The lead track from the second mini-album “HEARTS GIRL.” The repeating keyboard tones are striking.

It’s a cheer song that says, “No matter how many times you mess up, keep reaching for your chance!”—a gentle piece that gives you a soft push from behind.

Okamoto Emi’s clear, expansive vocals are soothing too, like a supplement for the heart.

Give it a listen when you need some encouragement.

Bedside Musicfurenzu

The song that led to the formation of Friends is Bedside Music.

Hirose Hirose composed it, and Okamoto Emi wrote the lyrics.

It all started when Ryōhei Nagashima listened to the demo tape and suggested turning it into a full song—at that point, Friends hadn’t been formed yet.

It’s a lovely piece that makes you want to listen before bed and soothe yourself.

This song portrays the adorable feelings of a girl in love, set against the backdrop of a date.

The lyrics tell a story, and before you know it, you’re completely absorbed in it.

It’s a track brimming with the sweet-and-sour emotions of young love.

Since Harajuku’s scenery appears in the lyrics, it’s also fun to listen while picturing those scenes.

Friends: “Sorry for bringing it up in the summer, SAY♡”
Sorry for the summer SAY ♡furenzu

The title makes it clear that “Sorry for the Summer SAY♡” is a summer song.

However, the music video surprisingly opens with them dressed as Santa, and that kind of subverting expectations is so typical of Friends.

As a song, it has the poppy, fun sound that’s characteristic of Friends and is perfect for summer.

Perpetual Summer Vacationfurenzu

Eternal Summer Vacation opens with a tropical vibe.

It’s an upbeat dance track driven by Hirose Hirose’s rap and Emi Okamoto’s glossy vocals.

Taro Miura’s occasional lines add a touch of poignancy that’s really wonderful, too.

Maybe because it’s a fun song that amps up summer romance, the music video features all the members dancing, making it a joy to watch as well.

A fun, poppy number that kicks off with a bouncy intro.

It’s a song wishing for everyone’s smiles, and just listening to it will warm your heart and make you smile.

With its bright, friendly melody, kids are sure to enjoy it too! It might be nice to sing along together as a parent and child and simply have fun.
