The Curse That Won’t FadeHisaishi Joe
This is a very quiet, very short track.
It’s a simple soundscape made up almost entirely of short notes, but midway through, a piano descends the scale like steps, oozing with eeriness.
The music doesn’t say much, which all the more underscores the gravity of the “curse that won’t fade.” Wondering what kind of curse that is? Watch the film and see for yourself.
Goodbye for today.Lyrics/Composition: Shoichi Kaneko
Parting from the teachers and friends you’ve spent time with is hard, isn’t it? “Kyo no Hi wa Sayonara” carries both that sadness and a message of overcoming it and meeting again somewhere someday.
The piece is by composer Shoichi Kaneko.
It’s not only a standard song for graduation season, but it’s also been used as an insert song in various anime.
Because of that, many children are likely to know it.
Since it contains many unfamiliar words, I hope you’ll first go through the lyrics’ meanings with the children before singing it.

The song depicts making up after a quarrel.
It’s not only fun to sing, but also perfect for reaffirming the importance of reconciling and cherishing friends.

Mr./Ms. Amnesia, look this way.Ubanaroku
It feels like a heavy message sinking deep into my chest.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Roka Uhaka, released in February 2023.
A mid-tempo rock tune with a distinctly wistful atmosphere.
And the lyrics are filled with resentment toward “someone who has forgotten what they themselves did”…
Even if you can’t relate personally, it hits hard.
It makes me wonder whether, somewhere in my life up to now, I might have done something like that without even realizing it…
I can’t help but think about it.
