HarukaYOASOBI
A moving work spun from the story of a mug that has watched over someone’s half a lifetime.
In YOASOBI’s music-led tale, the mug sometimes illuminates life’s milestones and at other times gently embraces small moments of growth.
Everyday scenes sprinkled throughout vividly reflect the bittersweetness of partings and growing up that everyone experiences.
Released in December 2020, this work is based on Osamu Suzuki’s novel “Tsuki Ouji” (Moon Prince).
It has also been featured as the commercial song for Takara Tomy’s LCD care toy “Puniruns” and as the image song for “Art Aquarium 2021 — Hakata: Festival of Goldfish,” garnering support from a wide audience.
It is a song that stays close to those who have parted with a cherished memento or who are facing a farewell with someone dear.
If I’m with youLittle Glee Monster
It’s a heartwarming song that sings of the preciousness of friendship—“Even with doubts and anxieties about the future, if I’m with you, I can overcome them.” Little Glee Monster’s beautiful harmonies and powerful vocals add even greater depth to the melody.
Released in June 2021, the track carries a message with extra weight, grounded in the members’ experiences of taking a break and returning.
When we stand at life’s crossroads, everyone has moments when they realize the importance of dear friends.
This is a song that gives you the courage to take each other’s hands and move forward together at times like these.

Dear My FriendLittle Glee Monster feat. Pentatonix
They’re getting married and starting a new life, but that doesn’t mean everything will go perfectly.
Sometimes they’ll fight and feel down.
This is a gentle message song meant to make you think, “It’s okay—because that person is on my side.” It’s a collaboration between the girls’ vocal group Little Glee Monster and the a cappella group Pentatonix, released in 2020.
The smooth, pleasant choral work is truly wonderful.
sparklerMAY’S
This is a ballad by MAY’S that gently depicts cherished memories with a best friend and a deep bond like that of sisters.
The soft tones of acoustic guitar and synthesizer enhance a sense of fragility and warmth, like sparklers glowing in the summer night sky.
Released in August 2009 as MAY’S tenth single, it has created a strong sense of unity with fans at numerous live shows.
While carrying the uncertainty of whether they’ll meet again in the future, this work conveys a powerful vow of eternal friendship, making it a recommended song for those parting from a beloved older or younger sister, or for anyone who has made plans to reunite after a long time.
Congratulations on your marriage! feat. MINMIBES
This song was released by BES, who is active as a reggae singer, featuring MINMI.
As the title suggests, it straightforwardly expresses the feeling of celebrating a friend’s marriage.
The lyrics look back on the not-so-smooth journey that any couple is likely to have experienced.
Because the friend often came for advice whenever something happened, the song is filled with a heartfelt “congratulations” that only someone that close could say.
With its upbeat, catchy vibe, it’s perfect as background music for a message video.
Where the bouquet wentchay
This is a song by singer-songwriter chay, written from the perspective of a female friend celebrating the bride’s wedding.
While it wholeheartedly conveys congratulations as a friend, as suggested by the title “Where the Bouquet Goes,” it also sweetly expresses the feeling of “I want to be the next one to find happiness!” If this is the first wedding among your group of friends, it might be nice for all of you to sing this song together as a gift.
Of course, performing it as a guitar-and-vocal piece like chay would also be lovely.
wedding songFujifaburikku
This is a wedding song included on the album “MUSIC,” which the remaining members completed from songs left behind by Masahiko Shimura, the former vocalist of Fujifabric.
There’s also a story that Shimura secretly wrote it for a staff member who was getting married, and you can feel the unadorned spirit of celebration.
The sound is simple, and the lyrics are composed of plain, unembellished words, so the straightforward feeling of blessing comes through, even if a bit clumsily.
It’s a warm song that teaches us there’s no need for roundabout words at a celebration—what matters are honest words infused with genuine emotion.
