Songs about male-female friendship. A roundup of friendship songs about irreplaceable bonds (61–70)
primary colorsYOASOBI
This song became a hit after being featured in a Docomo commercial.
It’s a work by YOASOBI, a music duo at the forefront of the J-pop scene, released digitally in 2021.
It was created based on Yuichiro Komikado’s novel “RGB.” The four-on-the-floor sound with a sultry vibe is seriously addictive, and ikura’s gentle vocals are absolutely lovely.
The lyric “Even if we live different lives, I’m sure we’ll meet again” makes it perfect to dedicate to a friend who lives far away.
Stand-Up SisterYU-KI
YUKI often sings sweet and cute love songs, but it seems she wrote this one to dedicate to a dear female friend.
Within the strong message of “stand up,” the song is filled with YUKI’s unique worldview of living naturally and freely.
Women are beautiful even when they cry or act selfishly.
That’s why this is an anthem for women—don’t give up on various things, don’t be swallowed by the world, and live powerfully.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
A song that makes you want to listen in the summer and brings back memories with friends: “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~.” The girls’ band ZONE released it in 2001, and it became a big hit.
The lyrics feel as if they depict our own friendships exactly as they are, so many people can relate.
Whether you’re still close or have grown distant, listening to this song vividly revives memories with the friends you spent your youth with.
Friend(s)☆★azu
A song that says, “Even many years from now, I’ll simply wish for your happiness.” If the relationship between two people becomes something wonderful, then even the most modest meeting turns into a precious memory.
Being able to feel that the moment you met was irreplaceable—that’s truly fate, isn’t it?
A promise beyond wordssana / HoneyWorks
“You’re not fighting alone.” This song makes you feel that way.
Even if you argue and hurt each other, it makes you want to deepen your friendship.
It’s a song that inspires the feeling that, no matter the distance, you’ll rush over anytime.
It shows how significant friends are.
It makes you ask yourself whether you have a friend you’d be willing to protect, even if it means getting hurt yourself.
And it makes you realize that the friendship you hold in your heart continues even as you grow older; after listening, you’ll probably feel like calling an old friend.
Friendswacci
Wacci is a rock band that rose to fame primarily on the internet.
The song that first brought them popularity was a bittersweet, gently emotional love ballad, but this track shifts gears completely into a poppy, catchy anthem about friendship.
Don’t you also have all kinds of friends around you, dear reader? As you listen, you’ll likely find yourself picturing their faces, feeling grateful for having met them, and recalling the memories of the fun you shared together every day.
Stay by my side.Yuika
Before we knew it, we were getting together, chatting about nothing in particular, sometimes even arguing… It’s a nostalgic number filled with a straight-from-the-heart feeling for friends.
The song is by the singer-songwriter Yuika, whose popularity took off from video-sharing sites, and it was released in 2021.
It drew attention for being chosen as the theme song for the film “Natsu, Futari” (Summer, Us Two).
The emotional tone—band sound colored by the beautiful timbre of the piano—leaves a strong impression.
The sound alone tightens your chest.
Some things don’t need words to be understood, don’t they?
