Graduation -GRADUATION-

This song portrays the bittersweetness of youth and the beauty of growing up.

It begins with a scene of walking down a tree-lined street in the spring sunlight, and its delicate details—like the habit of leafing through graduation photos and an episode about a book given as a birthday present—linger in the heart.

Released in February 1985, it was also used as the theme song for a TV drama of the same name.

It became her first number-one hit on the Oricon chart and sold nearly 400,000 copies, making it Momoko Kikuchi’s biggest hit.

It’s perfect not only for the graduation season but also for anyone who feels nostalgic for their school days.

Why not listen to it with the arrival of spring and let a gentle calm wash over you?
