With gentle vocals and a catchy melody, it celebrates cherished memories with loved ones and the preciousness of bonds.

A message song by B’z expressing their gratitude, also included on the album “B’z The Best Pleasure II.” It was used as the theme song for TV Asahi’s broadcast of the 2004 Athens Olympics, so many people might think, “Oh, that song,” when they hear it.

The lyrics can be interpreted as saying, “You must not stop moving forward.

A victor may be lonely, but they aim even higher,” while also hinting at appreciation for those who offer support.

It’s a moving piece, making it a perfect choice for background music at farewell or appreciation parties.

Jam9 “Family” full version – on sale June 23 – featuring gal-mama model Hina Ako

A song of gratitude from a son to his mother, “Family.” Many men probably have memories of rebelling in various ways as kids and making their mothers sad or even cry.

When we become adults, we think, “Why did I do that?”—but during adolescence, you just don’t understand.

If you’re an adult now and have come to recognize your mother’s kindness and how important she is, please send her this song.

I’m sure she’ll smile through her tears.

Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.

Morning Musume. “Happy Summer Wedding” (MV)

A song that could be called a quintessential early Morning Musume track, with 4th-generation members Tsuji, Kago, Ishikawa, and Yoshizawa added.

The Arabian-inspired vibe in the music and costumes—though inexplicable—has that delightfully offbeat, idol-like charm.

You’d expect the lyrics to follow that line with themes like “a boyfriend my age or a senior I admire…,” but in a classic Tsunku♂ twist, it turns into an expression of gratitude to one’s parents.

If you’re shy about saying “thank you” face-to-face, singing this at karaoke as a gift could be a great idea.

It’s such a bright, cheerful song that it’s also wonderful for siblings to sing together!

Because we’re friends.Ochiai Wataru

Released by Wataru Ochiai in February 2022, this piece has also become popular as a graduation song.

Gratitude for the days spent together, the loneliness of setting out on a new path, and the hope of meeting again are depicted alongside the soothing tones of piano and acoustic guitar.

It has gained attention on social media, and more people are humming it at graduation ceremonies and at moments of parting with friends.

This track is recommended for those who want to express feelings they can’t put into words before saying goodbye to a dear friend.

Thank You / feat. Yuzuki Yukari

The more you think, “I’m going to stand on my own as a working adult,” or “I’ll become a proper grown-up who doesn’t trouble anyone,” the more you can suddenly find yourself feeling worn out or overcome by loneliness… That happens, doesn’t it? This song will gently stay by your tired heart: “Arigatou,” a Vocaloid track produced by Kasamura Tota.

Released in 2018, it’s a ballad whose piano tones and gentle vocals really sink in.

How about gifting it, with gratitude, to someone who’s helped you?

I can’t put it into wordsSakamoto Maaya

Maaya Sakamoto “Cannot Put Into Words” Music Video (Short Ver.)

This is a song by Maaya Sakamoto, who is also active as a voice actress, singing about feelings for someone precious.

It was used as the ending theme for the anime “Ascendance of a Bookworm: I’ll do anything to become a librarian.” The Celtic-tinged sound that matches the atmosphere of the work and the lyrics that seem to portray the emotions at the moment of setting off are striking.

Along with the loneliness of being apart from someone important, the song conveys a deep gratitude that couldn’t be fully expressed, resulting in a piece that radiates a strong sense of gentleness.
