♬ Original Song – “Yuika” – “Yuika”

Yuika is a singer-songwriter who is active mainly on TikTok.

Her newly written song themed around best friends is “Itsumo Soba ni Iru Hito e” (“To the One Who’s Always by My Side”).

The pop-tinged sound is striking, and the lyrics convey gratitude and affection for a best friend, along with the wish to remain friends in the future.

It’s perfect for making friendship-themed videos to express thanks to your friends.

It’s also recommended for those looking for a guitar-and-vocal song or a track that celebrates friendship between women.

NIGHT DANCERimase

NIGHT DANCERimase

It’s a buoyant dance tune that conjures a vision of the city skyline at night.

Created by imase, a singer from Gifu Prefecture who rose to fame after posting on TikTok, the track was released in August 2022.

Its sound blends a polished four-on-the-floor beat with a subtly nostalgic melody, making it perfect for a chilled-out mood.

The lyrics portray an ambiguous late-night relationship between two people, and the protagonist’s desire to stay together while hiding their true feelings gently resonates with listeners.

The song became the first J-pop track to break into the top 20 on South Korea’s music charts and was later included on his first album, Bonsai.

It’s a number you’ll want to play at the end of the day when you want to forget the noise and unwind.

For friendship-themed videos with your best friend, “Soba ni Ite” is also a great BGM choice.

It’s a track released by Yuika, a singer-songwriter who gained attention after posting on TikTok.

She’s also known for winning the Grand Prix at the TikTok TOHO Film Festival 2021.

The song focuses on female friendship and is crafted to look back on various memories, such as club activities and romance.

Interestingly, the perspective alternates back and forth, so I think it would be lovely to align it with a lyric video with that in mind.

Shut up.Ado

A punk rock sound that thrusts to the forefront, with a roar-like vocal that sent shockwaves through the music industry and a forceful, almost violent melody.

This shocking work channels, with explosive energy, the sense of dissonance young people feel toward society and their determination to resist the expectations and oppression around them.

As Ado’s major-label debut, the track was released digitally in October 2020 and received high acclaim across the board, including winning the Breakthrough Song at the M Television VMAJ 2021.

It’s a song that gives courage—powerfully pushing the backs of those who struggle to express their true feelings and worry about others’ eyes and judgments.

His clear, translucent voice and piano melody can turn ordinary moments into emotional scenes.

It’s also recommended for creating something for a special day or a birthday of someone dear who supported you through tough or lonely times.
