Thanks, Sakuraaidoringu!!!

Idoling!!! / Sakura Thank You

This is the 19th single released in February 2013 by Idoling!!!, a group born from a Fuji TV program that drew attention for its uniquely individual members.

Featuring the bright, sprightly sound of acoustic guitar, the song is a fast-paced pop tune that adds a cheerful touch to the season of farewells.

Created as the group’s first graduation song, its forward-looking lyrics focus less on sadness and more on expressing gratitude with a heartfelt “thank you.” Written and composed by Shinya Tada, it garnered strong support at the time, reaching No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.

A unique highlight of the music video is the members portraying a girls’ rugby team.

It’s a track you’ll want to play when you need a gentle push as you head into a new life in spring.

Smiling Back (Single Version)

Candies, an idol group that defined the Showa era.

The last single they released in February 1978, just before their breakup, is an eternal classic themed around springtime farewells and new beginnings.

While vividly depicting the real-life scene of tidying up a room for a move, the lyrics cleverly weave in the titles of their past hit songs—a stylish touch.

Filled with gratitude and a farewell message to their fans, the song moved the entire nation, even reaching No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

Despite its bright, lighthearted melody, it carries a bittersweetness that warms the heart—perfect for graduation season.

Brimming with the poise and kindness of waving goodbye with a smile at the end, this work gently supports those setting out on a new path.

Beyond the GoodbyeYamaguchi Momoe

Beyond the Goodbye

Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary songstress who blazed through the idol scene of the 1970s.

Released in August 1980 as her 31st single, this work is an eternal ballad that mirrors her feelings just before retirement.

The beautiful melody by the golden duo of Yoko Aki and Ryudo Uzaki, along with lyrics that convey gratitude and a resolve for the future, truly move the heart.

Her final act at the Budokan concert in October 1980—singing this song last and laying down the microphone—is famously iconic.

Also included on the album “Legend of the Phoenix,” it seems to reflect her stance of saying farewell while continuing to live on as a legend.

Listening to it during spring farewells or when taking a new step forward can inspire a quiet courage.

It is an unfading masterpiece, passed down and sung by many artists.

Goodbye, Secret Baseshiritsu ebisu chūgaku

Goodbye, Secret Base

A song that uses a childhood hideout as its motif to portray parting and the preservation of memories.

It’s included on Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku’s seventh full-length album, “Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku,” released in March 2022.

Kenta Aloha handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, imbuing the song with a distinctive feel in the density of its words and the flow of its melody.

The lyrics are sprinkled with expressions tied to physical sensations—like embracing and checking answers—that convey the urgency of time that can’t be reclaimed, while also holding a determination to move forward.

It’s been performed live and has grown into a song that fosters a strong sense of unity in the venue.

A gently resonant number that’s perfect for graduation season, as you look back on days with friends and take your next step forward.

Snow Man “Ichibanboshi” Rec Video

A cheering song that gently gives you a push while staying close to your weakness and doubt.

Included on the regular edition of Snow Man’s sixth single, “Brother Beat,” released in March 2022, this track quietly makes its presence felt with a message that seeps into the heart, even as the title song drew attention as the theme for the film Osomatsu-san.

It acknowledges that there are nights when you can’t even accept words of encouragement, that you don’t have to reject the version of yourself who ends up in tears, and it carefully scoops up such delicate emotions, ultimately arriving at the warmth of “you’re not alone”—a progression that resonates deeply.

The choral feel of the nine voices overlapping is also perfect for graduation scenes, where you can truly sense the bonds with your companions.

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of those who are anxious about a new environment or feel like things aren’t going well even though they want to do their best.

Oh, early summer rainSakurazaka46

Sakurazaka46 'Samidare yo'

A poignant love song by Sakurazaka46 that portrays feelings of love through the motif of early-summer rain.

Released in April 2022 as their fourth single, it received a tremendous response, topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Like rain that never stops, the swelling emotions are expressed through delicate vocals and choreography, gently embracing unspoken love and the struggles it brings.

It is a warm track that waits for the arrival of spring, resonating with those in the midst of unrequited love or unable to convey their feelings.
