Youth PhotographLittle Glee Monster
Little Glee Monster’s second single, “Seishun Photograph,” released in 2015.
The title alone evokes that quintessential feeling, and the lyrics spotlight themes of graduation and friendship.
Centered on photographs as its motif, it’s a perfect song to use as background music for a movie dedicated to friends.
It’s an upbeat and cute friendship anthem, yet the lyrics hide little traps here and there that might bring a tear to your eye.
Song of DepartureMr.Children
Mr.Children’s “Tabidachi no Uta” is a song perfectly suited to the important milestone of graduation.
It served as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and was also used in NTT East’s corporate commercials.
Alongside the film’s backdrop, it inspires hope for the future rather than dwelling on the sadness of parting.
The lyrics express gratitude for encounters and convey a message that celebrates a new departure rather than a farewell.
It’s a song that connects a lifelong bond of friendship not by distance, but by heart.
This moving track—perfect for expressing support and affection for friends—is loved by many generations.
Even when far apart, its powerful message of wishing happiness for friends resonates as a heartfelt ballad.

Graduation marks a milestone that decorates a page of youth.
SHISHAMO’s “Mizuiro no Hibi” is a song that gently accompanies this bittersweet time.
Asako Miyazaki’s heartfelt vocals convey feelings of friendship and gratitude.
It’s the perfect track to welcome a new departure while holding unforgettable memories close.
The refreshing band sound colors the atmosphere of a graduation ceremony and awakens a soaring feeling.
When you want to look back on the fun days you spent together, their music delivers the message that fits just right.
Prologue.Yuika
Drawing attention as a song that symbolizes the season of departures, Yuika’s “Prologue” sings of youth wrapped in friendship.
Its heartwarming lyrics convey gratitude to friends who shared countless memories and a hopeful gaze toward the future, gently resonating with listeners.
Released in 2023, this track celebrates both the end of youth and a new beginning, with her crystal-clear vocals blending with acoustic guitar to create a finely tuned pop ensemble.
It is sure to become a touching anthem for anyone facing graduation or farewell.
Kizunazundare
For those who can express gratitude fairly honestly to family or a partner, but get too embarrassed to say it to friends, we recommend “Kizuna” sung by Zundare.
You spend time together as if it’s the most natural thing in the world, and before you know it, graduation day arrives.
This song is filled with memories of the days you’ve shared, the sadness of parting, and the “thank you” you’ve always wanted to say.
The bittersweet track really resonates in your chest, too.
Listen to it with your friends and take the time to fully savor your goodbyes.
Friend ~Time of Departure~yuzu
This song, Yuzu’s “Tomo ~Tabidachi no Toki~,” which also aired on NHK’s Minna no Uta, has very simple lyrics and words, yet they carry a great weight—you can feel the deep, heavy emotions in it.
Released in 2013 as Yuzu’s 38th single, it was also chosen as the set piece for that year’s NHK All-Japan School Music Competition.
It’s a friendship song that resonates in the heart, packed with the feelings of graduating, parting from friends, and anxieties about the future—something many can relate to.
Tsubasaandāgurafu
When you feel like your heart is about to break from the sadness of parting with friends, I want you to listen to Under Graph’s “Tsubasa.” “Tsubasa” was their debut single, and once it started playing on the radio, word of mouth spread quickly and it became a big hit.
There are many appealing elements—impassioned vocals, a dry-edged sound—but what I especially want to highlight is the structure of the lyrics.
The song opens with a farewell scene and goes on to portray the longing for friends after graduation.
That’s why it’s a masterpiece you can keep empathizing with long after you graduate.
