How to write "Happy Birthday" in Japanese?
For a birthday card to my best friend i would like to write this in Japanese, but i'm not sure how its called.

Answer

In a polite formal way, it would be: 
Happy Birthday = お誕生日おめでとうございます。
I like you very much = あなたのことがとても好きです。

but since it's your best friend, it would be better to write it more frankly as: 
お誕生日おめでとう！君のことがとても好きだよ。

btw, "Happy Birthday" can also be written as "ハッピー・バースデイー" (the same pronunciation but in Japanese) because it's a common phrase.
