It’s a hidden friendship song by Yuzu, the acoustic band formed by the duo Yujin Kitagawa and Koji Iwasawa.

This is one of Spitz’s signature friendship songs, which was also used as the theme song for the youth drama Hakusen Nagashi featuring Tomoya Nagase from TOKIO, Miki Sakai, Takashi Kashiwabara, and Kotomi Kyono.
The chorus is really moving.

The lyrics are packed with countless, indescribable moments of youth.

Beloved daysyangusukinii

Young Skinny’s “Beloved Days” is a song about feelings for a dear friend—the kind of friend you want to stay with even if you can’t understand everything about each other.
It’s included on the 2023 EP If Only We Could Find Happiness in Anything.
At school, there are people you click with and people you don’t, and it’s hard to be close with everyone.
Still, even with someone whose hobbies differ from yours and whose opinions rarely align, you might catch an unguarded expression or simply feel an inexplicable vibe and find yourself liking them—and becoming friends.
This song heightens the desire to cherish friends like that forever.
