Full of memoriesH₂O

Full of Memories / H2O (Full/Lyrics Included) covered by SKYzART

H2O’s “Memories Are Full” is a classic staple as a graduation ceremony chorus piece.

For many people, singing or listening to this song brings back memories of their own graduation.

Because it has been sung across generations, it serves as a common language that lets people reminisce beyond regions and age groups.

It’s the perfect song for a send-off.

Nobody’s HomeONE OK ROCK

Nobody’s Home live – ONE OK ROCK

For BGM to cheer on people taking their first steps toward their dreams and goals, I recommend “Nobody’s Home.” It’s a rock track included on ONE OK ROCK’s 2010 release, Niche Syndrome.

Amid the heavy rock sound, the emotional melody really strikes a chord.

The lyrics, written by vocalist Taka for his parents, Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori, are heartbreaking yet warm.

It’s a song you’ll want to play when you’re supporting someone moving toward the future.

Thank you.Ōhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara – Thank You. (Music Video Short ver.)

Sakurako Ohara is expanding her range both as a singer and as an actress.

Her song “Thank You,” produced by Seiji Kameda, was released in 2014 as her debut single.

It’s a medium-tempo pop number that showcases her cute, captivating vocals.

I especially want people who find it hard to express their gratitude honestly to listen to it! While it has the feel of a love song, the “you” in the lyrics could fit just about anyone, don’t you think?

Spitz’s “Sora mo Toberu Hazu,” also popular as a graduation chorus piece.

Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals wrap our departure in warmth.

It’s the perfect song to cheer on those about to spread their wings toward the future.

I’m sure it will help you take a new step forward with a kind heart!

There were good times and bad, but let’s both stay well until we meet again! It’s a song that lets you feel that way honestly.

This is a solo song by Momoka Ariyasu from Momoiro Clover Z.

It’s the kind of track you want to etch into your heart when you’re entering a new environment or trying something different.

Watching the concert footage, you can’t help but feel tears welling up too—it really shows how popular Momoclo is.

Regardless of gender, it’s a song that makes anyone who wants courage think, “Let’s do our best,” thanks to its straightforward lyrics.

It’s a wonderful piece that gives courage to those anxious about a new beginning.
