A ballad by Lugz & Jera filled with gratitude and love for someone special.

While expressing thanks for the miracle of meeting, it carefully portrays the inner change of being able to look forward thanks to the other person’s presence, and conveys deep love and resolve through the story—from a time of loneliness to a vow to walk together.

Included on the April 2017 album “Sing For Love,” this piece is notable for its gentle tone with R&B elements.

It’s a recommended song for those who want to send heartfelt thanks that words alone can’t fully express at important milestones such as birthdays, graduations, and weddings.

It’s a gentle, warm song of gratitude that sings, “It’s because I was with you that I have so many memories.” Created by the musical duo YOASOBI—composer Ayase, who is also active as a Vocaloid producer, and singer-songwriter ikura—it was released digitally in 2020.

The piece was produced based on Osamu Suzuki’s novel ‘Tsuki Ōji’ (The Moon Prince).

The lyrics feel as if the words are overflowing from the depths of the heart, and simply reading them can make you happy.

A mid-tempo ballad by Brand New Vibe, distinguished by a warm melody that gently wraps feelings of gratitude for a loved one and lyrics filled with deep affection.

With vocals that sink deep into the heart, it expresses the preciousness of life and the appreciation for family, partners, and friends that we tend to overlook in everyday life.

Released in June 2012 and included on the album COLORS, this song has continued to be cherished as one of the band’s signature tracks.

Its lyrics, which remind us of the importance of kindness and love, are sure to warm hearts at meaningful moments when you want to express gratitude, such as graduations, weddings, and birthdays.

The chorus, where “thank you” is repeated over and over, is strikingly memorable, and I bet many people think of this song when they hear “a song of gratitude.” As such a classic thank-you anthem, its lyrics convey appreciation for dear friends and companions who have supported one another.

And since it’s a song by SMAP, a beloved national idol group, its versatility is a major appeal—it fits any occasion.

It’s an easy choice for gatherings like a friend’s birthday or a wedding, where many people come together.

Among FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ songs, this one is especially popular, and you may know it’s also beloved as a graduation song.

The lyrics express gratitude to friends who have faced difficulties together while striving toward a shared goal, making it a perfect choice to dedicate to teammates bound by strong ties at times like graduation or retiring from a club.

Reading the words, it also feels ideal for the important people who have supported you in other ways, so I think it’s often used at weddings as well.

Thank youSUPER BEAVER

SUPER BEAVER is a four-piece rock band known for lyrics filled with words that resonate with the heart, as in “Hitori de Ikiteita Naraba.” This track is one of their fan favorites, often played at live shows and festivals.

The lyrics are filled with many expressions of gratitude, and I think it’s a perfect song for a man to dedicate to a woman.

It’s great for a boyfriend to give to his girlfriend on an anniversary to show everyday appreciation, and it’s also recommended for a groom to express his thanks to the bride at their wedding.

It’s a moving “thank-you” song packed with gratitude you’ll want to convey to someone special—thank you for meeting me, for supporting me, for being by my side.

Even if one isn’t the person chosen, it conveys a positive feeling of gratitude for the joy and growth that the encounter brought.

Unlike typical heartbreak songs, it resonates deeply with its stance of embracing past love as a cherished memory.

Included on the album “TIME,” this piece was created as the theme song for the film “366 Days,” set for release in January 2025.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those who have experienced parting with someone dear and wish to hold those memories as a source of strength.
