[A moving friendship song] For dear friends and best friends. Songs of friendship that make you feel the bond.

Friend ~I’ll never forget you~AiM

AiM – Friend ~Itsumademo Wasurenai~

It’s a friendship song also known as the ending theme of the film “Digimon Adventure 02: Revenge of Diaboromon.” The song has a gentle, subdued atmosphere, and its clear, pure vocals leave a strong impression.

In the lyrics, the singer looks back on memories shared with a friend, conveying the message that “even if we’re apart, we’ll always be friends.” Not only does the unwavering bond of friendship before parting move the listener, but many will also relate to the everyday moments with friends depicted in the lyrics.

My friendSKELT 8 BAMBINO

Sukeruto Eight Bambino – My Friend

SKELT 8 BAMBINO’s “My Friend” delivers a warm bond to cherished friends who are doing their best in different places.

It reflects on the many memories shared with friends and expresses the hope of meeting again.

When you move to a different place, it becomes harder to see each other and that can feel lonely.

But as long as you both stay well and keep trying, you’ll definitely meet again someday! If things get tough, remember the days you spent with your friends—just like in this song—and draw strength to keep going.

When you’re feeling lonely because you can’t see your friends, it’s also recommended to share your feelings in different ways and listen to this song together with them.

The Day I Became a JewelBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “The Day It Became a Jewel”

It is included on the album “Butterflies,” released by BUMP OF CHICKEN in February 2016.

The song was also featured in a Calpis Water commercial.

With its refreshing arpeggio intro and uplifting chorus, it leaves a strong impression, and the lyrics, which depict everyday, ordinary moments turning into something special, resonate deeply.

It is a song that stands beside those who have experienced parting with someone important or who carry a sense of loss, affirming those emotions while giving them the strength to move forward.

King Gnu – BOY

BOY, sung by the popular rock band King Gnu.

This is their third single, specially written as the opening theme for the anime Ranking of Kings.

Just hearing the upbeat rhythm lightens your heart, and the violin-driven melody brings a sense of richness to your soul.

It’s a rousing message song you’ll want to send to a friend who’s been struggling to get through each day and has little room to breathe.

Even when something unpleasant happens, listening to BOY is sure to leave you feeling refreshed!

If I had been living aloneSUPER BEAVER

SUPER BEAVER "If I Had Lived Alone" MV

Released in June 2020 and known as the theme song for the film “The Footprints of Water” (Mizukami no Flight), this SUPER BEAVER track is a heartwarming song that gently conveys the importance of human connection.

Its lyrics, which depict the joys and frustrations that come from our ties with others, and above all, the encounters with those who become most precious to us, resonate deeply with many listeners.

Marking the band’s notable return to Sony Music Records, the song reached No.

6 on the Oricon Weekly Charts.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you wish to stand by someone you care about, or when you want to cheer on a loved one standing at a crossroads in life.

[Ado] Sunflower

As a song to give to a female friend, I recommend Ado’s “Himawari” (Sunflower), from an artist who never stops and keeps up a powerful pace.

Unlike her usual shout-like, forceful pleas, this track largely holds that back and offers a more gentle, tender listen, so it feels a bit different from her previous songs, doesn’t it? The lyrics, which tease out the delicate side of women—like “It’d be easier if I could live more skillfully,” and “Things would go better if I were more proactive”—are likely to resonate widely as well.

Please do listen to it together with your dear friend with whom you can talk about anything!

MY FRIEND ~Thank you~Bekkī♪#

Becky♪♯ – MY FRIEND ~Thank You~

It’s a piano-centered ballad that tugs at anyone’s heartstrings, an emotional piece that expresses feelings for a friend.

Framed with the scenery of “parting,” the lyrics use “darling” as a keyword and carry a powerful sense of realism that extends beyond thoughts of “friendship” to encompass feelings for one’s loved ones—family, partners, and other important people.
