A graduation song by Berry Goodman that you’ll want to listen to in the season when cherry blossoms scatter.

Included on the March 2017 album “Spring Spring Spring,” this track conveys a message of sending someone off with a smile rather than tears, even as it portrays the sadness of parting.

Scenes from school life—like the playing field and the hallways—are woven into the lyrics, cleverly overlapping with each listener’s own memories.

It was also chosen as the ending theme for MBS’s program “ENT” in March, adding color to the season of farewells.

The arrangement by HiDEX offers an appealing sound that isn’t overly mellow and gives you the strength to move forward.

It’s perfect not only for graduation ceremonies—processional and recessional alike—but also for moments like retiring from a club or transferring to a new workplace, and other milestones in life.

It’s the ideal song for when you want to convey the feeling of ending not with tears, but with a smile.

Its sweet yet faintly wistful resonance perfectly suits the atmosphere of a graduation ceremony, where farewells and new beginnings intersect.

From a quietly introspective opening, it builds passionately before settling back into calm—a structure that paints a drama reminiscent of reflecting on days spent at school.

2 in D major by Alexander Borodin, a leading composer of 19th-century Russia, was composed in 1881 as a gift to his wife, Ekaterina, and premiered in St.

Its gently flowing lines will bring a quiet sense of emotion to the hearts of the departing children and those who watch over them.
