You can tell from the title alone that this is a song about friendship—BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Song of Friends.” Released in 2011 as their 18th single, it was the theme song for the film “Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels.” Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals make it a deeply moving number.

It’s highly recommended as a song to dedicate to a close friend, and for anyone who’s gone through graduation or a farewell with friends, it’s sure to strike a chord.

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s release “From the Window” is a song that beautifully portrays farewells and new beginnings from school days.

The lyrics, which weave together gratitude for friends and hopes for the future, are perfect for graduation milestones.

In particular, the part that appears toward the end is sure to resonate with hearts standing before a farewell.

Among the friends who have faced various challenges together throughout school life, I think there are some who feel not just like close friends, but also like rivals.

This song is filled with a burning determination to charge forward on the path you’ve chosen, without showing any weakness to those friends who are both your companions and your good rivals.

Having someone you can call a rival becomes a source of strength and motivation for yourself.

It’s a song that conveys a resolve to your rival—not “for the sake of my friends,” but “I’ll work hard so I won’t lose to them!”

Goodbye, see you.ET-KING

ET-KING’s “Sayonara Matana” is another track I’d love for anyone approaching graduation to hear.

Right now, you might be overwhelmed with sadness at the thought of parting from your friends, but when you look back after graduation and some time has passed, memories can give you courage.

Lyrics like “let’s keep walking forward with the memories of goofing around together and sharing our dreams” turn farewells into something positive.

It’s a song that will bridge everything you’ve shared with your friends up to now and everything that lies ahead.

When it comes to EXILE’s graduation songs, Michi (Road) is the one that stands out.

It reflects the many paths you walked with your friends up to graduation day.

From here on, as you face graduation, each of you will set out on a new path toward your own future.

While there’s a sense of loneliness in that, the song portrays moving forward into the future with unforgettable memories from along the way held close to your heart.

Above all, it’s a song filled with gratitude for dear friends you want to thank.

Accompanied by a warm melody, EXILE’s gentle harmonies are deeply moving.
