Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN

It’s said that the lyrics were written with the movie’s story as their motif.
Even if we’re apart right now, the song conveys a warm, gentle message to friends—recalling how we became friends, cherishing the memories we shared, and moving forward toward the future with smiles together.
C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h.ONE OK ROCK
This song is included on ONE OK ROCK’s fifth album, Zankyo Reference.
The lyrics are a message to friends who, after entering the working world and getting busy, can no longer meet as often as before.
Even as life changes and time passes, the moments we shared are treasures we want to cherish—that strong resolve comes through not only in the lyrics, but also in the sound, which gradually grows more powerful.
It’s also said that the title is taken from the initials of the members’ friends, further conveying how much they value their friendships.

It’s a song that can be called Road of Major’s signature track, released in 2002.
Its straightforward, powerful sound is striking, conveying a strong sense of youthful energy and hope for the future.
The lyrics resonate with a deep feeling of camaraderie—if you have joyful memories spent with friends, you can surely overcome the sadness of parting when you set off on different paths, and those memories will become something to laugh about when you reunite.
It also carries a message that values the joy of having met over the sadness of saying goodbye.
ReunionRADWIMPS
While looking back on memories with a friend, this song reflects on a precious friendship where we can’t quite remember how we started spending time together—or even how we first met—but before we knew it, we’d been building memories side by side.
The lyrics are striking in the way they seem to tell oneself that the very present, which could be summed up in simple words like “we just happened to be together,” is actually a situation that could be called a miracle—and perhaps this is what youth truly is.
It’s a gentle, soothing track that conveys a relaxed bond—friends who feel easy to be around and put you at ease.
If you laugh at the skywacci
This is a song by the pop rock band wacci, released in 2018.
Because it was used as the support song for the “Japan Tsunagaru Project” within the information program Mezamashi TV, its sound leaves a strong impression with a powerful sense of determination that brings sports scenes to mind.
The lyrics look back on memories with dear companions and warmly convey renewed gratitude.
When you reunite with a close friend, why not convey your thanks straightforwardly without feeling shy?
Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)Yonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu, created with actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.
Having two vocalists emphasizes the lyrics reflecting on the lives of oneself and a friend.
The contrast between the past and the present is moving, as it captures how, amid the pains that unexpectedly come with adulthood, we can’t help but recall the carefree joy of our youth.
It depicts a belief in the things that remain unchanged even as the days pass, and a longing for them.
When we reunite with friends, I hope we can laugh together while searching for what hasn’t changed.
Our TomorrowElefanto Kashimashi
