Young PeopleZūkaraderu
There are times when you can’t help but worry, “Will we still be friends after graduation?” That’s when I’d like to recommend Wakamonotachi.
It’s a track released by the three-piece rock band Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
Set to a driving, fast-paced rock sound, it sings of universal bonds and friendship.
Since it’s mid-tempo, it’s easy to use as background music for videos, and its lyrics make it perfect for moments when you want to reaffirm your friendship.
By the way, the music video is edited in a social media style, so it’s fun to mimic that as well.
The Goofy Man’s WayKanjani∞
An energetic track packed with a positive message about overcoming the worries and setbacks of youth.
Beloved by young people across the country as a karaoke staple, its catchy melody makes you move without thinking, and its humorous lyrics lift your spirits.
Released in April 2007, this song has been performed at many concerts and events as one of the band’s signature numbers, continuing to captivate fans.
It’s the kind of song that gives you the energy to laugh off awkward moments and failures.
Perfect for deepening bonds with friends or expressing gratitude, it makes time spent with friends while listening to music even more meaningful.
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!
Dear My FriendsNishino Kana
Kana Nishino is very popular among women of her generation, with many songs that seem to speak for cute feelings of love and bittersweet emotions from a woman’s perspective.
Her song “Best Friend” might be perfect for high school students, don’t you think? As a high schooler, you probably have lots of worries—studies, love, and more.
But with a best friend, you can casually open up and ask for advice.
This song especially packs in the gratitude girls feel toward their friends.
It might be a great one to dedicate to a dear friend.
Dear My FriendEvery Little Thing
This is a signature friendship song by Every Little Thing, the band consisting of Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.
The chorus feels like it speaks not only to the other person but also to oneself, making it a friendship song with a reflective touch.
