Pixar Animation Studios’ flagship series Toy Story is also popular as one of the best tear-jerking friendship films, with friendship as a key theme.

When it comes to the signature theme song that colors the series, it has to be the classic You’ve Got a Friend in Me, known in Japanese as Kimi wa Tomodachi.

Written by the great American singer-songwriter Randy Newman for the first film in the series, released in 1995, You’ve Got a Friend in Me has continued to be used throughout the series, performed by various artists.

Some may also remember that in the Japanese dubbed version it was sung by Diamond Yukai and even released as a single.

With its country flavor, laid-back tempo, and ensemble, the lyrics are a straightforward ode to friendship that needs no clumsy explanation.

And having a friend who delivers a message as simple as “You can relax—I’ve got your back” is truly a wonderful thing.
