For children, the prospect of finally becoming elementary school students can come with a lot of anxiety.

In times like that, I want them to listen to this song, “Ketsui no Asa ni” (“On the Morning of Resolve”).

It was also used as the theme song for the animated film Brave Story, and its lyrics are inspiring enough to give you courage just by listening.

On the morning of the entrance ceremony, listen to this song and bravely go make some friends.

Enrollment Support Song: “I’ve Grown Up—Off I Go!” [Shimajiro Channel Official]

This is a song to cheer on moms and dads as their child starts school.

It portrays the joy and loneliness of watching a child—who’s always been by your side—enter elementary school and begin experiencing all kinds of new things.

Although the song was written about starting kindergarten, it’s just as moving to listen to at an entrance ceremony!

School of Medaka

[Song] Medaka no Gakkō (The Medaka School) <Medaka no gakkō wa~♪> with Lyrics | Elementary School | Japanese Songs | Nursery Rhyme | Children’s Song | Songs Babies Love | Kids | Japanese Children’s Song | Gakken Kids TV

“Medaka no Gakkō” (The Minnows’ School), which is also selected for the “100 Best Japanese Songs,” is a tune that has been cherished for generations, so many people—from children to adults—know it.

Though it’s set in the world of minnows, I think it’s a fun song that helps you imagine what a school is like.

New first graders often feel anxious about what elementary school is like and how it differs from daycare or kindergarten.

In times like that, why not ease those feelings with this cheerful song? It might be nice for current students and new students to sing it together at the entrance ceremony.
