Goodbye, helloItō Tsukasa
A graduation ceremony marks a turning point in life, etched as a special memory in everyone’s heart.
Sung by Tsukasa Ito, this song is a delicate youth anthem that folds both parting and reunion into a single word.
The lyrics and composition are by Taeko Onuki, with arrangement by Nobuyuki Shimizu.
It portrays the unspoken feeling of “I love you” and the first-love memories that suddenly resurface with time, building them through small everyday scenes.
Included on the 1982 album “Sayonara Konnichiwa,” it drew attention at the time for featuring a star-studded lineup of creators, including Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi.
Its urbane sound, infused with a New Wave sensibility, is refreshingly restrained, never overly sentimental.
It’s a perfect pick for quietly reflecting on memories during graduation season, or for anyone who wants to enjoy pop music that offers a different flavor from Showa-era idol kayō.
GoodbyeBLUE ENCOUNT
This is a rock ballad that reminds us farewells aren’t only sad.
It’s the title track of BLUE ENCOUNT’s seventh single, released in April 2017, and it marked the band’s first movie theme song as the main theme for The Last Cop: The Movie.
Written and composed by vocalist-guitarist Shunichi Tanabe, the song embraces the pain of loss head-on while instilling a powerful resolve to move forward with cherished memories held close.
Its melody, blending poignancy with warmth, was designed so you can belt it out even through tears.
It’s a perfect song for graduation—a fitting way to express gratitude to the teachers who have guided you and to declare your resolve for the road ahead.
A memorable masterpiece for anyone who has experienced parting with someone precious.
Because it’s someone I haven’t seen in three years.Harada Yuuri
Yuri Harada is an enka singer from Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture.
She studied music at the Faculty of Education at Kagoshima University and, after graduating, had an unusual career path as an elementary school music teacher.
Inspired by the powerful impact of Saburo Kitajima’s stage performance, she set her sights on becoming a singer and made her debut in June 1982.
Her signature songs include “Kisoji no Onna” and “Tsugaru no Hana,” both long beloved by karaoke fans.
She has won multiple Gold Awards at the Japan Record Awards and appeared in the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen for three consecutive years.
Her greatest appeal lies in her expressive power, often described as “acting in song.” The time she spent studying kayō rōkyoku under Yuriko Futaba has informed her singing, which delivers lyrics with meticulous care.
Snow in MarchMakihara Noriyuki
A song by Noriyuki Makihara that delicately captures the atmosphere of those few days just after the graduation ceremony.
It was included on the album “Kimi wa Dare to Shiawase na Akubi o Shimasu ka,” released in September 1991, the same record that features the smash hit “Donna Toki mo.” The title is striking, evoking the lingering traces of winter that suddenly drift down like snow in a season meant to be heading toward spring—mirroring the fleeting chill that visits a heart trying to move forward.
Its lyrics, where affection for the days spent with friends intersects with the resolve to step out on separate paths, carefully scoop up the emotions that waver at life’s turning points.
Everyday imagery—like the lanes of a bowling alley—helps summon each listener’s own memories.
It’s a perfect track not only for those about to graduate, but also for anyone who wants to look back on their youthful days.
Goodbye, Secret Baseshiritsu ebisu chūgaku
A song that uses a childhood hideout as its motif to portray parting and the preservation of memories.
It’s included on Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku’s seventh full-length album, “Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku,” released in March 2022.
Kenta Aloha handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, imbuing the song with a distinctive feel in the density of its words and the flow of its melody.
The lyrics are sprinkled with expressions tied to physical sensations—like embracing and checking answers—that convey the urgency of time that can’t be reclaimed, while also holding a determination to move forward.
It’s been performed live and has grown into a song that fosters a strong sense of unity in the venue.
A gently resonant number that’s perfect for graduation season, as you look back on days with friends and take your next step forward.

366 daysHY
A signature ballad by HY, released in 2008 and widely known as the theme song for the film “Red Thread.” “366 Days” has been covered by many artists and is especially popular.
It’s basically composed in a lower range; if you resonate in your mouth and sing with a deep tone, you can achieve a powerful voice like Izumi Nakasone’s.
The key is switching to falsetto in the pre-chorus—if you don’t nail that, it feels hard to flow smoothly into the chorus.
Aim gently and accurately for the pitch bar there.
The chorus builds up a lot, so singing with an explosive burst of emotion should also help enhance your expressiveness!
