Cherry Blossom Rainabsorb
“Sakura no Ame” is the major debut single by the music group absorb, which was active from 2005 to 2010.
Originally, however, it was a Vocaloid track using Hatsune Miku that the group’s central figure, Haruyoshi Mori, released on Niconico Douga under the name halyosy.
It became a huge topic on the internet at the time, and some may remember that members and fans joined forces to launch the “Sakura no Ame Project,” which grew into various initiatives.
The lyrics—written from Mori’s unique perspective after dropping out of high school and heading overseas—resonated with many young people and school teachers, and the song became so popular that it was actually performed at graduation ceremonies.
In 2012, a novel based on the song was published, and in 2016 a live-action film was released, so we hope you’ll check those out along with the original track.
On the Day of DepartureKojima Noboru, Sakamoto Hiromi, Matsui Takao
Just listening to it brings tears to your eyes, and at the very top of that list is the song “Tabidachi no Hi ni” (“On the Day of Departure”).
Back when there weren’t many so-called graduation songs, every school sang this one.
In fact, it has surpassed “Aogeba Tōtoshi” and “Okuru Kotoba” to become the most widely sung graduation song in the country.
The song was born from a teacher’s wish to gift it to graduating students—just that behind-the-scenes story alone is enough to make you cry.
In 2007, it was used in a commercial featuring SMAP, which helped cement its status as a quintessential “graduation song.” It is a true graduation anthem we hope to pass down to the next and the next generation.
