Thank youFLOW

FLOW’s gentle, sweeping ballad “Arigatou” is perfect for when you want to express gratitude to someone who’s always by your side.
The drama-style music video features actors Yuriko Yoshitaka and Yoji Tanaka, among others.
Even when you’re going through something painful or difficult and feel alone in the dark, having someone who supports you nearby lets you sense a single ray of light.
The song conveys the feeling of thanking that precious person—the one who always rescues you from the darkness like that single beam of light.
Who is the person in your life who supports you like a guiding light? It’s a heartfelt thank-you song you’ll want to dedicate to someone who sincerely cares about you.
Small palmAqua Timez

You only realize what’s truly important after you lose it.
I think that’s an experience everyone has.
Aqua Timez’s song “Chiisana Tenohira” makes you feel, from the heart, that instead of realizing the value of precious things or people after losing them, you should recognize their importance now and be grateful.
Released in 2007 as Aqua Timez’s fifth single, it carried the tagline, “The more you listen, the more it makes you cry.” True to that line, the song reveals its depth the more carefully—and repeatedly—you listen.
THANK YOUFukuhara Miho

If you want to express gratitude to that special person who stays by your side in tough times and scolds you when you’re off track, Miho Fukuhara’s “THANK YOU” is the perfect choice.
Included on the album “Music is My Life,” this song was used as the theme for the drama “Paji: The Love Story of a Grandfather and His Granddaughter,” starring Shiro Ito.
It conveys a profound sense of gratitude to someone who has supported you and brought light into your life.
It’s also perfect as background music for expressing thanks to your parents at a wedding.
Why not use this song to convey your overflowing gratitude to the parents who have always been on your side and supported you from the bottom of their hearts?
Bond.haji→

Haj→’s “Kizuna” is a song that lets you express gratitude to friends bound by a strong bond who can always clash honestly with you.
Friends connected by a deep bond support each other at any time, take your side, and even if you fight, you can make up right away.
Even without words, you can read in each other’s expressions when something’s weighing on your mind… With friends like that, you sometimes feel a bond stronger than family.
With friends who always understand and support each other like this, your heart is overflowing with gratitude that words can’t fully express.
Why not use this song to convey those overflowing feelings?
Thank you, thank you.Kawasaki Takaya

It’s a ballad that sings of pure love—feelings so deep they can’t be contained by the single word “thank you.” Written by singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki, also known for his hit “Magic Carpet,” the song was included on his second album, Calendar, released in 2021.
With only acoustic guitar and vocals, its simple arrangement lets every word in the lyrics pierce straight through.
Being able to care about someone this much is truly wonderful, isn’t it? Be sure to gift this song to your partner.
Ten thousand thanksfumika

The much-talked-about song “10,000 Times Thank You” is a collaboration between comedian Taketo, who published Today’s Harassment Bento, and fumika.
Speaking of fumika, songs like “Feel it” and “Hurrah! Hurrah! You!” are real pick-me-ups, right? Of course, this song is uplifting too—if you haven’t heard it yet, take your time and give it a careful listen.
You may find yourself matching your own memories to each episode in the lyrics, which read like a letter to one’s parents.
If it were performed at a wedding, you’d probably cry your eyes out.
It’s a moving song that’s perfect for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day—ideal as background music for a party where you express gratitude to your parents.
Gratitude StudiesMOROHA

MOROHA’s appeal lies in songs that capture intense emotions and raw, real feelings.
Their track “Onraku” is packed tightly with that same realism.
While rap often conjures an image of fast tempos and aggressive sounds, this song feels like it speaks gently and earnestly to your heart.
The title “Onraku” is a play on the word for “music,” and it weaves in emotions that only someone who has lived their life alongside music can express.
It’s a song that conveys heartfelt gratitude to loved ones—parents and grandparents in particular.
