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!”

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.
