How to send money to the U.S.

I hope I flaired this right since I can’t see the full text on mobile.

I’m living in Japan right now, and I’m trying to send some money to a friend planning a trip abroad back in the U.S. My issue, though, is that when I look online I see 100 different ways that all talk about how the others are useless or extra expensive.

How can I send some money (likely either a one-time thing or, at the most, very infrequent) to a friend in the U.S. in a way that won’t shatter my mind with fees and hoops to jump through?

If it helps, I’m with a major bank so any options requiring a certain bank would likely be fine.

TLDR: Need to send money to American friend, I’m in Japan. What’s the best way?

edit: since it matters how much is being sent, it would be around $500
