It’s love.V6
This was the fifth single released during V6’s early years.
It had a very bright, refreshing, and upbeat feel, yet for a Johnny’s song at the time it felt quite artistic, which I really liked.
The chorus is easy to remember, making it a song anyone can sing.
DepartureSCANDAL
Now, as a cool girls’ band making a strong impression, they are SCANDAL.
This song, themed around setting out on a journey, bears their distinctive color of music—both bold and delicate—and captivates the listener’s ear.
That is their sound.
Tears SurpriseAKB48
A birthday surprise planned by all your classmates—the perfect scene springs to mind with this AKB48 song, an uplifting tune that makes you happy just by listening.
Released as a single in June 2009, it was also used as the ending theme for the TV show “Ijuin Hikaru no Shinbangumi.” Its heartwarming lyrics charmingly convey everyone’s warm congratulations so directly that the star of the day can’t help but shed tears of joy.
With a festive sound that brings everyone together through handclaps and calls, it’s perfect as BGM for a surprise party.
It also sets a wonderful mood when you’re capturing your best memories with friends on video.

Happy Birthday Song 2 ~Happy Birthday Omedetore~aidoru kyōshitsu
This is the fifth single by Idol Kyoushitsu, an idol group active mainly in Nagoya, released in 2015.
They’re a rare “sushi idol” group, but this birthday song has a catchy, memorable melody.
Their adorably idol-like voices give me energy again today.
Happy! BirthdaaaaaaaayHey! Say! JUMP
This song is included as a coupling track on the regular edition of Hey! Say! JUMP’s triple A-side single “area/Koi wo Surunda/Harutsugedori,” released in 2022.
It’s such an energetic party tune that you’ll wonder if there’s anything more perfect for celebrating a friend’s birthday.
It’s sure to delight a friend who loves Hey! Say! JUMP, of course, but it’s also great for singing with a group to liven up the moment.
It’s a birthday song packed with the feeling of celebrating the star of the day to the fullest.
Thank you for being born.ryo
It begins with a gentle music box tone.
As you listen closely, it’s striking how a heartwarming song gradually comes in.

After all, I’m an idolKoizumi Kyoko
A witty song by Yasushi Akimoto that portrays the ideal and reality of idols with humor! Released in 1985, it was Kyoko Koizumi’s 17th single and was also used as the commercial song for Fuji Photo Film’s Cardia camera.
While presenting a fresh take on how idols were viewed at the time, it skillfully depicts the emotions swaying between the image of a pure, clean-cut idol and a private self.
A gem of a pop tune that brings both laughter and empathy to everyone who loves idols.
