Beloved daysyangusukinii
This song, featured in the 2023 Seventeen Ice commercial, is the ultimate friendship anthem that offers one answer to what true friends are.
In response to someone who said, “I can’t help but notice only the annoying parts of my friends,” Kayayu replied, “I think a true friend is someone whose annoying parts you can love too,” and it’s said the lyrics were written based on words from a close friend.
It’s true—when you’ve been friends for a long time, you start to see plenty of things you don’t like about the other person.
But you also realize those traits are part of their identity, and it’s precisely because of who they are, including those flaws, that you’ve stayed close.
Set to a mid-tempo rock sound, its unpretentious take on friendship is something many people will surely relate to.
