Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

A title like “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“We Should Be Able to Fly”) feels like it could make a graduation ceremony even more moving… it has that kind of dramatic quality, doesn’t it? As one of Spitz’s signature songs, this track is sure to elevate the graduation mood without a doubt.

Somber is fine too, but sending everyone off straight and positively like this song does is also a great choice.
