In the process of growing from a student into an adult, various worries and anxieties arise.

‘Dear Sir/Madam, On This Day When Cherry Blossoms Scatter’ portrays that inner conflict and the journey toward adulthood.

I imagine many male students have listened to it over and over.

That’s because Mafumafu wrote this song as the theme for Shonen Janmaga Gakuen.

It’s a high-energy piece that matches the lively vibe of a shonen manga magazine.

Overall, the tempo is fast and the melody stays in a high register, so it may be relatively difficult to sing.

For those looking for songs focused on male friendship—especially passionate, brotherly bonds—I recommend “Nakama.” It’s a track by the hip-hop group Ketsumeishi.

Set to a sound that blends ballad and reggae, it sings about the importance of friends.

The latter half plays like a cheer song, making it a great choice to dedicate to a friend embarking on a new path.

One more thing to add: the music video.

It features a star-studded cast of actors and is produced in a drama-like style.

My friend — now and forever…Ketsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”
My friend — now and forever...Ketsumeishi

A heartwarming song themed around friendship and bonds has arrived from Ketsumeishi.

This work sings about the precious days spent with friends and the presence of companions who stand by you in tough times.

Written as the theme song for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! The Great Assault on the Dreaming World,” it was released in April 2016.

The music video features the comedy trio Dachou Club, expressing their long-standing friendship.

The song is also included on the album “KETSUNOPOLIS 10.” It’s a perfect track for graduations, farewells with friends, or when you want to express gratitude to someone special.

Why not hum along while reflecting on the value of friendship?

This song delivered by Gen Hoshino is a moving piece that depicts the beauty and complexity of friendship.

Its gentle melody carries lyrics filled with feelings for a friend far away and the hope of meeting again.

Blending jazz-inspired elements with pop, the track evokes a touch of nostalgia while holding a quiet strength.

Included on the album “YELLOW DANCER,” released in December 2015, it was also written as the theme song for the film “Moriyamachu Driving School.” It’s delightful to sing at karaoke while dreaming of reunions with classmates, and equally special to listen to alone as you linger in the afterglow of graduation.

Tender and a little bittersweet, this song will offer courage and hope as you set out on a new path.
