This is a ballad from BDZ, TWICE’s first album released in Japan, by the hugely popular K-pop girl group that includes three Japanese members.

The song is said to express the members’ gratitude to their fans.

Since the group has many female fans, it’s also recommended as a song to dedicate to a close female friend.

The members beautifully portray their fans as precious friends who support their lives, and the chorus harmonies are lovely too!

As the title “Arigatou no Wa” (“Circle of Thanks”) suggests, this song is about gratitude.

It’s sung by the singer-songwriter Ayaka, and here too you can enjoy one of her charms—her rich, resonant voice.

The first verse expresses gratitude to her mother, but what I especially want you, the reader, to see is the second verse.

It conveys thanks to a friend who empathizes with her confessed troubles and even cries with her.

I feel this is a story that’s very characteristic of women’s friendships, and perhaps you’ve experienced something similar yourself.

It’s a wonderful song that conveys appreciation to the people around you, and it’s a classic choice for weddings.

Wacci is a rock band that rose to fame primarily on the internet.

The song that first brought them popularity was a bittersweet, gently emotional love ballad, but this track shifts gears completely into a poppy, catchy anthem about friendship.

Don’t you also have all kinds of friends around you, dear reader? As you listen, you’ll likely find yourself picturing their faces, feeling grateful for having met them, and recalling the memories of the fun you shared together every day.

To Hikarimiwa

Hikari e is a song by singer-songwriter miwa that combines clarity and strength.

It’s her ninth single and was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama Rich Man, Poor Woman.

Its appeal lies in a fresh sound that incorporates dance music, overturning miwa’s previous image.

The reassuring line, “No matter what happens, I’ll be here to catch you,” is sure to soothe you.

You may not always be together, but your hearts are connected—why not send this song to a dear friend who means so much to you?

StoryAI

Singer-songwriter AI’s signature song “Story” is such a timeless piece that warms the heart and fills you with strength, isn’t it? I feel like the lyrics leave room for each listener’s own interpretation—what do you think? You can hear it as a love song, or as a song about the bond between parent and child.

And of course, I think it also works beautifully as a song about friendship between women.

You can almost see the episodes of friends confiding their worries to each other and offering support in hard times… It’s a gentle, compassionate, and truly beautiful track.

FluoriteKenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu’s upbeat and catchy song “Fluorite.” The fluorite that appears repeatedly in the title and chorus is called “keiseki” (fluorescent stone) in Japanese, and it comes in various colors such as green, purple, pink, orange, yellow, and clear.

It’s said to be called fluorite because it glows when exposed to heat or ultraviolet light, and it’s a very beautiful stone.

The music video has a strong narrative, featuring a red monster who hands over a piece of fluorite.

It’s something precious, like a good-luck charm.

And it also seems to represent someone important.

A dear friend might be said to be like a talisman that protects you more than anything else.
