BLOSSOMENHYPEN
‘BLOSSOM’ is a song about the bond with ENGENE.
Included on their third Japanese single, ‘Yui -YOU-‘, it’s their first Japanese-language ballad.
With an encouraging tempo and lyrics, it conveys the message that even time apart can deepen precious feelings—something many might relate to with friends as well.
Phrases expressing ‘connections and ties of fate’ that link to the group’s name, along with ENHYPEN’s beautiful vocals, are truly moving.
It evokes a sense of friendship that reassures us of a future where we continue walking together.
GRAB ME -Japanese ver.AB6IX
A pop tune by AB6IX whose Japanese version was released in June 2024.
Its powerful vocals and pop-rock sound are striking.
The lyrics, themed around friendship and bonds, convey the importance of supporting one another.
It feels like a song that can give you the courage to keep moving forward even in difficult times.
One of the members, Lee Dae-hwi, has been actively involved in music production, having worked on IZ*ONE’s songs even before debut.
It might be the perfect track for times when you want to do your best with your friends, or when you want to express gratitude to someone important.
To. UsA Pink
This is a song by Apink, a six-member female idol group.
It’s included on their third album, Pink Revolution, released in 2016.
It’s a soothing ballad with warm vocals and a comforting melody, and the lyrics dwell on the importance of memories.
Memories may fade with time, but when we’re feeling anxious, it’s those memories that give us strength.
The song encourages us to live on with the happiness we felt back then held close in our hearts.
It may especially resonate with those who have been separated from a close friend.
FriendBTOB
A track released in November 2018.
Ilhoon took the lead in writing and composing, with Minhyuk and Peniel also participating.
When you spend a long time together, there are moments when your hearts naturally connect—almost like they understand you even better than family.
Knowing it was made before the leader, Seo Eunkwang, enlisted, and that it seems to portray BTOB’s bond, the feeling of “I need you” quietly resonates.
With its warm melody, it’s a gentle song that feels like a supportive push on your back.
Try listening to it while thinking of your dearest chingu or someone important to you.
FriendsBTS
A masterpiece that Jimin took part in writing and composing, which was completed together with producer Bang Si-hyuk from its once-unfinished form.
It sings about the friendship between Jimin and V, who moved up to Seoul and attended the same school, and were very close.
The two of them are beloved as the unit “95s.” With lyrics about memories with friends, it’s a song that makes you feel the future—vowing to spend even more intense time together than before, even while clashing at times.
The passionate, wish-filled delivery in the chorus is especially powerful!
