Friends is a five-member co-ed band that debuted in April 2016 with their first single, “Yoru ni Dance.”

In this article, we’ll introduce some recommended songs by Friends!

Calling themselves a “Shinsen-kei” band, Friends’ music is characterized by stylish, easy-to-listen-to sounds.

But the point we most want to recommend is, of course, the comfort of their songs.

No matter which track you listen to, it calms your heart and soothes frayed feelings.

If you haven’t heard them yet, you’re missing out! Take this opportunity to give them a listen!

Friends “Promise” (TV anime Horimiya ending theme)

promisefurenzu

This medium-tempo ballad is marked by a beautiful, memorable guitar riff in the intro.

It’s a song by Friends, a band known for delivering stylish, city-pop-centered sounds, released in March 2021 and chosen as the ending theme for the anime Horimiya.

The emotions that match the anime, the vivid imagery, and Emison’s emotive vocals are deeply moving and make it impossible not to get drawn in.

Even when nothing special is happening, the simple days spent together and the little things might be what bring the greatest happiness.
