Let the cherry blossoms bloomarashi
This is the perfect song to give to someone who’s moving on after a farewell and striving in a new place—the signature hit by Arashi! “The cherry blossoms bloom” doesn’t just literally mean the flowers are blooming; like how it can mean passing an entrance exam, it signifies that something you’ve challenged yourself with has gone well.
That kind of forward-looking spirit is packed throughout the lyrics.
And before you take off running in a new place, there’s almost always a farewell to your current environment and friends.
This song carries a powerful message: “Even after we part ways, the bonds we’ve built won’t disappear—so keep your head up and keep running forward!”
Sakura, You, and Ituki.
A new song by tuki.
themed around springtime farewells, blending wistfulness with warmth.
Released in January 2024, this track comforts those facing graduation and the goodbyes that spring brings.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and tuki.’s soaring vocals convey the excitement of spring’s arrival and new beginnings.
The lyrics are striking, like snapshots of youth—a quiet classroom on graduation day, or the feeling that if time could rewind, you’d have talked more.
It’s an emotional piece perfect for a long spring night—be sure to give it a listen.
Aoiaimyon
Some people are surely feeling anxious as they stand before a major life milestone.
For those people, a song I recommend that gently gives you a nudge forward is “Aoi.” It’s a track Aimyon wrote specifically as the ending theme for the film “Her Blue Sky.” Rather than rousing you with a forceful “Do your best,” the lyrics offer gentle encouragement.
Try singing it softly to match those lyrics.
Also, when you sing, I’d like you to be mindful of using vibrato.
Goodbye, Regretkururi
For anyone who wants to become a new version of themselves after graduating or changing jobs, I recommend listening to Sayonara Regret.
It was released in 2008 by the rock band Quruli and was used in a House Foods “Java Curry” commercial.
Its gently paced, soothing melody line is especially memorable.
The lyrics, told with a picture book-like worldview, are filled with messages that resonate with adults.
It’s a song that helps you realize that both the good and not-so-good experiences you’ve had so far are what support you.
Primal.THE YELLOW MONKEY
A song perfectly suited for March, the season of farewells and new encounters.
Just as the cold winter air begins to take on warmth, it simultaneously portrays the bittersweetness of setting out and the hopeful expectations for a bright future.

Both the sound and the lyrics resonate deeply, sure to evoke moving emotions that fit graduation and farewell scenes.
At least this / Just this (one thing)WANIMA
A three-piece rock band from Kumamoto Prefecture, WANIMA takes its name from the members’ initials.
This song, included on their third single “Gotta Go!!,” may be familiar to many as it was featured in a McDonald’s commercial.
Opening with their trademark beautiful harmonies, the arrangement—superb in both speed and melodicism—gives courage to those setting off on a new path.
The lyrics both give a push and a sense of reassurance, striking the heart—making it a perfect number to brighten up a farewell party karaoke session.

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.
