A song by SG that I want to give to a dear friend.
As the title suggests, it’s a warm message song themed around the bond with a friend deeply connected at heart.
Life brings many partings—graduations, turning points—but this song straightforwardly sings about an unchanging friendship despite distance, and the hope of meeting again.
Released as a single in March 2022, it resonated with many people, ranking high in LINE MUSIC’s real-time music video charts.
Known for “Bokura Mata,” SG penned this track in his own words, offering not only the sorrow of parting but also the courage to look ahead.
It’s perfect as BGM for graduation season, as well as for times when you want to express gratitude that’s hard to say, or when you’re thinking of a friend far away.

It’s an emotional message song that sings of the loneliness of parting and the hope that we’ll meet again someday.
Performed by Arashi, it was included as a B-side on the 2007 single “Happiness.” The lyrics make you realize that you are who you are today because of the time you spent with your best friend.
It really warms your heart.
Please consider giving this song to someone important to you.

Bond.haji→
Haji→’s friendship song that conveys the passionate bond between men.
A friendship where you can call each other the best kind of person is wonderful, isn’t it? Even if you’re doing nothing special, even if there are times when you’re apart, you still understand each other—and sometimes you can clash honestly.
This song reflects on the many days spent with such friends and expresses a feeling for a friendship that will never fade.
The intensity this song gives off suits male friendship more than female friendship.
Try gifting it among male friends.
