Birthday songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke and dedicate to someone. Lovely songs for a wonderful birthday.

Your Song for YouKawasaki Takaya

Takaya Kawasaki - Kimi no Tame no Kimi no Uta [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

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.

Good Child’s Birthday SongUeda Marie

Marie Ueda “Good Kid’s Birthday Song” MV

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.

Everyone’s Happy BirthdayAshida Mana

Mana Ashida – Everyone’s Happy Birthday

For a birthday song to celebrate from parent to child and from child to parent, I recommend “Minna no Happy Birthday.” It was released in 2011 by Mana Ashida, who is active as an actress and TV personality, with lyrics and music by Mariya Takeuchi.

With its lively rhythm and colorful melodic lines, it’s perfect for occasions where children sing on their own.

Why not learn the cute choreography showcased officially and deliver both the song and the dance?

threadBank Band

Ito (Thread) — Bank Band

This song is a cover of Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” performed by Bank Band, led by Mr.

Children’s Sakurai.

It’s a wonderful song that offers answers to why we meet and why we live.

Many artists besides Bank Band have covered it, so be sure to check them out.

And of course, Miyuki Nakajima’s original version is fantastic.

pupilaiko

aiko - “Hitomi” (from Live Blu-ray/DVD ‘My 2 Decades 2’)

It’s a gentle song dedicated to a new life.

It’s said to be a famous piece that aiko sent when her friend gave birth.

The lyrics are distinctively aiko’s, and I think I’d quietly sing it myself if I ever have a child.

Happy Birthday To YouOikawa Rin

Rin Oikawa-Happy Birthday

From the very beginning, it’s an adorable song that transforms the room into a sparkly atmosphere! It might be perfect as background music (since all the lyrics are in English).

It’s super cute, so I definitely recommend it for a woman’s birthday party.
