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.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
You know “Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo,” right? It’s one of Superfly’s signature songs and consistently ranks high on karaoke popularity charts.
The lyrics express gratitude to a loved one by likening it to a bouquet of flowers.
At farewell parties, there are often moments when people actually present a bouquet, so singing this song then could be a nice touch.
However, the melody spans a wide range, so it’s fairly difficult.
If you find some notes hard to hit, try adjusting the key.
CheeseSG
This song, which sings of the bittersweet feelings of friendship and parting, is marked by SG’s clear, pure vocals.
It conveys gratitude for the relationship between two people whose personalities and types are completely different, and for the days that felt like a miracle.
Released in May 2024, the track features a soulful sound reminiscent of The Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder.
It’s recommended listening when parting from someone important or reminiscing about an old friend.
It’s sure to be a song that resonates with your heart.
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!
