DepartureGReeeeN12rank/position

GReeeeN – Departure

Tabidachi by GReeeeN portrays a long-distance relationship that begins when one partner leaves to pursue their dreams.

Though parting is surely lonely, the song is told from the perspective of the one seeing their loved one off, saying, “Go give it your all!” Released in 2008, it follows the protagonist as they look back on memories from the day they met up to the present and write a letter filled with encouragement for their partner’s departure.

Leaving the side of someone important may be inevitable when you’re both chasing your dreams.

But precisely because that person is so precious, perhaps sending them off with a smile and without tears is the greatest cheer you can give.

It’s a song that turns the ache of loneliness into the strength to be considerate of the one you love.

GReeeeN – Hello Kagerou

A track by GReeeeN that was used as the theme song for the PyeongChang Olympics held in 2018.

This song, which gives a push to the many people striving at the Olympics, will also cheer on those giving their all at school sports festivals.

A sports festival isn’t a grand stage like the Olympics, nor is it something everyone watches with bated breath.

Yet it holds emotions that are no less moving than the Olympics.

For the sake of just one day, there are many days of effort—days of joy and sometimes tears—leading up to it.

This is a song like an anthem for those who keep walking forward through such days.

It will be a song that colors the memories of you who have persevered without giving up.
