GraduationKobukuro

Kobukuro "Graduation ~Chorus~"

This is a warm ballad created to send heartfelt cheers to those celebrating their graduation.

Kobukuro, the duo behind masterpieces like “Tsubomi,” produced it with the wish that it would be sung at graduation ceremonies.

Through down-to-earth scenes—like the classroom chalkboard and the view on the way home—it delicately portrays farewells with friends and hopes for the future.

Released in March 2020 as their 31st single, it drew attention as their first non-tie-in single in about 16 and a half years.

There’s also a version by a children’s choir, and its structure makes it easy to sing at actual ceremonies—another welcome point.

Its powerful message, one that turns unspoken gratitude and small regrets into cherished memories, is sure to gently support elementary school students as they take their first steps forward.
