AKB48’s “Sakura no Shiori” is also very popular as a graduation song.

Released in 2010 as AKB’s 15th single, it featured Minami Takahashi and Atsuko Maeda in the center positions.

The music video is memorable for the members in furisode kimono, and unlike a catchy idol pop tune, it’s a choral piece—something a bit different.

It’s a perfect choice for a graduation chorus.

For those about to graduate, it’s a tearjerker that brings out strong feelings toward friends and teachers.
