I won’t forget the days with you.Te ga kuriimu pan
This is a ballad by Te ga Cream Pan that gently weaves together cherished memories with friends and wishes for the future.
While carefully depicting everyday scenes and the times you supported each other, it sings of an eternal bond.
The clear vocals and gentle piano tones create a warm song that resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in March 2022, the piece was selected as the opening theme for TBS’s Drama Stream series “Papa to Musume no 7-kakan” (Seven Days of a Daddy and His Daughter), garnering widespread empathy.
It’s a perfect song to gift as a slideshow of treasured photos, or when a heartfelt farewell approaches—such as graduation or moving away.
The lyrics, filled with affection for friends, are sure to reach the recipient’s heart.
If I’m with youLittle Glee Monster
It’s a heartwarming song that sings of the preciousness of friendship—“Even with doubts and anxieties about the future, if I’m with you, I can overcome them.” Little Glee Monster’s beautiful harmonies and powerful vocals add even greater depth to the melody.
Released in June 2021, the track carries a message with extra weight, grounded in the members’ experiences of taking a break and returning.
When we stand at life’s crossroads, everyone has moments when they realize the importance of dear friends.
This is a song that gives you the courage to take each other’s hands and move forward together at times like these.
no planRozarīna
A song by Rosalina that celebrates the preciousness of friendship.
The lyrics, which depict the everyday moments shared with friends, resonate deeply.
You can feel the sentiment: “Even without a plan, just being with you is enough.” It’s included on the album “sweet ring” and was also used as an insert song in the film “Aibō na Keiji Returns.” The music video, released in May 2024, features Rosalina’s real friends, capturing the natural feel of their friendship.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to cherish the time spent with dear friends.
Because we’re friends.Ochiai Wataru
Ochiai Wataru’s graduation song “Tomodachi Yakarane” (“Because We’re Friends”) lets you look back on the precious times you shared with friends throughout school life.
It vividly portrays days with treasured friends—talking about crushes, laughing at jokes only friends would get, pulling little pranks together, and having fun after school.
Precisely because you’re such close friends, parting is painful and can feel overwhelmingly lonely.
Even so, like in this song, look forward to the day you’ll meet again, promise an unbroken friendship, and set off with a smile on your new paths!
My friendSpoon
Spoon is a male-female duo music unit based in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, made up of Megumi and Kosuke.
You probably have a best friend you treasure, and this song portrays exactly that kind of bond.
If you’ve spent many years together, you’ll know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, the good parts and the not-so-good parts.
With that in mind, it’s a heartwarming friendship song about taking each other’s hand and getting through tough times together.
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.
Maybe because we’re friends.Koresawa
A friendship song I especially recommend to young women is Koresawa’s “Maybe Because We’re Friends.” It’s by the female singer-songwriter whose heartbreak ballad “Tobacco” became a big hit.
While “Tobacco” expressed a breakup between a man and a woman in an achingly sad way, this song is the opposite—very poppy and cute! That’s the biggest reason I recommend it to young women, and the words in the lyrics are packed tightly with the scent of youth.
It’s a song that makes you cherish even more all the times you’ve spent together—the moments you laughed, the moments you cried, and all the time you’ve shared up to now.
