It’s a song by Ketsumeishi that straightforwardly expresses heartfelt congratulations for a loved one’s birthday.
The lively tones of piano and brass evoke the fun atmosphere of a birthday party.
The relaxed rhythm is also striking, conveying the warmth of celebrating someone close and savoring happiness.
Its message—that it’s important to reflect on the past and feel gratitude toward those around you—is perfect for a birthday.
By sharing feelings of celebration and thanks through this song, that sense of happiness may grow even greater.
birthdayKumaki Anri
This song, “Birthday,” which simply conveys gratitude and thanks for being born into this world, is well-known in the Kansai region as the tune used at the end of the news during the segment that introduces babies born that day.
It’s a perfect song for parents to give to their children, and I really relate to the lyrics.
Good Child’s Birthday SongUeda Marie
If you’re looking for a birthday song with a heartwarming piano tone and a sophisticated pop arrangement, I recommend a track by singer-songwriter Marie Ueda.
Released in September 2020, this song was born from a special project in which Ueda composed and completed it within 25 hours to celebrate her own 30th birthday.
Carried by the piano’s gentle melody, it conveys the excitement of facing a birthday cake and a warm message about cherishing this once-in-a-lifetime day.
It’s perfect for celebrating in a calm, intimate atmosphere rather than at a lively party.
Consider choosing it as background music to quietly convey your heartfelt feelings to a dear friend or partner.
Letter ~Dear Fifteen-Year-Old Me~Anjura Aki
A masterpiece that candidly captures the anxieties and struggles unique to teenagers, “Tegami ~Haikei Juugo no Kimi e~” was released by singer-songwriter Angela Aki in 2008.
Set to a beautiful sound of piano and vocals, it sings about the importance of facing yourself.
It’s perfect for sending encouragement on birthdays to friends, partners, or family.
From children to adults, people in many different walks of life can deeply relate to its lyrics.
Give it a try and deliver a performance filled with powerful yet beautiful emotion.
Mr.BirthdayYamazaki Aoi
Mr.
Birthday, sung by singer-songwriter Aoi Yamazaki, is a song born from an unconventional production process: creating it together with fans during a live stream.
In your late twenties, you may find it harder to genuinely rejoice at the words “Happy Birthday,” which you welcomed with delight every year when you were younger—many people have experienced receiving birthday wishes with mixed feelings.
But when you listen to this song, it will help you rediscover your birthday as a purely special and happy occasion.
Celebrating a birthday is a wonderful, joyful thing at any age!

Your Song for YouKawasaki Takaya
It’s a heartwarming song that exquisitely weaves together the grand history of the universe and encounters between people.
With Takaya Kawasaki’s gentle vocals and the warm sound of an acoustic guitar, it carefully threads feelings for someone special.
Originally included on the July 2018 album “I believe in you,” the track was re-released by Victor Entertainment following an indie release from S-Rise Music/Flying Voice Inc.
While invoking a vast sense of scale—such as the world’s population and the history of the cosmos—it sings of the miracle of meeting the one you love.
It’s perfect not only as background music for creating a birthday surprise video, but also as a BGM choice for expressing gratitude to a dear friend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYMONGOL800
An early song by MONGOL800, included on their first album released in 2000.
It’s a classic track that still gets the crowd excited at live shows.
Although the lyrics are in English, it’s such a feel-good song that I recommend reading the Japanese translation as well—perfect for birthdays.
