Queen are a British rock band that deliver a one-of-a-kind sound beyond the boundaries of any music genre.
Their 1975 release “You’re My Best Friend” is a heartwarming track that lets you truly feel the beauty of friendship.
A lively, organ-like piano tone rings out, and the emotive guitar phrases by Brian May punctuate the melodic band sound.
Written and composed by bassist John Deacon, the song is a moving message dedicated to his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff—why not lend an ear to it?

An early masterpiece by RADWIMPS, whose popularity has soared even more through their collaboration with director Makoto Shinkai.
As the title suggests, it’s a song themed around youth—one you’ll definitely want to listen to while you’re still a student.
The opening lines are in English, but most of the lyrics are in Japanese, so try listening while following along with the lyric booklet.
If you really take in the words, you’ll feel inspired to cherish the present with your friends.

eternityBENI93rank/position
BENI’s “Eien” evokes a resolve to keep supporting our friends and doing our best together forever.
Released in 2012, the song was used as the theme for the drama “Honjitsu wa Taian Nari.” While the lyrics depict a couple pledging to be together eternally, it also makes you feel that friends, too, should help and encourage each other and stay close for what feels like eternity.
With a warm, spring-breeze-like melody, this is a song that makes you want to reaffirm your wish to remain close with friends bound by a bond as strong as that of spouses or couples.
BEST FRIENDSMAP94rank/position
SMAP has sung more timeless hits than you can count, but this song, in particular, enjoys fervent support from fans.
It was the B-side to the 1992 single “Makeruna Baby! ~Never give up,” and it gained attention after being broadcast on NHK’s music program Minna no Uta.
Originally written as a song from a child to their mother, the lyrics were later changed to make it a message song to a friend.
Although it wasn’t a single, it became widely known because it was often performed at pivotal moments in SMAP’s career.
If you want to express gratitude to a friend, this is the one.

It might be fun to revisit your memories with a friend in chronological order, tracing your shared history.
