This song is less about oneself and more about the feelings of cheering on someone precious.

When I listened to it, countless memories with the first friends I made after joining the class came flooding back, and I was deeply moved.

I thought that even just playing it as background music at a graduation ceremony would create a wonderful atmosphere and be sure to move people.

In the season of departures, even when we part ways with classmates and teachers we’ve spent time with, there are feelings we don’t want to forget.

Why not try singing it for classmates who are graduating, or for your teachers or your loved one?
