Even if you and your friends say, “Let’s stay together for life,” there’s no guarantee that promise can truly be kept.

As each of you walks toward your own dreams, a time will come when you have to take different paths.

In moments like that, this song can make you feel, “We may be apart, but I’ll always be by your side.” It’s the final single released by the idol group BiSH in 2023 before their disbandment.

Its straightforward band sound and down-to-earth vocals are deeply moving.

Putting words to our gratitude for friends can feel a little embarrassing, right?

It lets you savor the joy of meeting many people during school life and finding some of them as friends.
