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’ famous and popular songs (1–10)

Dance at Nightfurenzu

With a comfortably free-moving bass, the delicious resonance of electric piano, and crunchy, cutting guitar, each instrument part is stylish and cool in its own right.

Layered together, their allure grows even stronger.

The rich, full-bodied backing vocals also lend the track a deep, savory flavor.

DIVERfurenzu

A pop-tinged track where vocalist Emii Okamoto’s voice matches perfectly.

With a rhythmic accompaniment and light, airy guitar, it’s an easy listen.

It suits a grown-up summer night and lets you sink into a pleasantly crafted lyrical world.

Fun and never tiring—definitely one for repeat.

Even beyond the Earthfurenzu

One song I’d recommend to anyone new to Friends.

This single track is packed with the band’s brightness.

The soft, enveloping groove is irresistible.

It’s sprinkled with fun, space-themed expressions that make listening to it exciting.

Step out of reality and let yourself sink into this delightful song.

NIGHT TOWNfurenzu

A love song painted with the suggestive theme of Tokyo nights.

Its light melody and vocals create an erotic vibe and a nighttime mood.

The music video is breezy yet sophisticated, and it really draws you in.

You could call it a track packed with everything that makes Friends who they are.

Bzz bzzfurenzu

From the very beginning, Friends’ “BIBIBI” gets your heart racing with the thrill of budding romance.

You’re instantly drawn into that world of love and completely immersed in it.

Okamoto Emi’s expressive vocals make it irresistible for anyone who swoons over that kind of feeling—it’s a track that convinces you the moment you hear it.

The music video is a fun story where the members, disguised as detectives, try to uncover the true nature of love.

Salt and sugarfurenzu

This is “Salt and Sugar,” included on the 2017 album Baby Birth.

While grumbling about the quirks and differences between men and women, it conveys a desire to build a caring relationship where we forgive each other, expressed in lyrics that say it’s okay even if we mix up salt and sugar.

It’s a poppy track that’ll have you nodding along before you know it, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser live.

Replace ‘i’ with ‘you’furenzu

Replace 'i' with 'you'furenzu

The ending theme song of the drama What Did You Eat Yesterday?, starring Hidetoshi Nishijima and Seiyō Uchino in a dual lead.

It captures small, ordinary slices of everyday life—love within them, meals shared with someone dear—and makes you realize that such “ordinary” moments are happiness and truly important.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll feel warm and cozy.
