[For Women] Songs to Give to a Cherished Friend | A Curated Selection of Moving Friendship Songs! (1–10)

sunflowerAdo

As a song to give to a female friend, I recommend Ado’s “Himawari” (Sunflower), from an artist who never stops and keeps up a powerful pace.

Unlike her usual shout-like, forceful pleas, this track largely holds that back and offers a more gentle, tender listen, so it feels a bit different from her previous songs, doesn’t it? The lyrics, which tease out the delicate side of women—like “It’d be easier if I could live more skillfully,” and “Things would go better if I were more proactive”—are likely to resonate widely as well.

Please do listen to it together with your dear friend with whom you can talk about anything!

foreverBENI

This song also drew attention for featuring Naomi Watanabe in its music video! It’s a track by BENI, a singer from Okinawa, released in 2015 as her 26th single.

One of its charms is the upbeat rhythm that puts you in a cheery mood—the bright sound alone lifts your spirits! The message, “Even if we’re far apart, I’m always thinking of you,” is wonderful, too.

It’s the perfect ‘friendship song,’ don’t you think?

“No matter how much I thank you, it’ll never be enough!” Don’t you have a friend like that too? This song by Sakurako Ohara—who’s also active as an actress—was released in 2014 as her first solo single.

It’s a warm piece where a light, band-driven sound is wrapped in the tones of strings.

Ohara’s straight, sincere vocals really shine.

If your friend is feeling down or struggling, why not send them this song to lift their spirits?

When it comes to songs about female friendship, this one is a classic.

No matter how many times I listen, the lyrics that stay close to the heart make my chest tremble.

Why did it resonate so deeply as a song to dedicate to a truly cherished best friend? It’s because the vocalist, Ms.

Tamashiro, wrote it as an expression of gratitude to Ms.

Kinjō, who always comforts her whenever she clashes with others or feels down.

That’s why it’s so moving.

Arigatou – Ikimono-gakari (Full)
Thank you, Ikimono-gakari

A beloved song that gently colored our mornings as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo is Arigato, sung by Ikimonogakari.

When you listen to this song, you naturally feel like expressing gratitude to your dear friends and family, don’t you? It’s a track that lets you rediscover the importance of saying thank you.

Sometimes you clash, sometimes you cry and laugh together—you’ve shared so much time.

It would be lovely to listen to this song again with your girlfriends.

It’s sure to deepen your bond even more!

When it comes to Kana Nishino’s friendship songs, isn’t “Best Friend” the one that comes to mind? The way she straightforwardly sings of gratitude to a friend really hits home.

Why not try conveying those feelings—ones that are usually too embarrassing to say out loud—through a song? The closer you are, like with a best friend, the harder it can be to express your thanks, but let this song give you courage.

It might also be great as background music for a surprise video, like when you’re giving a present!

TwinsCHiCO with HoneyWorks

This is a song by the collaboration unit of CHiCO, whose outstanding singing truly shines, and the popular creator team HoneyWorks—one you’d want to give to a dear female friend.

Girls’ friendships are full of endless conversations every day, and we talk about everything from studying and work to love advice, right? In some ways, she might even know you better than your boyfriend does (lol).

That’s how important and inseparable our female friends are.

This song captures that kind of friendship with a pop sound.
