Happy BirthdayNishino Kana
This is “Happy Birthday,” the birthday song included as the second track on Kana Nishino’s 2014 single “We Don’t Stop”! The lyrics portray someone running around and thinking of ways to celebrate a loved one, along with the exciting atmosphere of a birthday party.
It’s perfect for welcoming the guest of honor or as background music for a video showing the party preparations at a birthday celebration! It’s a song that conveys how you feel—“Thank you for being born!” and “I’m so happy we can celebrate together!”
TwinsCHiCO with HoneyWorks
A girls’ friendship song that depicts everyday life—this is “Twins” by CHiCO with HoneyWorks.
It’s a feel-good friendship tune that makes you giddy just listening, and I think many women will find themselves nodding along with “so true!” Even if you didn’t think much of what you said at the time, it often turns into a cherished memory later.
Girls’ chatter never ends, but this song may jolt you with realizations and bring back memories of things like, “Oh yeah, that happened too.”
Best FriendKiroro
Speaking of Kiroro, many of their songs are so popular that they’re even sung at school graduation ceremonies, making them perfect for scenes of friendship and bonds.
Each word carried by their gentle melodies resonates deeply in the heart.
The song “Best Friend” introduced here expresses gratitude for the trusted friend who was there to help during hard times and brought back a smile.
Listen to it while thinking of your beloved friend, and when you see them next, try sharing your everyday appreciation.
My Best FriendLittle Glee Monster
When you’re a student, you often spend almost every day with your close friends or your significant other—during classes, breaks, after school, on the way home, and even in your private time, right? Because you’ve shared both the happy and the tough moments together, I think it’s wonderful that you can keep smiling no matter what happens.
Little Glee Monster’s “My Best Friend,” just as the title suggests, is a bright and poppy song about your number-one friend.
Like the members having a blast in the music video, let’s sing this song and forget about the bad stuff!
Happy BirthdayNEWS
Happy Birthday, NEWS’s 10th single, was released in 2008.
Since the song was used in a commercial for the cosmetics brand KOSÉ, many people might recognize the chorus and think, “I’ve heard this before!” It celebrates a loved one’s birthday as a once-a-year special event, capturing all the excitement and emotions packed into one song.
It’s a perfect birthday tune not only for a boyfriend or girlfriend, but also to give to friends.
