Friend ~Time to Depart~yuzu
Released in 2013, this song is a classic friendship anthem you’ll want to dedicate to your friends.
It was arranged for the Junior High School division of the 80th NHK All-Japan School Music Competition and also featured on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” so many of you have probably heard it.
The powerful vocals in the chorus feel like a heartfelt cheer.
It’s especially perfect for supporting friends who are moving on—to further education, a new job, or marriage.
The song was originally written as a gift to the staff after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.

This song became a hit after being featured in a Docomo commercial.
It’s a work by YOASOBI, a music duo at the forefront of the J-pop scene, released digitally in 2021.
It was created based on Yuichiro Komikado’s novel “RGB.” The four-on-the-floor sound with a sultry vibe is seriously addictive, and ikura’s gentle vocals are absolutely lovely.
The lyric “Even if we live different lives, I’m sure we’ll meet again” makes it perfect to dedicate to a friend who lives far away.

It’s a Ketsumeishi song about friendship that resonates in the heart.
It’s a coming-of-age song that sings honestly about thinking of your friends.
The lyrics are phrased about bonds between men, but they can just as easily be applied to the strong ties between women.
Please send this song to that special person who has walked with you through tears and laughter.
Friends aren’t just for the good times! True friends are the ones you can share so many things with together.
Friendship earringsNogizaka46
“Friendship Piercing” is a song by Momoko Ozono and Sakura Endo, members of the idol group Nogizaka46.
It’s a gentle friendship anthem that showcases the two idols’ clear, translucent vocals.
It’s packed to the brim with the kinds of words from a friend that make you happy to hear.
Even lines that might feel embarrassing to say out loud don’t feel embarrassing at all when put into a song.
Its straightforward lyrics, full of kindness and affection for a friend, make it a perfect track to gift to someone you care about.
Flaremilet
The song I recommend gifting to an irreplaceable female friend is “Flare.” It was released in 2022 by milet, a singer-songwriter whose solid vocal ability captivates listeners, and it was used as the second cour ending theme for the anime Ranking of Kings.
The track resonates with dynamic orchestral tones, and her powerful singing lends even greater conviction to the warm lyrics.
The words overflow with kindness, likely bringing back memories of the hard times and the fun times you’ve shared together.
It’s also a great song to use as a chance to express your gratitude to your friend.
Far, far awayNoriyuki Makihara
“Tōku Tōku,” included on singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara’s 1992 album Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono (You’re My Treasure), is a piece he wrote with his hometown friends in mind.
As the title suggests, it portrays the friendship between friends who are far apart.
When you leave your hometown and work hard on your own each day, sometimes a single word from a friend can encourage you or even save you.
This song carries that kind of gentle message, so why not send it to a friend who’s far away?
DREAMShota Shimizu
Shota Shimizu’s 15th single “DREAM,” released in 2014.
At first listen, the lyrics might sound like a love song, but it’s actually a message song packed with feelings of deep care for irreplaceable people—be it romantic partners or friends.
Thinking of someone important can help you overcome tough situations and hardships; it gives you strength, doesn’t it? The song expresses gratitude toward that special someone and traces the changes in one’s own heart.
Try listening while thinking of a dear friend.
