[Recommended for High School Students] New Graduation Songs & Classic Tearjerkers Collection

oneselfTani Yuuki

My True Self – Tani Yuuki [MV]

In March 2020, he posted just a single phrase on TikTok, in May he uploaded a full song to YouTube, and by July he had released his debut single—Tani Yuuki seems to be rocketing up a modern-day Cinderella story.

Here is his youth-filled track, “Jibun Jishin” (“Myself”).

The lyrics feel like they’re cheering on high schoolers at graduation: “You’re probably too scared to face your own weakness to really look at it, but if you can get past that, you’ll become an adult too.” In the near future, these words will surely give you courage and, at times, a gentle push forward.

Among the many graduation songs out there, this is a track that’s certain to linger in everyone’s hearts.

I want to put it into words.Sumioka Rina

Terrace House graduation song — Rina Sumioka “I Want to Put It into Words”

This is a song I really want girls to listen to when they’re about to be separated from someone and want to express their feelings no matter what the outcome may be.

I think there are many people who struggle because they want to say how they feel but can’t find the courage.

Listening to this song made me feel that expressing your feelings is a wonderful thing.

GIVE ME FIVE!AKB48

[MV full] GIVE ME FIVE! / AKB48 [Official]

A graduation song released in 2012 as AKB48’s 25th major single.

It’s also a cheer song packed with encouragement for everyone shedding their uniforms and taking flight into a new world, brimming with the momentum that defined the idol group at their peak.

It’s a little bittersweet, yet poppy and refreshing! Embrace that forward-looking worldview without hesitation.

You’ll find an energy that outweighs any sense of loneliness.

By the way, “GIVE ME FIVE” means a high five.

Don’t forget to high-five while you sing!

Haru LoveJuliet

Juliet – Haru Love

Juliet’s 2010 track “Haru Love” gives you the hope that you’ll meet again even after graduation.

It’s sad to think that once you graduate and go your separate ways, you won’t see your beloved friends and teachers every day, and you won’t be able to come back to a school full of memories.

But it’s also true that you can’t just stay sad forever.

The song portrays the feeling of putting on a brave face and deciding to keep moving forward from tomorrow so that you can meet again with a smile.

Link arms with your friends, share your loneliness with each other, and sing with the wish that you’ll reunite in the future.
