Flower of ThanksSakushi Sakkyoku: Sakata Osamu
Set to a piano accompaniment, “Arigatou no Hana” is a song you can sing rhythmically.
It likens everyone’s smiles and memories—those precious treasures—to flowers.
If the children can truly understand the meaning of “Arigatou no Hana” and sing it, they’ll take one more step toward growing up as they graduate from kindergarten.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heartLyrics/Composition: Hiroshi Yamazaki
Now that six years have passed since they were born, this song tells us that they have learned and felt many things, and can walk on their own feet toward the next world.
Compared to other graduation songs, it may sound a bit more mature, but when the children grow older and remember this song, I believe they will be moved by it all over again.
Thank you with a smileLyrics and Composition: Daichi Nagai
On the occasion of the graduation ceremony, why not express your gratitude to your parents, teachers, and friends? The perfect song for that is “Egao de Arigatou” (“Thank You with a Smile”).
Saying thank you at the time of parting can make you feel a bit sad, can’t it? But with this song, as the title suggests, you can share your thanks with a smile.
The lyrics include parts that thank parents for taking you to and from kindergarten or nursery school, making the whole song easy to relate to.
While singing, it might also be nice to look back on everything that’s happened up to now.

It will be sunny tomorrow.Sakushi Sakkyoku: Sakata Osamu
When it comes to a song that cheers on children setting off on their own paths, “Ashita wa Hareru” comes to mind.
The artist Osamu Sakata wrote both the lyrics and music.
Set to a light, flowing rhythm, it carries a warm, compassionate message to friends.
It teaches us that, no matter what lies ahead, the bonds formed with friends in kindergarten or nursery school will be a source of support.
This is a song you’ll want to sing precisely at those moments of parting from the friends you always played and talked with.
Be sure to check out this upbeat number that blows away loneliness and heartache.
Album of MemoriesSakushi: Masuko Toshi / Sakkyoku: Honda Tetsuma
Since it was broadcast on TV Asahi’s children’s program in 1980 and on NHK’s children’s music show “Minna no Uta” in 1981, this song has long been cherished as a classic graduation song for kindergarten.
It looks back on memories from spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and concludes with the message: “A lot has happened, but we’ve grown wonderfully and will soon be first graders.” Although new graduation songs continue to emerge and it seems to be sung less frequently, it remains a timeless masterpiece that everyone hopes will be passed down forever.
right?Lyrics・Composition: Hayumi Takahashi
It’s a warm song about the happiness of being with family and friends.
Spending time with someone feels like a given, doesn’t it? Without that, we couldn’t live a “normal” life.
But when we get too used to it, we end up forgetting to feel grateful.
If you listen to this song, it will remind you to feel and say “thank you, as always” to the people around you.
It’s great for children to sing, but it also works as a song given by parents or teachers.
A token of my loveSakushi: Kimushō, Moeko t / Sakkyoku: Kimushō
This is a graduation song by Kimusho, who produces children’s songs and class songs, and Moeko T.
The stylish melody and piano accompaniment are lovely, aren’t they? Children may not yet understand the song’s message that “the days spent in kindergarten or nursery school will become lifelong memories.” However, when they look back years or even decades later, the lyrics and melody of “Daisuki no Shirushi” will bring those times back to them with nostalgia, and they will truly feel the meaning of the song.
