Songs to use in the memory movie. Let’s look back on our memories before graduation!

Youth PhotographLittle Glee Monster

[Little Glee Monster] Youth Photograph [Litoguri]

If you don’t want a somber, sentimental memory movie, this bright, up-tempo song is highly recommended! Just like its title, “Seishun Photograph,” the lyrics zoom in on youth, making it a perfect fit.

With a song like this, I hope everyone takes smiling photos together at the end of the graduation ceremony! There are many eras of Little Glee Monster that live in my heart, and the freshness from this period is wonderful too.

For a memory movie, it’s a great idea to insert cuts that really capture the atmosphere of school—like the blackboard, uniforms, and behind the school building.

Amazingly, the music video for this song itself is structured like a memory movie.

Editors, be sure to use it as a reference!

Hey, my friendMr.forute

Mr. Fōrute – Hey, My Friend [Official Music Video]

A song perfect for the milestone of graduation is “Naa, My Friend” by Mr.

Fōrte.

Released in 2021, this track is upbeat yet features a melody that evokes the bittersweetness of friendship, making it ideal for farewell moments.

Capturing unforgettable school days, the song is sure to inspire and move not only graduates but everyone who listens.

I recommend “Naa, My Friend” as background music to enhance a graduation video.

To the days without a nameyama

yama “To the Nameless Days” MV

This is the seventh digital single by yama, a singer who keeps their profile private and made a striking major debut in 2020 after working as a vocalist and in bands.

The track was provided for episode 2 of Seven-Eleven’s original anime, and its graduation-themed lyrics paired with a breezy, floating arrangement feel so refreshing.

The lyrics, which look back on youth, might make you feel both joy and loneliness when you listen while flipping through photos full of memories.

It’s a number that blends pop brightness with a touch of melancholy—perfect as BGM for a graduation memory video marking a new chapter.

Friend ~Time to Depart~yuzu

Yuzu “Friend ~The Time of Departure~”

The hardest part of graduation season is saying goodbye to the close friends you’ve made, isn’t it? When you think back on the tough club practices and the days you got through entrance exam study together, your chest tightens with emotion.

A song I recommend that gathers those precious memories into one album is “Yū ~Tabidachi no Toki~” by Yuzu.

Its lyrics are filled with gratitude for the past and a message that we’ll stay friends from here on out, making it a perfect track for a graduation movie’s BGM.

With this song, all those dazzling memories will keep your bond with your friends connected forever.

Kobukuro “Graduation”

This is a graduation song that looks back on memories one by one.

It’s a track by the duo Kobukuro, who have produced numerous masterpieces like “Wadachi” and “Tsubomi,” released in 2020 as their 31st single.

It truly feels like the quintessential graduation song, with beautiful sound and choral work that stirs the emotions.

The memories of school life last a lifetime.

It’s a memorable ballad that makes you want to never forget your classmates or your school, no matter how much time passes.
