What is your favorite “thank you” song?


Recochoku

Topping the list was Ikimonogakari’s hit song “Arigatou,” which – as its name implies – expresses a person’s gratitude toward a loved one. Nishino Kana’s song, “Best Friend”, was also popular with voters because of its lyrics, which thank a close friend for being there through thick and thin.

01. “Arigatou” – Ikimonogakari
02. “Best Friend” – Nishino Kana
03. “Arigatou” - SMAP
04. “dear…” – K
05. “My Girl” – Arashi
06. “Himawari” – Yusuke
07. “Arigatou” – FLOW

  • YukiNozofan

    Ikimono gakari’s arigatou is a good choice <3 I was surprise to see Eternal there <3 Jin :D

    Nice list but I choose 5×10 over My Girl for Arashi. And Thank you by Home Made Kazoku also great thank you song.

    Yes. I like 5×10 the most. It is really touching.

    (I don’t really listen to any of these people so I’ll just share my own favorite ^^)

    Probably Ayu’s RED LINE ~for TA~ (though it’s caught between like an encouraging song and a thank you like song ^^) “Virgin Road” by Ayyu kinda comes off as a thank you song too… it was a song for her mother I heard ^^

  • blackdevil2722

    Niceee list. Ikimono gakari’s Arigatou is by far my fave thank you song because of its wonderful lyrics, melody & Kiyoe Yoshioka’s voice. Rest of the artists & thank you songs up there are absolutely brilliant too ^_^

    As many others mentioned 5×10 should have been on the list instead of My Girl(eventhough I love My Girl), 5×10 is really touching and beautiful!

  • AMNOS

    Agree with everyone who says it should of been 5×10 rather than My Girl!
    It’s such a great song that they wrote for their fans to say Thank you ^^
    Luv those guys <3

  • arashi_oneday

    Arashi’s “5×10″ for me <3 My eternal favorite thank you song <3 I never get tired of listening to it <3 It's a song that I can listen to for hours on repeat (and I have xD) <3 I was expecting 5×10 to be there actually. My girl's pretty good too but 5×10 tops all for me <3

    Arashi’s 5×10 is a great song but i would prefer “Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi”, kansha is more way better in my opinion,

    “Domo arigatou, Mr. Roboto….”

  • imoyaki

    Although she may not be famous, I find Kokis’s Arigatou to be one of the best thank you song. You can feel how beautiful it is even if you don’t speak Japanese.

    I 100%ly agree with this pole! Kekeke… :D Nice job to whoever did the pole! ^^

  • fenderstratt

    Wow, my picks were way off. I’d say “Thank You” by Home Made Kazoku, “Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi” by Arashi, or “Happy Summer Wedding” by Morning Musume.
