A Birthday Song for High Schoolers Whose Friendship Grows Deeper (31–40)
Best FriendNishino Kana
A heartfelt ballad by Kana Nishino that straightforwardly conveys feelings of friendship and gratitude.
Set to a gentle melody, it warmly expresses precious memories shared with a best friend and a bond of trust that never changes.
It resonates with the feelings for an irreplaceable person—someone you can sometimes encourage and sometimes be completely honest with.
Released in February 2010 and used as the campaign song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’09–’10,” this piece is perfect for moments when you want to express thanks before parting from a close friend, or when you want to reaffirm the ties with dear companions.
It gently teaches the beauty of friendship and the importance of conveying gratitude, and is sure to become a memorable song.
Birthday songAAA
“Birthday song” is a birthday track included on the 2012 release 777 ~We can sing a song!~.
It’s a song that evokes the image of everyone heartfeltly celebrating and saying thank you and happy birthday for the kindness and courage we always receive from those close to us.
When celebrating a birthday with classmates or friends, following the song’s example by having each person share a few words of thanks for everything up to now might make the birthday person really happy!
Tears Surprise!AKB48
When it comes to AKB48 birthday songs, it has to be “Namida Surprise!” The lyrics themselves describe setting up a surprise for the birthday person, so it’s the perfect track if you want to surprise a friend with a celebration! Play the song while you’re just hanging out, then guide the bewildered guest of honor to the birthday venue.
When they realize that everyone had been secretly planning it, they might be so moved they’ll burst into tears!
HAPPYBUMP OF CHICKEN
The birthday song “HAPPY,” which many people say brings them to tears when they hear it, is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 15th single, released in 2010.
It’s a very positive song that acknowledges reality.
I think it’s a track that gently stays close to those who are trying to keep living, and it’s sure to touch your heart when you listen.
Birthdays are special days for everyone, but sometimes you can feel down even on your birthday.
At times like that, send this song instead of saying “happy birthday.”
Today is My BirthdayBerryz Kobo
If you’ve got a friend you can joke around with, I recommend sending them Berryz Kobo’s “Today is My Birthday.” As the title suggests, the lyrics are about one’s own birthday, so it’s really a song best listened to on your own birthday.
But if you give it to a friend you can kid around with, they’ll probably turn it into a laugh with a playful comeback.
Of course, it’s also great to listen to or sing yourself when it’s your own birthday.
