A number by flumpool produced in 2011 as the set piece for the NHK All-Japan School Music Competition (Junior High School Division) and also broadcast on “Minna no Uta.” The bond with friends is something invisible to the eye, but the time spent together and the days of crying and laughing side by side surely remain in our hearts.

This work sings about that unseen yet undeniable certainty that we are companions.

It peaked at No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was also included on the album “experience.” Not only the fun times, but even the clashes—everything was necessary to deepen the bond.

It’s a song that gently gives a push to friends facing life’s milestones, such as graduation or moving on to the next stage.

The song “Hanakotoba,” which entrusts friendship to flowers, is a warm, heartening track.

It was released digitally by Warner Music Japan in July 2025.

With lyrics penned by Neil, the magical words that encourage a downcast friend are truly moving.

The refreshingly cool synths and tight beats also bring out the clarity of the vocals.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants to believe in a friendship that remains unchanged, even when you’re apart.

Friends Tomorrow Too ♡ Yui Nishiwaki [Doraemon 50th Anniversary]
Friends again tomorrowNishiwaki Yui

Even if you quarrel with a friend, being able to make up right away with a smile is truly wonderful, isn’t it? This piece, crafted by Yui Nishiwaki, is a heartwarming song that portrays the straightforward friendships of children.

Released in October 1992, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Doraemon until April 1995.

It’s also well-loved as a graduation song for kindergartens.

There are days when we get angry, but the lyrics—set to a bright, pop melody—remind us that being with friends is the best, and they resonate deeply.

This song brings back the importance of facing others with sincerity when we’re worn out by the slightly complicated relationships that come with adulthood.

Give it a listen when you want to look back on those nostalgic days spent with friends!

All the members of the group are from within Kobe City and have a strong love for their hometown.

As proof of this, many of their songs to date are about their local area.

This is a classic song by Ketsumeishi that wishes happiness for a friend leaving their hometown to pursue dreams and goals.

Parting with friends you’ve grown up with is lonely, but supporting those who choose their own path is an important role too.

Even if you live far apart, friendship doesn’t change, and you can always rely on each other when needed.

As it looks back on many shared memories, this song reaffirms that unshakable bond.

Released as a single in February 2002, the track is also included on the landmark album “Ketsuno-Police 2” and was used as the ending theme for the TV program “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.”

A heartwarming medium-tempo ballad by Dai Hirai.

Like the moon and the Earth, even if they’re not always side by side, friends are beings who illuminate each other—this song reminds us of that.

The gentle melody woven by acoustic guitar and piano feels like a “gift” from treasured friends.

Released as a single in February 2019, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Chronicle of the Moon Exploration, and is included on the acclaimed album THE GIFT.

When you’re parting from dear friends due to graduation or a job transfer, why not send them this piece? It quietly conveys the unspoken wish: “Stay well until the day we meet again.”
