NO BITTER LIFEfurenzu11rank/position
A masterful pop tune whose sound image recalls “NIGHT TOWN,” with the graceful fluidity so characteristic of Friends shining through.
This track was used in the White Belg “#NoBitterLife” campaign and is included on the 2018 album “Kon Patch!” It’s truly a “NO BITTER LIFE” kind of song, about saying goodbye to bitter memories.
The scat-like feel of the intro and outro is happy, and the bright melody and positive message will lift your spirits!
TITLE ROLEfurenzu12rank/position
This is a song that was used as an insert track in the film “Nunuko no Seisen.” Everyone wants to live straightforwardly, right? But no matter what we do, worries arise, and life ends up twisting and turning.
Even so, this song, “TITLE ROLE,” sings about wanting to live true to oneself and to chase one’s dreams.
Behind that desire, there’s surely someone important.
It’s also a song about wanting to grow together with someone you cherish.
Replace ‘i’ with ‘you’furenzu13rank/position
Friends’ song, which portrays the small happinesses of everyday life, is crafted as a mid-tempo city pop track.
Released in April 2019, the song was written as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “What Did You Eat Yesterday?”.
Its melody evokes a gentle yet nostalgic atmosphere, urging listeners to cherish the present days while reflecting on the future and their relationships.
It has a light, buoyant feel that puts a spring in your step.
Listening to this song conjures up scenes where the small happenings of daily life blossom into love and joy, leaving your heart warmed.

The lead track from the second mini-album “HEARTS GIRL.” The repeating keyboard tones are striking.
It’s a cheer song that says, “No matter how many times you mess up, keep reaching for your chance!”—a gentle piece that gives you a soft push from behind.
Okamoto Emi’s clear, expansive vocals are soothing too, like a supplement for the heart.
Give it a listen when you need some encouragement.
Bzz bzzfurenzu15rank/position
From the very beginning, Friends’ “BIBIBI” gets your heart racing with the thrill of budding romance.
You’re instantly drawn into that world of love and completely immersed in it.
Okamoto Emi’s expressive vocals make it irresistible for anyone who swoons over that kind of feeling—it’s a track that convinces you the moment you hear it.
The music video is a fun story where the members, disguised as detectives, try to uncover the true nature of love.
Bedside Musicfurenzu16rank/position
The song that led to the formation of Friends is Bedside Music.
Hirose Hirose composed it, and Okamoto Emi wrote the lyrics.
It all started when Ryōhei Nagashima listened to the demo tape and suggested turning it into a full song—at that point, Friends hadn’t been formed yet.
It’s a lovely piece that makes you want to listen before bed and soothe yourself.
Harajuku 6:00 p.m.furenzu17rank/position
This song portrays the adorable feelings of a girl in love, set against the backdrop of a date.
The lyrics tell a story, and before you know it, you’re completely absorbed in it.
It’s a track brimming with the sweet-and-sour emotions of young love.
Since Harajuku’s scenery appears in the lyrics, it’s also fun to listen while picturing those scenes.
Even beyond the Earthfurenzu18rank/position
One song I’d recommend to anyone new to Friends.
This single track is packed with the band’s brightness.
The soft, enveloping groove is irresistible.
It’s sprinkled with fun, space-themed expressions that make listening to it exciting.
Step out of reality and let yourself sink into this delightful song.
Salt and sugarfurenzu19rank/position
This is “Salt and Sugar,” included on the 2017 album Baby Birth.
While grumbling about the quirks and differences between men and women, it conveys a desire to build a caring relationship where we forgive each other, expressed in lyrics that say it’s okay even if we mix up salt and sugar.
It’s a poppy track that’ll have you nodding along before you know it, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser live.
Sorry for the summer SAY ♡furenzu20rank/position
The title makes it clear that “Sorry for the Summer SAY♡” is a summer song.
However, the music video surprisingly opens with them dressed as Santa, and that kind of subverting expectations is so typical of Friends.
As a song, it has the poppy, fun sound that’s characteristic of Friends and is perfect for summer.
