We on SaturdayLiSA
This is a masterpiece that beautifully captures the brilliance of friendship and youth.
It sings about the preciousness of spending time with friends on Saturdays, free from the busyness of weekdays.
LiSA’s powerful vocals bring courage and hope to listeners.
Released digitally in October 2022, it was also included on the album “LANDER,” which came out in November of the same year.
Chosen as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “Zoom In!! Saturday,” this track is recommended for anyone who wants to cherish weekend time with friends or celebrate their daily efforts.
LiSA’s warm voice is sure to soothe your heart.
Hey, my friendMr.forute
This song beautifully depicts the invisible bonds of friendship.
Written and composed by Mr.
Furbte’s vocalist, Tsukasa Inao, it was released as an advance digital single in January 2021.
Later included on the album “sweet life,” the track sets the precious ties between friends—and the ups and downs they overcome together—to a refreshing melody.
Starting in September of the same year, it was also chosen as the theme song for the Twitter drama “Itadakeba, Totoshi.” sponsored by the Nisshin Seifun Group, drawing attention as a track that colors the “delicious” moments of youth.
When you’re struggling to make memories with friends or want to express gratitude to your cherished companions, this song will be a reassuring ally.
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!
A friend is a friend!Berryz Kobo
This is a song about friendship by Berryz Kobo, charmingly performed with lively energy over a catchy idol-style melody line.
The childlike lyrics fit the music perfectly, making it an easy listen that people of all ages can enjoy without overthinking.

BEST FRIENDGReeeeN
BEST FRIEND is a track released exclusively via digital distribution in March 2013 by the vocal group GReeeeN, known for hit songs like Ai Uta and Kiseki.
It has been used as the commercial song for Tokyo Individualized Educational Institute and as the walk-up music for Chiba Lotte Marines player Shohei Kato, so many of you have probably heard it.
Why not listen while thinking back on the close friend you always spent your youth with? Things may not be like they were back then, but this song will surely bring those memories rushing back and make you want to meet up and talk again!
my friendHY
It’s a song by HY called “Tomodachi” that enjoys strong popularity even in the realm of nostalgic hits.
Its relatively easy-to-listen-to melody line and straightforward lyrics are striking.
The pleasantly resonant melody shines a light on youth and deepens the bonds of friendship.
dear my friendHi-STANDARD
This song captivates with its fast-paced melodic hardcore sound and heartwarming lyrics about friendship and reunion.
It powerfully expresses the joy of living and the unchanging strength of bonds, even when apart.
Featured on Hi-STANDARD’s album “MAKING THE ROAD,” released in June 1999, the track became a major hit, selling over one million copies in Japan and abroad.
With energetic guitar riffs and highly message-driven lyrics celebrating friendship and the joy of reuniting, it has won the hearts of many listeners.
It’s a moving choice for a friend’s birthday or wedding gift, as well as for those memorable moments of reconnecting with a longtime friend.
