It was released as a single in November 2005 and included on the album “NAMELESS WORLD” released in December of the same year.

Familiar hills you used to walk, memories with friends, and the mix of excitement and anxiety for a new beginning are portrayed alongside a melody that resonates deeply.
Released as a single in January 2006, it was also featured in a commercial for the music distribution service MUSIC.JP.
It’s a track we recommend not only to students approaching graduation, but to anyone standing at a turning point in life.

Spitz’s classic song “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“We Could Even Fly in the Sky”) was the theme song for the drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” starring Tomoya Nagase and Miki Sakai.
The series, which portrays the love and friendship of students on the verge of graduation, likely resonates strongly with those actually approaching that milestone.
The song perfectly matches the drama’s scenes and evokes a feeling of gratitude for the friends and loved ones you’ve met.
You make all kinds of memories with people you happened to meet at the same school during a short student life.
It’s like a miracle of an encounter—and this song is a great way to express your thanks once again to those friends who made it possible.

There are many graduation songs themed around cherry blossoms.
Each has its own charm, but the one I recommend for looking back on school life is “Sakura” by Beverly Goodman.
Its lyrics depict the growth of mind and body from entrance to graduation.
Try singing it while recalling various events.
The melody has an R&B feel, so it’s also great for getting everyone into the groove.
There’s a section with a fast-tempo rap part, so give it some practice.
Youth and a momentmakaroni enpitsu
The youth anthem delivered by Macaroni Enpitsu sings about the importance of cherishing every moment of youth, including the boring days and the feelings of frustration.
Hattori’s emotional vocals, paired with a soothing melody that brings out both the light and shadow of school days, deeply resonate with listeners.
The song was released as a digital single in March 2019 and was written specifically for McDonald’s 500-yen Value Set.
The music video features actress Nana Mori and was filmed in the band’s hometown of Yamanashi.
It’s a perfect track to color the moment of graduation, and if you sing it together at karaoke, it will surely become a lasting memory.
