DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

This song is perfect for expressing friendship.

Released in July 2021, it was also used as the theme for NTT Docomo’s “ahamo” commercial and is based on the novel RGB.

Considered one of YOASOBI’s signature works, it vividly depicts a heartwarming story in which three friends who had grown apart reunite after 15 years and rediscover their bond.

It beautifully conveys the power of friendship—that hearts remain connected even when apart—paired with a melodic composition.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who has experienced parting from or reuniting with a friend.

It’s also recommended as background music for message videos or slideshows to express your feelings to someone special.

Thank youFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “Thank You”

Thank youFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

A popular song by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS.

It’s a track that makes you want to etch the words “thank you” into your heart once again.

It’s the kind of song you’d want to send to a close friend from your school days with whom you’ve grown a bit distant.

After so many years, if you can honestly convey how you felt back then along with words of gratitude, it will surely become a treasure for life.

For women, when their circumstances change, it can become hard to meet like they used to.

Try sending this to that dear friend.

Sonoko Inoue – “I’m Glad I Met You” (short ver.)

I'm glad I met you.Inoue Sonoko

Inoue Sonoko’s song “Kimi ni Deaete Yokatta,” a popular graduation tune.

Parting from friends you’ve spent so much time with can feel really scary and lonely, right? This song is perfect for expressing gratitude to your friends and telling them, “Thanks to you, I feel like I can keep doing my best.” Feelings that seem too obvious to put into words on a normal day might be easier to say at graduation.

To stay friends from here on out, you’ll want to strengthen your bond with each other, too!
