I may not have much yet, but this is a song that makes me want to walk my own path to seize what lies ahead.

I can’t see tomorrow, but it’s enough to move forward as myself.

secret base ~What You Gave Me~ ZONE (Full)

I think many of us have memories from elementary school of building secret hideouts and sharing secrets with friends.

Parting with such precious companions is heartbreaking.

This song also believes we’ll meet again someday as we each go our own way in life.

It’s bittersweet, but having friends like that is truly reassuring, isn’t it?

flumpool “Proof” Music Video (Full Chorus ver.)

Although “Akashi” was released in 2011, it’s a ballad that has grown in stature over time, beloved as an NHK music competition set piece and as a graduation song.

It’s filled with earnest feelings for friends who are setting off on their own paths, and the more you listen, the more the words sink in and your emotions well up.

You don’t really want to part, but you set out to fulfill your dreams… The days of arguing, laughing, and crying together will never fade, no matter how much time passes.

When you feel like you might lose heart, I believe “Akashi” will give you strength.
