cherry blossomKobukuro
It’s a moving song by Kobukuro that somehow always feels fresh, even though I must have listened to it countless times.
The lyric that says people grow up a little with each spring they experience is just one interpretation.
How do you take it? Since it’s a duet, it might be nice to find a partner, practice quietly, and then perform it.
Until graduationBoku ga mitakatta aozora
“Until Graduation” is a poignant coming-of-age story that portrays the first love of a girl on the verge of graduation.
It beautifully captures the blossoming feelings of love in cherry blossom season and the accompanying pangs of heartache.
Many listeners will relate to the protagonist as she struggles between her feelings for the one she loves and how to handle them within herself.
Released in January 2024, this song is recommended not only for those experiencing graduation or farewells, but also for anyone who wants to look back on memories of their youth.
365 Days’ Paper AirplaneAKB48
The nationally popular idol group AKB48.
Their song “365-Nichi no Kamihikōki” (365 Days of Paper Airplanes) is the theme for the morning drama series Asagakita.
The lyrics, written by Yasushi Akimoto, liken life to a paper airplane.
It carries a message that gives a gentle push to those feeling down, so try singing it as a cheer for your friends.
It was composed with the intention of making it easy for many people to sing, so even those who don’t usually go to karaoke should be able to handle it!
Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Sharin no Uta” is a song that captures the loneliness of parting while also conveying an encouraging sense of stepping forward into a new future.
Its light, pleasant melody makes you want to hum along.
At the same time, the lyrics are sprinkled with poignancy that gently stirs the listener’s emotions.
It links the complex feelings of the one who sees someone off with a message that is both gentle and strong, giving a push to the person setting out.
Even while dealing with the sensitive moment of farewell, BUMP OF CHICKEN delivers a gem of a song that leaves you with a warm feeling.

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.
Sakura (2019)Moriyama Naotaro
I did a self-cover of Sakura (Dokusho), which was released in 2003.
There are various arrangements, and each one reflects Naotaro Moriyama as he was in that particular era.
The lyrics depict a quintessential send-off song about departures and farewells.
If you sing it with all your heart, it feels like everything will get through to the listener.
If you’re ever unsure, go with this one!
Even if we forget springaibii karaa
Piano rock band, Ivy to Color.
The song that catapulted their name into the spotlight is “Even If We Forget Spring.” It portrays a man who, while holding back his loneliness, sends off someone dear to him with a bright smile.
The inner turmoil is depicted so vividly that anyone going through something similar will surely relate.
Since the lyrics also vow to meet again, it doesn’t get overly somber—that’s a nice touch.
And although it’s sung by a man, the high register makes it easy for women to sing as well.
