A Song for a FriendSonar Pocket

Sonar Pocket 'A Song for a Friend' [MV Short]

I believe graduating from junior high school is something special.

We’ve spent nine years together since our elementary school days, but once we graduate from junior high, we go our separate ways and it becomes hard to see each other.

Before you part from your precious friends, I hope you’ll share your feelings—thank you for everything so far, and let’s keep in touch from now on.

When I listen to this song, my gratitude toward my friends overflows more and more.

Graduation DaySasuke

Graduation Day

When I first entered junior high, I couldn’t wait to graduate and become a high schooler, but when graduation actually comes, I feel lonely.

I find myself wanting to spend time with the friends I always laughed with just like before, and sometimes I end up not wanting to graduate.

Listening to this song makes me want to cherish the time we have together now.
