A gemlike ballad woven from gently resonant piano melodies and a voice that pierces the heart.
Its poignant tale, depicting farewells to dear ones and the sense of loss that comes with growth, stirs the listener’s soul.
Sarah McLachlan’s expressive vocals beautifully convey the swelling emotions.
Crafted by Randy Newman, this piece was released in November 1999 as part of the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story 2 soundtrack.
It won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and is highly regarded as a milestone in film music.
It’s a song that stays close to your heart when facing farewells and life’s changes.
On a quiet night, if you listen slowly and attentively, you’ll encounter a soul-stirring, moving melody.
My friend — now and forever…Ketsumeishi
This is a heartwarming song that celebrates the importance of friendship.
Released by Ketsumeishi in October 2016, it features memorable lyrics honoring long-standing friendships and carries a message that resonates with many people.
It was also used as the theme song for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! The Great Assault on the Dreaming World,” making it beloved by a wide range of ages.
The music video features the comedy trio Dachou Club, showcasing their long-lasting friendship, which adds to its appeal.
It’s the perfect track for deepening your bond with friends or expressing gratitude to cherished companions.
Wrapped in Ketsumeishi’s warm vocals, why not think of your dearest friends as you listen?
Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a song by BUMP OF CHICKEN that was used as the theme song for the 2011 film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels.
The song recalls a friend who has been separated, with lines like “Don’t forget” and “I want to see you again.” Its sound and lyrics are heartbreaking, but having a friend you remember like this is wonderful, isn’t it? It feels like they were a once-in-a-lifetime friend.
Even if you’re together all the time as students, you drift apart as adults.
Still, surely everyone has a friend who lives on in their heart.
You are my friend.Disney
“You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” created as the theme song for the movie Toy Story, is a heartwarming track that sings about scenes depicting the friendship between the characters.
In school, at work, and in our personal lives, things don’t always go smoothly.
This song delivers a warm, friend’s-eye view message that gently stays close to the feelings everyone experiences.
It’s a classic that celebrates precious friendships that support us not only in happy times but also in tough moments.
Why not send it to cheer up a friend who’s feeling down or to help make a special day even more memorable?
You are my friend.Randy Newman
Going to karaoke to deepen your friendship is wonderful, isn’t it? The song I recommend is “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” It’s a track by Randy Newman, known as the theme song from Toy Story.
In Japan, many people strongly associate it with the version sung by Diamond Yukai.
I’d love for you to try imitating that distinctive singing style.
There’s a spot where you can catch your breath before the big, energetic section, so I think it’s quite easy to sing.
Beast FriendsNishina
Nishina’s 2021 release “Kedamono no Friends” is a song that makes you want to cherish the feelings only friends can truly understand.
There are things—sorrow, loneliness, and even joy—that others might overlook, but friends can recognize because they’re friends.
The song evokes those happy days spent with a friend who’s bound to you by an invisible bond, like a true best friend.
How about singing it together as a way to say, “Thank you for always being by my side”?

It’s a track that lets you feel the bond among the five voice actresses of Aice⁵.

With a light J-pop style, the lyrics vividly depict the everyday lives of young women.
It carries a positive message that love, dreams, and even small worries can be overcome when you’re with your friends.
It’s recommended for anyone who wants to feel the friendship and bonds of youth.
