This work makes you want to cherish forever the memories of the school culture festival we all enjoyed together.

The warmth of the lyrics—“Let’s keep looking forward no matter what”—is wonderful.

Smile Up! Project ~Feelings We Want to Share Now~ Kanjani Eight (Kanjani∞)

Many people choose to part ways to pursue their dreams, such as further education or starting a career.

A perfect cheer-up song for them is “Omoidama.” It’s a track written by Kanjani Eight as the theme song for the Summer Koshien high school baseball tournament.

The encouragement woven into the lyrics is sure to move you.

By the way, the title is written in katakana so that listeners can add their own interpretations and relate to it in their own way.

Find your own meaning and sing it with feeling! It’s also recommended as a song that’s easy for male voices to harmonize on.

You’re my friend.Hey! Say! JUMP

You're my friend.

This is a song by Hey! Say! JUMP, whose popularity is skyrocketing among both younger audiences and adults.

The song’s appeal lies in its straightforward lyrics that clearly express gratitude to friends and the hope to keep getting along from here on out.

Among friendship songs, it’s especially easy to understand and a track I’d recommend to younger listeners.

King & Prince “Kimi wo Matteru” MV YouTube Edit

King & Prince’s “Kimi wo Matteiru” is a perfect song for entrance and exit processions at graduation ceremonies.

Its refreshing, forward-looking message stands out, warmly celebrating a new beginning.

The lyrics were written by singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi, offering graduates the hope that “a bright future is waiting for you.” As students exit, this song will send them off toward a hopeful fresh start.

With King & Prince’s bright, radiant vocals, it will surely make the ceremony even more memorable and splendid.

Friends / NMB48 Nana Yamada, Sayaka Yamamoto

Sayaka Yamamoto said in an Asahi Shimbun article that a best friend is someone who, before you know it, is right by your side.

That best friend is Nana Yamamoto.

It’s said that the song was performed only once, at the concert the day after Nana Yamada announced her graduation on the second day of NMB’s 4th anniversary live.

It’s a ballad about the friendship between the two, known as “SayaNana.”

If you want to thank the senior who stepped in to mediate our fight and let them know we’ve made up, this is the perfect song.

It’s also ideal for rallying the team—there’s no time for quarrels; let’s get along, unite, and give it our all together.

This is one of Seiko Matsuda’s signature songs.

The relaxed tone and her resonant voice match beautifully, making it a pleasure to listen to.

When it was a hit, I think it was one of the songs people especially wanted her to sing.

Even now, it’s a graduation song that younger people still perform.
