Baby Don’t CryAmuro Namie

Baby Don’t Cry – Namie Amuro (Full)

This is a major hit by Namie Amuro, an artist who continues to be loved by people of all ages for her clear, beautiful singing voice and strong, empowering image.

With lyrics about using memories of a former lover as nourishment to take the next step forward, it’s a song that gives you energy when you listen to it.

Girls’ RuleNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'Girls' Rule' Short Ver.

Released in July 2013 as the group’s sixth single, this song drew major attention as Mai Shiraishi took the center position for the first time.

It was featured in a Rakuten commercial and as the opening theme for NTV’s variety show “NOGIBINGO!,” and it debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

The music video, shot at an abandoned school in Ibaraki Prefecture, became a hot topic for its dramatic story depicting students trying to protect their swimming pool.

With a perfect summertime drive, it’s an ideal track for an all-girls hangout when you want to get fired up, or when you want to reminisce about school-day friendships.

Try EverythingDream Ami

Dream Ami / Try Everything (Dream Ami version)

It’s a song I personally love, and it’s the theme song from the Disney animated film Zootopia.

It’s a really great track that, strangely enough, gives you energy when you listen to it.

I hope those who haven’t heard it yet will give it a listen.

The very cute vocals will make your heart skip a beat.

A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru

Hikaru Utada – A Bouquet for You

It’s a somewhat serious, mature masterpiece.

It’s the kind of moving song that really makes you think, “As expected of Hikaru Utada.” For people who usually find it hard to say thank you—who get shy and embarrassed—I hope listening to this song helps you convey your feelings honestly.

It’s a song I’d like to send to a friend or a teacher who’s helped me.

We againSG

We Again (Wind Ensemble ver.) – SG (Official Behind-the-Scenes Music Video)

This work by SG has gained support as an encouraging song that resonates deeply during graduations and farewells.

Its gentle melody, which accompanies young people as they overcome partings and take new steps forward, and its lyrics filled with hope for reunion are especially appealing.

Released in April 2021, it has become a popular track with a cumulative 150 million streams.

Starting in November 2024, it has also been featured in Calorie Mate’s exam-season support commercial, and a concert band version by the Hanazono Tokuei High School Wind Ensemble has been making waves.

It’s a heartwarming song for farewells, graduation ceremonies, and moments when you long to see someone special again.

It’s a recommended track for times when you want to cherish your memories while looking ahead and doing your best.

Sakura, You, and Ituki.

Cherry Blossom, You, Me – SAKURA KIMI WATASHI

Tuki.’s new song, released in January 2024, is a perfect fit for the spring graduation season.

Gently singing of a tender love layered with the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, it wraps listeners’ hearts in warmth.

Tuki.’s clear, transparent vocals beautifully convey the bittersweet emotions.

The song also serves as the theme for the show “Kyou Suki” (“Today, I Fell in Love”), and it’s said to create moving moments that link with scenes from the program.

With lyrics that comfort those who have experienced partings, it’s a recommended listen for graduation ceremonies and the season of spring farewells.

It’s also a must-hear for anyone who wants to cherish the feeling of being in love.

I can’t forget it.Sakanakushon

Sakanaction / Wasurerarenai no -Music Video-

Sakanaction is supported by a wide range of generations, regardless of gender or age.

This song is the band’s 13th single, released in 2019, but it was surprisingly put out as an 8 cm single—something high school girls likely wouldn’t be familiar with.

The track has a somewhat retro, nostalgic feel, and the music video is made to match, with an old-fashioned look.
