Full of memoriesH₂O
It’s a monumental kayōkyoku that will likely continue to be sung for decades to come.
With a heart full of memories, a girl grows into adulthood, and the lyrics carefully scoop up that fragile, glass-like delicacy.
It’s a song I’d like to dedicate to everyone setting off on a new journey with their memories.
This song creates a time that everyone can share—from young people hearing it for the first time to adults who remember when it first came out.
Since it’s well-known among people in their 50s and older, it’s a great recommendation as a song for a retiring boss.

CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
I bet many of you sang this at your graduation ceremony back in the day.
It’s a beautiful song that makes you cry from the intro alone and conveys unconditional love.
Although it’s about farewells in our youth, it’s also perfectly suitable to sing for seniors, teachers, or a mentor who took care of you.
And you don’t have to imitate Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s singing style—just sing it in your own way!
SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
It also became the theme song for the film Solanin.
The song plays a significant role in the movie, where the lovers sing their hearts out, reaffirming their feelings and connecting with each other.
The lyrics may seem rather blunt—wanting to go back to that day but knowing you can’t, saying goodbye because there’s no other choice—but the more I listen, the more I feel there’s something deeper there.
If tearful goodbyes make you shy, this is the song for you!
Spring Comes to UsUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
It was also used as the theme song for the TV anime March Comes in Like a Lion.
The anime is a moving story about a boy who grows through shogi.
The lyrics, which say that we grow each time we experience spring, are endlessly bright and positive.
If a farewell gathering starts to feel gloomy, try livening things up by singing this song.
It’s a slightly up-tempo track, so don’t let the speed beat you—give it your all!
That’s important.Daiji MAN Burazāzu Bando
It’s a song that makes you feel like all you need to do is believe in yourself to the very end and keep moving straight ahead.
Released in 1991 as the DaijiMAN Brothers Band’s third single, it became a huge hit.
It’s a perfect send-off message for someone about to embark on a new journey—rather than getting sentimental, it’s an upbeat, powerful number that’s ideal when you want to see them off with smiles.
Goodbye, baby.Fuji Kaze
A singer-songwriter who’s drawing attention for modern tracks born from shape-shifting lyrics that switch between Okayama dialect and standard Japanese, backed by a vast musical background: Fujii Kaze.
This song, included on his first album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” excels in blending a melody reminiscent of classic kayōkyoku with contemporary arrangements.
By using the Okayama dialect, the lyrics feel more familiar, and the unadorned words to a lover with whom one has decided to part conjure up vivid, real scenes.
It’s a song that evokes the feeling of parting with someone dear, and singing it at karaoke can help you sort out your emotions.
THANK YOU, HELLO GOOD BYEAnjurumu
This graduation song by ANGERME is a heartwarming piece that sings of gratitude and farewell.
It’s filled with appreciation for the group members and the fans who supported them.
Though parting is painful, the song’s upbeat tone conveys hope for a new path, which leaves a strong impression.
Released in June 2024, it was created to commemorate Rikako Sasaki’s graduation.
Takuya Nakajima wrote and composed the song, and it’s said that the members joined him for an emotional recording session.
It’s a perfect track to play at farewells, such as send-off parties or graduation ceremonies.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to express gratitude before parting with someone important.
