Mr.Children Friendship Songs: Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Mr.Children 「GIFT」 MUSIC VIDEO
GIFTMr.Children

A popular song that was used as NHK’s theme for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics broadcasts as well as in commercials.

Released in 2008 as Mr.Children’s 32nd single, it’s a message song that makes you reflect on what truly matters in life.

The time you spend worrying about and preparing for a friend’s birthday—that time itself might be the greatest gift to them.

Listening to this song makes you feel exactly that.

Mr.Children “Shirushi” Music Video (Short ver.)

Mr.Children have sung many love songs, but one I especially recommend is Shirushi (Sign).

Its lyrics are beautiful, portraying a calm, mature love that goes beyond passion within a ballad.

I think there are few songs that depict adult romance to this extent.

Song of DepartureMr.Children

Mr.Children’s “Tabidachi no Uta” is a song perfectly suited to the important milestone of graduation.

It served as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and was also used in NTT East’s corporate commercials.

Alongside the film’s backdrop, it inspires hope for the future rather than dwelling on the sadness of parting.

The lyrics express gratitude for encounters and convey a message that celebrates a new departure rather than a farewell.

It’s a song that connects a lifelong bond of friendship not by distance, but by heart.

This moving track—perfect for expressing support and affection for friends—is loved by many generations.

Even when far apart, its powerful message of wishing happiness for friends resonates as a heartfelt ballad.

Special Doraemon × Mr.Children video revealed! Special PV for “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur” – Mr.Children double theme song ver.
BirthdayMr.Children

An upbeat tune with acoustic guitar cutting that will make your heart dance.

It’s the theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur, and it seems to mirror Nobita’s efforts for someone else and the feelings you have for your friends.

As you spend time together, you become more alike—this song brings to mind those precious friends who feel like you’re two hearts beating as one.

It’s so uplifting to listen to that I think it would be really fun to sing together with friends at karaoke! Here’s to making many more wonderful memories!
