A perfect classic for the spring season by Makoto Kawamoto.
With a gentle, distinctive perspective, it sings of the feelings stirred by gazing at a graduation certificate and thinking of parting with friends, and the loneliness of being left alone amid a scene of falling cherry blossoms.
The buoyant piano melody and her clear, expansive vocals vividly color the faint memories of youth.

The emotions of youth and the imagery of drifting cherry blossoms are rendered in a way that gently soaks into the heart.
Sakura MelodyMakihara Noriyuki
Sakura Melody, included on Noriyuki Makihara’s 2020 self-cover album Bespoke.
This song was originally written by Makihara for a collaboration between Miliyah Kato and Shota Shimizu.
When we think of partings in the cherry blossom season, is it graduation? Or leaving one’s hometown for a job? The lyrics portray the resolve of two people who will each walk their separate paths from now on.
Once again, Makihara’s characteristic gentle, airy warmth in the lyrics tightens the chest.

This song, Michi (“Road”), has become a standard graduation song.
It was EXILE’s 23rd single, released in 2007.
It comes from an era when the group had a somewhat different, more mature image than today.
It’s a perfect track for the season of setting off—graduation, leaving where you are now.
You can feel the inner conflict and dilemma of not wanting to part with the stability and joy of the present, yet knowing you have to move forward.
Listen for how the flow shifts between the first and second verses, too.
DepartureGReeeeN
Speaking of GReeeeN, their lyrics with strong storytelling are really appealing.
This song, too, weaves a single, grand narrative.
It begins with love at first sight, but it’s about a boy who tries to see off a girl with a smile—hiding his sadness—as she leaves their hometown to chase her dreams.
March is a season of many farewells, like graduations and job transfers.
Some people may even be facing a goodbye with someone important.
This is a song that comforts the feeling of wanting to say, with a smile, “Do your best,” as you see them off.
