Thank youMACO
This song is included on her major-label debut album, “23,” released in July 2014.
She has said that she wrote it after losing a dear friend to illness.
The lyric video ties closely to the words and unfolds like an emotional drama—it’s a real tearjerker.
It’s a ‘thank you’ song that makes you realize all over again how important it is to properly express your gratitude.
BFFMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, which sings about the importance of friendship, charms with its heartwarming melody and relatable lyrics.
It gently speaks of the beauty of bonds and mutual support between close friends.
Included on the album “ANTENNA,” released in July 2023, it has become one of the popular tracks that captivates audiences at live shows as well.
If you find yourself caught up in daily life and forgetting to appreciate those who matter most, why not listen to this piece with friends or family and take the opportunity to reaffirm your bonds?
Best FriendNishino Kana
When you want to express gratitude to a dear friend, how about Kana Nishino’s “Best Friend”? Its catchy, memorable melody makes this mid-tempo piano ballad incredibly easy to listen to.
The lyrics, which recount experiences with her own close friend, inspire you to cherish your friendships forever.
Try taking a moment to thank your friends again—perhaps on graduation day.
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.
far; distant; by farGReeeeN
A song filled with heartfelt emotions.
It carries deep love and gratitude for family and friends, as well as a determination to embark on a new journey.
Released as a single in May 2009, it was also used as the theme song for the film “ROOKIES: Graduation.” It is included on the album “Shio, Kosho” and the best-of album “ALL SINGLeeeeS ~& New Beginning~.” The song opens with imagery of nature—scenes passing by the window, the spring breeze, and cherry blossoms—and expresses the anticipation of reuniting with someone important.
It’s a track we hope those facing major life transitions, such as graduation or starting a job, will listen to.
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.
