wacci 'Friends' Short Ver.

This warm, gently drawn song about everyday life with friends is a single released by wacci in March 2020.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Uchi Tama?! Have you seen my Tama?” and was written and composed by guitarist Keiji Muranaka.

The lyrics shine a light on the small, ordinary moments of each day and the unchanging routines, carefully weaving bonds with friends and brimming with a kindness that resonates in the heart.

The melody is lively and pleasant, striking a perfect balance with the slightly bittersweet lyrics to create a superb track.

It also works wonderfully as a theme song for school or cultural festivals—an uplifting, heartwarming anthem that colors a page of youth spent with friends.

Taylor Swift – 22

This is a song Taylor Swift wrote about a time when, even while being immersed in recording, she took advantage of a few unexpected days off to go out with her friends.

She says that, during that time, she was able to forget about work, live freely, enjoy the journey even without knowing exactly where she was headed, and truly feel like an ordinary 22-year-old.

The everyday moments of a 22-year-old woman—chatting and getting excited with friends, dressing up and going out—are cheerfully sung over an upbeat, bright track.
