Happy Birthday SongMakihara Noriyuki1rank/position
On your birthday, you should be the first one to celebrate yourself! Before heading to the birthday party, the perfect song to celebrate yourself with is Noriyuki Makihara’s “Happy Birthday Song.” It was included on the 2001 album Home Sweet Home.
Though life can be tough, the belief that good things will surely come depending on your own actions is depicted through Makihara’s characteristic words and storytelling.
On this day when you’ve turned a year older, it inspires you to tackle things anew with a fresh spirit.
The thing I wanted mostMakihara Noriyuki2rank/position
When I listen to this song, I somehow feel like I’m going to cry.
The lyrics are like a story, so I get drawn into that world.
It’s a song that fills you with warmth, making you wonder what you want most, what kinds of things exist in this world, and how you might encounter them.

When you’re raising a child, you can’t help but think, “I want them to grow up like this,” or “I want them to learn this and that,” and all sorts of desires start piling up.
But children don’t have excessive expectations of their parents.
If you just listen to them or hold them, that alone makes them happy.
Even without asking for much, this song reminds me that, in truth, just having them healthy and by your side is enough to make you say, “Thank you!”

Here is SMAP’s 35th single, released in 2003.
It sold over two million copies and became the best-selling single of the Heisei era.
It has since been covered by many artists.
Inspired by Buddhist thought and the story of The Little Prince, this song seems to carry the hope that, even upon reaching one’s 60th birthday and without necessarily leaving further achievements in life or work, one can take pride in being oneself and live joyfully.
