It might be nice to send it to someone who’s feeling down or a friend who’s anxious about starting a new life.
Even just reading the lyrics—about setting off on different paths yet believing without a doubt that we’ll meet again—brings tears to my eyes.

YOASOBI’s “Haruka” is perfect for the season of farewells and new beginnings.

The song is based on “Tsuki Ōji” (Moon Prince), an original short story written by broadcast writer Osamu Suzuki.
Listening to it brings back memories of school days spent with dear friends, teachers, and lovers.
It’s ideal as background music for graduation ceremonies or for everyone to sing together.
If you’d rather celebrate graduation brightly with an up-tempo track than be swept away by a tear-jerking ballad, this one’s highly recommended.
