In the dawn where cherry blossoms dance again today / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

It’s a wonderful song that captures the feeling of youth and is also popular as a graduation song! It portrays the bonds between friends who have worked hard together toward the same goal.

You may retire from your club activities and, after graduation, go your separate ways, but the message that the bonds you’ve woven up to now will never disappear is truly moving.

Yuzu “Friend ~The Time of Departure~”

Yuzu’s classic “Tomodachi ~Tabidachi no Toki~,” which is also popular as a graduation song, was originally written in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake for the staff who traveled with them on tour.

It’s also a recommended song to listen to at the time of retirement.

This song, which lets you slowly recall the faces of your friends and the times you’ve shared, will etch your irreplaceable youth into your heart once again.

If you listen to it with your teammates, it will surely inspire the feeling in everyone’s hearts that even after retirement, you’ll still be comrades.

SunMy Hair is Bad

My Hair is Bad – Sun

This is one of the signature songs by My Hair is Bad, a rock band known for emotionally resonant, relatable lyrics.

The words capture a positive feeling that anyone can easily imagine.

Without unnecessary embellishment or posturing, the candid, straightforward lyrics are likely why so many young people embrace their music.

Combined with the groove-heavy, fast-paced performance, it evokes the feeling of youth racing by.

Released in March 2024, this track was written as the official theme song for MBS’s 96th Senbatsu High School Baseball Tournament.

It’s a song we hope current student athletes—or adults who once poured their hearts into club activities—will listen to.

Last sceneSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda – Last Scene Lyrics Video

This is the sixth single by Masaki Suda, who is highly acclaimed both as an actor and a musician.

Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Japan Sinks: People of Hope,” the track was created through extensive discussions with singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki, who also worked on Suda’s signature songs “Sayonara Elegy” and “Niji.” The lyrics, which make you feel that the view at the end of a long road is special precisely because of the journey, are perfect for marking the finale of a club activity to which you devoted your youth.

With a spacious arrangement featuring strings that seems to embrace and soothe all the effort poured in up to that point, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to when retiring from your club.

Kitearashi

Arashi – Kite (Arafes 2020 at National Stadium) [Official Live Video]

This is the 58th single by Arashi, a five-member idol group whose popularity as a national favorite has remained undiminished despite going on hiatus in 2020.

The song drew attention for being written by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu and was also selected as the “NHK 2020 Song.” The five distinctive yet harmonizing voices, paired with an arrangement that is simple yet majestic, evoke a refreshing sense of youth symbolized by school club activities.

And as Arashi’s final release before their hiatus, it may resonate with those about to retire from their club activities.

It’s a grand piece that suggests the road continues on even after all the effort and the moment of stepping away.
