HAPPY BIRTHDAYOKAMOTO’S
If a run-of-the-mill birthday song just doesn’t do it for you, I recommend this track by OKAMOTO’S.
Produced with Shigeru Kishida from Quruli, it’s a stylish piece of rock ’n’ roll with a buoyant, irresistible beat.
While it captures the sparkling joy of a birthday, it subtly weaves in a bittersweet perspective on the limited time we have, giving it real depth.
Perhaps it’s precisely because it’s not all fun and games that the presence of someone special feels even more precious.
Included on the album “Let It V,” released in January 2014, the song also drew attention as the theme for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky Chocolate commercial.
It’s the perfect pick when you want to give a friend’s party a slightly more grown-up vibe.
Happy BirthdayPizzicato Five
If you want to add a stylish song to a birthday present for a friend, a Pizzicato Five number is highly recommended.
This limited single was produced in 1996 as a campaign song for the second anniversary of Ikebukuro PARCO, and it falls into the Electronic and synth-pop genres.
With a buoyant, lively beat and a refined melody line befitting a leading act of the Shibuya-kei scene, it’s an irresistible tune.
The song’s urban message stylishly celebrates the day of one’s birthday, which is part of its charm.
Showcasing Yasuharu Konishi’s pop sensibilities and Maki Nomiya’s sweet, gently world-weary vocals blending beautifully, this track is the perfect soundtrack to add a touch of grown-up sophistication to a slightly dressy party.

This is a fast-paced pop number written as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “My Murder Intent Fell in Love.” Created by Vaundy—an artist drawing attention for his multifaceted talent spanning from songwriting and composition to visual work—it was released in July 2021.
Its pleasant tempo and memorable melody line skillfully capture both the thrill of mutual love and the unstable emotions that lie beneath.
Stylishly coloring the complicated phases of love that aren’t just happy, this track is also included on the acclaimed album “replica.” It’s a masterpiece that deftly portrays the many facets of romance, so be sure to check it out.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 MEeill
How about a new kind of birthday song—one that not only says “congratulations” to someone else, but also gently whispers it to yourself? This is a 2022 June release by eill, a singer-songwriter rooted in Black music.
The song explores how hard it can be to truly love yourself, while celebrating the importance of embracing yourself with a heartfelt “congratulations” for making it through another year.
Its melody, tinged with a quiet ache rather than party-like glamour, hits you all the more deeply.
The music video, produced by eill herself, draws you into its delicate world.
It’s a perfect track for a night you want to spend your birthday alone in peace, or for a special moment of self-care.
Happy BirthdayApricot
Kyoko, who also shines as the vocalist of BARBEE BOYS, is known for her powerful, resonant voice.
A perfect birthday song for her is a track released in April 1997.
Written and composed by Shikao Suga, it was selected as the theme song for the theatrical film Detective Conan: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper.
While rock-tinged, it features a refined, forceful band sound with a faintly nostalgic melody that truly hits home.
The lyrics portray the frustration of being unable to fully express one’s feelings, and the heartfelt act of shouting a celebratory message skyward to a loved one far away—sentiments that are deeply moving.
Kyoko’s clear, expansive vocals add a positive hue to the story.
It’s an emotional song you’ll want to gift to a friend or lover living apart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEAnri
Known as the queen of city pop, ANRI crafted both the lyrics and music for this stylish track, which takes the slightly unusual perspective of celebrating not someone else’s birthday, but one’s own.
You can almost picture the scene: at a beach tinged with the feel of late summer’s end, quietly looking ahead with hope while reminiscing about memories with friends.
The song appears on the acclaimed 1993 August release 1/2 & 1/2.
Because ANRI created it herself, it resonates with a personal warmth alongside an urbane, sophisticated sound.
It’s a moving birthday song—just right for anyone who wants to greet their special day with a touch of sentimentality yet a forward-looking spirit as they take a new step.
Happy Birthday to You ~ The Birth of VenusYumi Matsutoya
This is a majestically mythic birthday song by Yumi Matsutoya, a leading figure in Japan’s pop scene.
It’s wonderful not only as a celebratory tune but also for its profound theme of a “second birth,” symbolizing a rebirth into a new self.
The track was included on the album DAWN PURPLE, released in November 1991, and was also loved as the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Albertville Winter Olympics.
The fact that this album achieved the first-ever million copies sold in its initial week on the Oricon charts speaks to the song’s power.
It’s the perfect piece to send, with heartfelt encouragement, to someone dear who is setting out on a new chapter in life, for a truly special moment.
