Under the same skyayaka
“Everyone Under the Sky” is a song Ayaka wrote for a friend.
In the lyrics, she speaks to someone dear, telling them how wonderful they are, and, as the title suggests, offers encouragement with the message: “Even if we’re apart, we’re all under the same sky.” Leaving a familiar place can feel unsettling and lonely, even when it’s your own decision.
But listening to this song, you’ll remember your steadfast friends whenever you look up at the sky, and feel ready to keep going.
It’s a perfect gift to send someone off on their new journey.
End and Beginningkariyushi 58
An evocative song that captures the sparkle found in calm, everyday life, it was released in February 2010 as the B-side to Kariyushi 58’s single “Ame nochi Hare.” Its warm acoustic sound and heartfelt message—like reflecting on yourself at the end of the day—are compelling.
The lyrics gently question the finiteness of life and the importance of the everyday.
The song was used as the theme for the 2016 drama “Sanbiki no Ossan 3: Seigi no Mikata, Mitabi!!,” and from October 2024 it has also been featured in a commercial for Japan Manufacturing Service.
It’s a piece I wholeheartedly recommend, one that can stay close to anyone facing a life milestone, such as graduation or a job change.
Thank youikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s song is a classic and extremely popular choice for farewell parties and graduation songs.
As the title suggests, it’s a standout recommendation when you want to express your gratitude at a send-off.
What’s more, it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “GeGeGe no Nyobo,” which has boosted its recognition across generations.
It’s a reliable, go-to track you can confidently choose when sending off anyone—from younger people to those senior to you.
Anytime Anywheremilet
As a song to give at a farewell, milet’s “Anytime Anywhere” is perfect.
Her vocals drew attention at the Tokyo Olympics closing ceremony, and this song is truly fitting for a send-off scene.
The lyrics celebrate the bond with someone dear and emphasize that even when apart, your hearts remain together.
Its delicate ensemble of piano and acoustic guitar will add elegance to a grateful goodbye.
However, because the beautiful melody includes wide interval leaps, you’ll need practice to sing it at karaoke.
Even so, performing this moving song at a farewell party will surely make it a memorable moment.
I want to become a cherry blossom tree.AKB48
Isn’t this a farewell song that can bring tears even to those who aren’t AKB48 fans? I’ve heard many schools sing it at graduation ceremonies.
Using a cherry tree as its motif, the lyrics gently tell those setting off that even if you lose your way, I’ll always be here watching over you.
This kindness speaks to people of every generation.
It’s a landmark farewell song that showcases the skill of lyricist Yasushi Akimoto.
Good Bye,Good LuckTOTALFAT
A standout TOTALFAT classic that vividly captures the moment of farewell and new beginnings with a thrilling punk rock sound and a rush of melody! The lyrics offer courage to move forward while staying close to feelings of loneliness and solitude, striking a deep chord.
Released in January 2012, it was also used as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Naruto (Original Series).
Sing it at graduations or farewell parties, and you’re sure to share hope for the future while etching bonds and memories with your friends into your hearts.
