A masterpiece woven from a gentle singing voice that stays close to the heart and lyrics that gracefully portray nostalgia for days gone by.

Featured on the album “COBALT HOUR,” released by Yumi Arai in June 1975, this song delicately expresses life and change after graduation.

It lyrically spins memories of a cherished person who lives on forever within the warmth of reminiscence.

It was also selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Sotsu Uta” and the film “Watch with Me.” A heartwarming encouragement song to listen to in times of sorrow or at life’s crossroads.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with thoughts for your friends and teachers as graduation season arrives, I recommend “Sakura no Ki ni Narō.” It was released in 2011 by the national idol group AKB48 and was used as the theme song for the drama “Sakura kara no Tegami: AKB48 Sorezore no Sotsugyō Monogatari.” The song features a simple piano accompaniment with resonant strings.

Please listen to it while reflecting on the fun days of school life.

Its easy-to-sing melody and lyrics make it a recommended graduation song for elementary school students.

BUMP OF CHICKEN, the hugely popular rock band whose appearance on the 2021 Kohaku Uta Gassen was a hot topic, has lifted many people’s spirits with their refreshing sound and fairytale-like, beautiful worldview.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for elementary school students is “Tomodachi no Uta” (Song for Friends), released in 2011.

It was written as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels, which premiered the same year.

Friends are especially important for elementary schoolers, and this is a song that makes you want to cherish the friends who are by your side.

Here’s a perfect song for spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom! “Sakura Color” by the hugely popular vocal group GReeeeN, released on February 27, 2013.

Moving from a familiar place to somewhere new takes a lot of courage.

Even if you end up separated from your closest friends, this is a song that makes you feel like they’re always by your side in your heart.
