It’s a classic you want to listen to during graduation season, when the scent of parting hangs in the air.
Written by singer-songwriter Kei Ogura—who produced numerous hits while working as a bank employee—this song was included on the B-side of his 1971 debut single “Shiosai no Uta.” It was broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in 1975 and later featured in an NTT commercial in 1993, remaining beloved across generations.
The farewell words, which deliberately refrain from calling out to a youth that has already passed, convey a dignified yet profound sense of sorrow.
With the warmth of folk and a universal melody that sinks into the heart, this piece gently accompanies both adults who look back fondly on days gone by and students about to set off on new journeys in the spring of new beginnings.

Also included on the album “Legend of the Phoenix,” the song—written by Yoko Aki and composed by Ryudo Uzaki—portrays a quiet resolve toward the future that lies beyond parting.
Transcending the bounds of being a theme song for any particular program, it is deeply etched in many people’s memories as the piece that closed her final concert at the Nippon Budokan.
Its lyrics, which accept farewell and strive to move forward, are sure to resonate with those facing graduation or life’s turning points.

Sakura rollFunatsu Mahiro
With the arrival of spring, the song that makes me want to listen is Masho Funatsu’s “Sakura Roll,” released in March 2021.
The title is a coined word that blends “sakura” (cherry blossoms) with a smartphone’s “camera roll,” a clever touch that layers the fleeting season with the enduring nature of memories.
This piece, graced by the soothing sound of acoustic guitar, features high school singer Ren on chorus; the overlap of their voices creates a beautiful harmony where warmth and wistfulness coexist.
The lyrics capture a contemporary feeling—the desire to etch fleeting moments into the heart like photographs—and gently resonate with those facing graduation or a new chapter in life.
It’s a highly recommended song to send with gratitude, while reflecting on days spent with friends or a loved one.
