Friends (フレンズ) is a Japanese band from Tokyo that began activities in 2015 and was formed on 2015-06-08. The group grew out of a collaboration between ひろせひろせ and おかもとえみ. 長島涼平 encouraged them to turn the project into a band for a one-time performance planned around ひろせひろせ's birthday, and 三浦太郎 later joined on guitar. The lineup came to include ひろせひろせ, 長島涼平, おかもとえみ, 関口塁, and 三浦太郎, and the band has been signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan. Their music spans j-pop, pop, and pop rock, and Friends performed "Yakusoku (約束)", the ED of "Horimiya". After entering an indefinite hiatus on 2020-12-30, ひろせひろせ left the band on 2021-04-30. 関口塁 later graduated from the band after the one-man live "フレンズ ワンマンパーティー! -サヨナラ満塁ホームラン-" on 2024-06-07.
