[Little Glee Monster] Youth Photograph [Litoguri]

When it comes to graduation songs, many tend to be somber and mellow, but this one is a very lively and upbeat number.

Little Glee Monster’s “Seishun Photograph” is their second single, released in 2015, and as the title suggests, it’s a graduation song with a photo theme.

It’s a track that makes you want to preserve the fun days you had at school in pictures.

Be sure to capture both your tearful and smiling faces with the camera.

MACK JACK – My Men [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A powerful, heart-hitting track from the four-member reggae group MACK JACK.

The lyrics feel true to life, like you’re talking to the friend right in front of you, and they really warm your heart.

During our school years, when there’s so much to worry about, friends are probably the biggest presence in our lives.

It’s usually a little embarrassing, but graduation is exactly the moment when you want to express your gratitude.

It’s the kind of graduation song that makes you want to throw your arms around your beloved friends—those who were with you through tough times and fun times alike—and sing together, just like in the lyrics!

The Day of Beginningsiri

iri – The Day of Beginning (Music Video)

Graduation is also the beginning of a new future, isn’t it? Shining a light on graduates taking flight toward that future is iri’s 2021 track “Hajimari no Hi” (“The Day It Begins”).

With its gentle melody, it preserves the solemn mood of the ceremony while casting a ray of light on this fresh departure.

The lyrics, which make you feel like, although you don’t really want to part from this place or your friends, you’ll tuck away all those memories in your heart and start walking toward your own future tomorrow, are a perfect fit for graduation.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quiet, calm piece for the procession or recessional.

The happiest treasuresutopuri

[MV] The Most Wonderful Treasure / Strawberry Prince

A song by Strawberry Prince (Stpri), an entertainment group active mainly on the web, especially on platforms like YouTube and TwitCasting.

As its title suggests, “The Best Treasure” is a graduation song with a bright, happy vibe that feels delightful.

Precisely because they’re the best friends who have shared both joys and hardships, you don’t want to part in lingering tears—you want to say goodbye with a smile and positivity.

It’s an up-tempo number that gives you the courage to part cheerfully, carrying countless memories in your heart.

Perfect as an exit song for students looking ahead with a refreshing spirit.
