Miyuhan “Boku no Friend” - TV Size - (TV Anime ‘Kemono Friends’ Ending Theme) MV

My friendMiyuhan

A friendship song by Miyuhan that expresses the feeling of “We’ll always be friends, even after we graduate.” The track was used as the ending theme for the anime Kemono Friends, in which Miyuhan also voiced the sand cat.

With its lyrics, it’s a perfect song to gift to friends around graduation time.

While you see each other every day at school, after graduation it can be hard to meet because life gets busy.

Even so, the song cheerfully sings of the wish to still hang out sometimes and keep being close friends, carried by a refreshing melody.
