Ballad #J-pop Best Friend Juliet Lyrics Romaji Lyrics
best friendJuliet

I happened to be somewhere they were doing a live show by Juliet, and that’s how I first found out about them.

They’re so cute, and their songs have many relatable lyrics—I became a big fan.

This song in particular makes you want to listen with friends and grow closer.

I especially recommend it for girls.

This song is perfect for expressing friendship.

Released in July 2021, it was also used as the theme for NTT Docomo’s “ahamo” commercial and is based on the novel RGB.

Considered one of YOASOBI’s signature works, it vividly depicts a heartwarming story in which three friends who had grown apart reunite after 15 years and rediscover their bond.

It beautifully conveys the power of friendship—that hearts remain connected even when apart—paired with a melodic composition.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who has experienced parting from or reuniting with a friend.

It’s also recommended as background music for message videos or slideshows to express your feelings to someone special.

It’s a refreshing song that feels like a clear, youthful scene unfolding before your eyes.

Created through a collaboration between whiteeeen and GReeeeN, this piece features a gentle melody that tenderly embraces the delicate emotions of a girl with an unrequited crush.

Released in May 2017, it was also used as the CM song for Shiseido’s SEA BREEZE.

You want to express your honest feelings to that special someone, but you just can’t.

This is a song that stands by everyone carrying that frustrating sentiment.

It’s perfect for coloring precious moments with friends, so why not add it to your playlist and create shared memories together?

A song about human connections and bonds, this new piece from yosugala is set for release in March 2025.

It weaves gentle compassion into its melody, expressing the desire to find a small light in someone facing hardship and to stay by their side.

The sound, crafted by members of the band AliA, delivers an emotionally stirring resonance.

The song was first unveiled at a solo concert held at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 8, enveloping the audience in a warm sense of awe.

As an ambitious follow-up to the albums “YOMOSUGARA” and “YOMOSUGARA 2,” it has garnered strong support from many fans.

It’s a reliable companion for moments when you want to deepen bonds with teammates at school sports festivals or field days, or when you want to encourage someone important to you.
