My Best FriendLittle Glee Monster
A bright, poppy Little Glee Monster-style number that sings about friendship between girls.
From their beautiful harmonies, the members of Litte Glee Monster always make you feel the strength of their bond, don’t they? It’s a song that takes the hand of a friend whose vibe has turned a bit off since she got a boyfriend and gently tells her, “It’s okay to be more like yourself!” As friends, you can feel the wish that she absolutely be happy.
Why not give this song as a gift to a dear friend for whom you wish happiness?
It’s okayji ma ma
This is jimama’s 9th single, released in 2009, which also drew attention as a commercial jingle.
She sings words addressed to someone dear with a natural, somewhat simple vocal style.
The acoustic sound matches her voice, creating a heartwarming feel.
If you laugh at the skywacci
It’s a friendship song that says, “Because I have you, someone precious to me, I can keep moving forward toward the future.” The track is by the pop-rock band wacci and is included on their third album, Gunjo Refrain, released in 2018.
With its relaxed tempo, warm sound, and vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi’s straightforward singing—music you could even call “beautiful”—it sinks deep into your heart.
Surely you, too, have a friend who feels just like the lyrics describe.
ParadiseNiziU
NiziU’s “Paradise” marks a departure from their usual poppy dance-tune image.
The song was chosen as the theme for the animated film Doraemon: Nobita’s Sky Utopia.
Each vocal part feels warm and gently enveloping, a comforting number that soothes anxious feelings.
Pay attention to the lyrics too—they’re perfect to listen to with a trusted, beloved best friend.
Maybe they’ll lead the two of you to a wonderful paradise.
Friends and DreamChekkāzu
Fumiya Fujii, whose singing voice remains unchanged to this day, has had many fans since back then.
This is “Friends and Dream,” the 21st single released in 1989 by The Checkers, the band where Fujii served as frontman.
Perfect as a graduation song, this track celebrates male friendship.
While friendship songs often feel like youthful anthems for younger generations, this one hits deeper when you listen to it after you’ve grown up—it’s that kind of friendship song.
It would be wonderful to sing at a class reunion or during karaoke with friends you haven’t seen in a while.
proofflumpool
Now a standard graduation song beloved by many students, this track is one of flumpool’s signature pieces.
Some of you may even have sung it as a chorus at your graduation ceremony.
The song portrays friends setting off on separate paths to pursue their own dreams, making it a perfect fit for the graduation scene.
Though they’ve fought many times, they made up just as often and shared countless laughs.
It carries a message of friendship—“Let’s encourage each other when we feel like giving up”—and listening to it brings back memories of dear friends and fills your heart with warmth.

My friend,taiyozoku
Highly recommended for those who want to passionately convey overflowing gratitude to a friend is Taiyouzoku’s “Tomodachi yo” (“Friend”).
It’s included on the album Taiyou.
It’s a song for the friend who shares memories with you in every season and at every moment.
It’s packed with gratitude for having met you and for staying close ever since, and with the hope that you’ll keep being there from here on out.
The lyrics straightforwardly express that gratitude, so it’s especially recommended for people who feel a bit shy about saying “thank you” outright.
Send it with warmth and love—just like Taiyouzoku!
