturdays and Sundays off, it’s probably a day you can spend in a slightly more upbeat mood.

That might be true for students as well.

Back in the day, people even used the expression “Flower Friday” to mean you could stay out late because there’s no school or work the next day.

Maybe because Friday has that kind of special vibe, there are lots of Japanese songs that use “Friday” as their theme.

This time, I’ve put together a selection of those tracks to share with you all.

You don’t often get the chance to listen to music from this kind of angle, do you?

Be sure to stick with me to the very end!

Hip-hop MC Izumi Makura, who draws attention with songs that portray the feelings of young women in a down-to-earth way, has also participated in numerous works as a vocalist.

Oaiso, included on her 2017 album Yuki to Suna (Snow and Sand), is a song that depicts real emotions in an izakaya.

It’s crafted as a deep track that unfolds at a mid-tempo pace.

Her soft, airy vocals let you feel the world of the lyrics more deeply.

This track, which resonates with the bittersweet feelings of listeners in love, is also recommended for chilling out.

In conclusion

I think there were quite a lot of Friday songs.

And I definitely haven’t managed to include them all.

What’s more, the number of Friday songs will probably keep growing, so I plan to update this article regularly.
