If you’re planning a surprise birthday party, make sure to use this song as the BGM! It’s a track by the beloved national idol group AKB48, released in June 2009 as their 12th single.

Set in a classroom, the heartwarming theme centers on friends working together to celebrate a birthday with a surprise.

The moment the synth brass and handclaps burst in during the intro, the party has already begun! You can practically see the look of surprise as the guest of honor appears, and the tears of joy that follow.

Use it to help create a once-in-a-lifetime memory as everyone celebrates a dear friend’s birthday together!

This song is popular as a graduation anthem, but if you look at the lyrics, it’s actually a message to anyone embarking on a new beginning! While 60th birthday celebrations often focus on honoring the person and expressing gratitude for all they’ve done, there are also many who are eager to start something new.

In those moments, this song is a perfect fit.

Since it’s a ballad, it’s easy for people in their 60s to listen to, and it can be used in many ways—sung as a gift, or as background music for a video, for example.
