flameLiSA
This song, the theme for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, which became a mega-hit surpassing the record set by Spirited Away, is also perfect for farewell scenes.
Until the moment of parting arrives, we tend to believe the happy days will go on forever.
Even so, life often requires us to experience farewells for the sake of each person’s future.
In such moments, rather than being dragged down by the sadness of parting, this song gives you the strength to keep the days you shared in your heart, look ahead, and continue walking your own life.
Let the sadness last only until the farewell party! From the next day, it inspires you to stay cheerful and do your best—for the sake of the person you’re parting from as well.
GONGWANIMA
This is the song “GONG” by the hugely popular pop-punk band WANIMA.
It was used as the theme song for the film One Piece: Stampede.
The pirate vibe they give off perfectly matches both the song’s image and the movie’s image.
That burning feeling of caring for your comrades is probably the same for pirates and bands alike.
If everyone goes wild together while listening to this song, the sorrow of parting will surely turn into happy memories!
My friend — now and forever…Ketsumeishi
As the title suggests, “Tomo yo ~Kono Saki mo Zutto…~” by Ketsumeishi is a beloved track that’s also popular as a friendship song.
Released in 2016, it became widely known across generations as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! The Great Assault on the Dreaming World.
It’s a song that makes you feel the strength of having someone who truly understands you—one to remember when you’re going through something tough or feel like you might break, and one you’ll want the person you gift it to remember as well.
The music video features the comedy trio Dachou Club, and the contrast is wonderful—but in the end, it’s a moving piece.
