Stay by my side. / “Yuika” [MV]

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.

NIGHT DANCERimase

【imase】NIGHT DANCER（MV）

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.

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.

It expresses gratitude to someone important who stays by your side, so it can be used not only for a romantic partner but also for a lyric video dedicated to a friend.

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.
