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.
Search for Diamond Lily＝LOVE
Cherry blossoms, an old school building, a uniform button—packed with such scenes of spring, this =LOVE song is the group’s fifth single, released in April 2019.
With lyrics written by Rino Sashihara and a fresh melody crafted by multiple composers, it pairs a bright tempo with lyrics that gently ache with the passage of time.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and earned a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
The track was also featured in Mr.
Fusion’s programming school “Prosta Kids” commercial.
In its story-driven music video, the turmoil of parting with friends is portrayed with care.
It’s recommended not only for those approaching graduation, but also for anyone who struggles to put their gratitude for friends into words.
Listen as spring arrives, and you’ll feel moved to cherish the time you have with the people who matter most.
cherry blossomMoriyama Naotaro
This song, a massive hit in 2003, is a masterpiece that depicts parting and reunion through the beauty and transience of cherry blossoms.
Naotaro Moriyama’s clear vocals and the simple, piano-centered arrangement resonate deeply with listeners.
The lyrics, which liken cherry blossoms scattering at the very moment they are in full bloom to the turning points of life, evoke both the poignancy of a departure and a forward-looking hope.
Chosen as the ending theme for the MBS/TBS program “Sekai Ururun Taizai-ki,” it sold over one million copies.
In 2019, it was revived with a new arrangement as the theme song for the drama “同期のサクラ” (Synchrony’s Sakura), and it continues to be loved across generations.
Sung at a graduation ceremony—one of life’s important milestones—it will etch memories with friends and a resolve for the future even more deeply.
Sazae-sanUno Yuuko
Sunday evening brings the familiar theme song of a beloved national anime! Needless to say, it’s the opening theme for Fuji TV’s anime “Sazae-san,” released in 1969.
In fact, Ms.
Uno’s main profession is chanson singer, but during the recording, composer Kyohei Tsutsumi showed up and had her sing from sheet music at sight, almost like an audition.
The decisive factor was the judgment that “it’s better without sultriness,” and her bright, crisp voice was chosen.
It’s a classic anime song that people of all generations can sing.
PSYCHOFurui Riho
While projecting full confidence, deep down it’s a candid portrait of someone battling anxiety and impatience—a down-to-earth, bare-all track.
Released by Furui Riho in August 2023, its appeal lies in a cool sound where danceable, R&B-based beats intertwine with indie rock–styled guitar riffs.
The way it wryly sings about dark emotions like the need for validation and self-loathing instead brings out a richly human allure.
By revealing the vulnerability behind the bravado, it grabs listeners’ hearts.
At karaoke, try laying your true feelings bare in your delivery—you might just close the distance with that special someone in one go.
