Your voice
“Kimi no Koe” has long been loved and sung on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” With lyrics that feel like a parent expressing love to a child and a gently heartwarming melody, it’s a perfect song for recitals.
The message that both high and low voices are each wonderful on their own and create a beautiful harmony together is also deeply moving.
It conveys not only a parent’s love for a child, but also affection and gratitude toward friends, making it a great choice for kindergarten graduation ceremonies and thank-you gatherings.
Goodbye, our preschoolShinzawa Toshihiko
Often sung at nursery and kindergarten graduation ceremonies, this song is filled with the warm feelings of watching children grow.
The lyrics were written by Toshihiko Shinzawa, and the music was composed by Hideo Shimazutsu.
The lyrics are packed with memories from life at the school, and listening to the song warms the heart.
Released in July 1996, it has become a beloved staple of graduation songs.
In addition to graduation ceremonies, singing it during everyday childcare activities may create lasting memories for the children.
It’s also nice to sing while thinking together about the meaning of the lyrics.
Friends are a good thing.
Tomodachi wa Ii Monda is a song that makes you once again feel just how wonderful friends are.
It was composed by Takashi Miki, who also wrote Anpanman’s popular songs Anpanman March and Yuuki Rinrin.
Set to a very gentle melody, it sings of the idea that friends are precious people who can support each other anytime, anywhere.
It’s perfect not only for regular singing time but also for graduation ceremonies.
If children who feel sad about parting from their friends at graduation sing this song, it will help them think, “Everyone else is doing their best, so I’ll do my best too.”
Everyone is a heroAI
It’s a cheer song that delivers hope and energy.
The melody is based on a nursery rhyme familiar to everyone, creating a gentle atmosphere that resonates with children’s hearts.
AI’s powerful vocals and the gospel-style melody give children the courage to say, “I can do it” and “Let’s take a step forward.” The piece was created in January 2016 as a song for an au commercial and was included on the album THE BEST DELUXE EDITION.
It’s perfect for school entrance season—a song that naturally brings smiles to children’s faces.
It has the power to tell kids who are nervous about a new environment that everyone is a friend.
Randoseru RunSakushi: Abe Naomi / Sakkyoku: Abe Naomi
It’s a bright, hopeful song that expresses both the admiration of younger children saying “How cool!” to the older kids, and the feeling of “Congratulations” for a new beginning.
With its buoyant rhythm, you can feel the excitement of becoming an elementary school student.
Written and composed by early childhood education specialist Naomi Abe, the piece was included in December 2023 in the song collection “With Feelings of Congratulations: 75 Best Songs for Graduation and Enrollment.” If you’re performing it at a recital, it would be lovely for the children to wear handmade paper school backpacks.
That will heighten their sense of longing and make for a moving stage.
By all means, try singing it at events celebrating advancement or graduation from kindergarten.
