If I sing to the sky175R
While it’s a classic coming-of-age song that looks back on youth spent with dear friends as each person goes their own way, it also portrays the pain of being bound to your youthful self and unable to move forward as you wish.
It resonates with a sense of both the preciousness of memories and the weight they can carry within us.
On a wedding day—the start of a new chapter—it seems to remind us that while it’s important to look back on memories, it’s just as important not to be overly attached to them and to keep our eyes on the road ahead.
My dear best friendShonan no Kaze
This is a song by Shonan no Kaze that was also used as the theme song for the film “Drop.” It vividly portrays the relationship with a best friend—starting from an initial bond built on repeated intense fights, to the days spent together after coming to understand each other.
It conveys a sense of admiration for someone you can truly call a best friend.
Precisely because that friend shines so brightly, the lyrics—like a story—resonate as the narrator steps away to search for their own identity.
It leaves the impression of a song about resolve and setting out on a journey, making it perfect for new beginnings.
one’s true feelingssumika
This is a song by the four-piece rock band sumika, released in 2021.
Chosen as the support song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, its lyrics are striking for the sense of camaraderie and hope for the future they convey.
Though there were times when we nearly lost heart, we were able to overcome them because our friends were by our side—looking back on those memories, the song expresses a warm message of renewed gratitude to the friends who gave us strength.
It’s a perfect song for a send-off, evoking hope for what lies ahead.

It doesn’t meltmakaroni enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu is a rock band formed in 2012 at Senzoku Gakuen College of Music in Kanagawa Prefecture.
This song was produced for Glico’s new web video “Kizuna o Tsunagu Seventeen Ice.” Watching the music video, which lets you look back on your youthful days, brings back all kinds of memories.
Its sound is both sentimental and sprightly—truly one of a kind.
Tricky guitar tones and keyboards dart throughout the track, and the chorus cranks the rock vibe up to the max.
In the latter half, a key change transforms the atmosphere, adding a funky arrangement.
As you dig into the lyrics, you’ll probably feel like reconnecting with old friends.
I’ll call your name.SUPER BEAVER
This is a song by SUPER BEAVER released in 2021.
It was also used as the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers.
Both the lyrics and the sound convey a powerful expression of feelings for someone important, which resonates with the themes of the work itself.
It’s a touching song that straightforwardly expresses gratitude for having met, the sentiment of sharing the same time even in ordinary, everyday life, and how the feeling of cherishing someone grows stronger as time passes.
Goodbye, see you.ET-KING
It’s a passionate friendship song that looks back on the days and feelings we’ve shared, and instead of parting with just a simple “goodbye,” it sends off our friends and ourselves with words that believe in meeting again.
While the lyrics evoke the image of a departure or graduation, the song also carries a warmth that feels perfect for a reunion.
At a major milestone like a wedding, as we give thanks for the miracle of being reunited with dear friends, it’s precious time to laugh together and reminisce about all those old memories—just like the lyrics of this song.
KizunaORANGE RANGE
A friendship song that gently warms the heart I recommend is ORANGE RANGE’s “Kizuna.” It’s a ballad whose slightly nostalgic atmosphere pairs perfectly with its orange hue, and it’s said to be a “song of the bonds of friendship” dedicated to the departed member KATCHAN.
With a melody that wraps you in a sense of comfort, it evokes hometown pride and the feeling of home, while lyrics about friends far away deepen your feelings for them.
No matter how far apart you are, being able to meet and talk just like the old days is kind of wonderful, isn’t it? It’s a great choice for conveying your feelings at a wedding celebration or on a birthday.
