Farewell Song: A goodbye song. A tearful parting song.

In life, farewells come at many turning points—graduation, starting a job, moving to Tokyo to pursue a dream, or even heartbreak.

Conversely, seeing someone off on their new journey can be just as hard.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs themed around various farewell situations in life.

We’ve carefully selected masterpieces that help you overcome the pain of parting and give you the courage to take a step forward.

7!! is a three-piece rock band from Okinawa that won the Grand Prix in the band category of the Mitsuya Cider commercial song audition, and now performs under the name seven oops.

Their 7th single, Kono Hiroi Sora no Shita de, which was selected as the ending theme for the variety show Roke-Mitsu The World, is a pleasant number featuring cute vocals and a lively band sound.

The lyrics evoke both memories of youth and a resolve to move forward, conjuring the image of parting with someone unforgettable even as time passes.

It’s a refreshing yet nostalgic pop tune you’ll want to listen to while basking in your memories.

Dawn and Firefliesn-buna

N-buna’s “Yoake to Hotaru” is memorable for its lyrics that evoke scenes of summer and sing of you gradually drifting away.

N-buna is also well known as the guitarist and composer of Yorushika.

Although “Yoake to Hotaru” was released in the winter of 2014, it drew attention as a bittersweet summer song out of season.

The acoustic version released in 2016 to commemorate one million views is even more heartrending, and I highly recommend it.

Partings are a part of life—listen to “Yoake to Hotaru” and take a new step forward.

Kis-My-Ft2 is a seven-member idol group known for its popularity, with every single and album released since their debut reaching No.

1 on the Oricon CD charts.

Member Taisuke Fujigaya’s solo song “Yobukoe” is a number that features rich, resonant piano tones.

Its message—that even if you’re separated now, you’ll be able to meet again someday—may resonate not only with graduation ceremonies, but also with working adults who experience sudden farewells due to transfers or moving.

It’s a ballad with a sentimental melody that stirs the heart, and one where you’ll want to pay special attention to the clear, translucent quality of his vocals.
