As a graduation song, this classic by Yumi Matsutoya has been listened to and cherished for years.

Created during her “Yumi Arai” era, it was originally provided as the debut single for Hi-Fi Set and later self-covered by her on the 1975 album COBALT HOUR.

While it’s a staple among graduation songs, this piece actually sings about what comes after graduation.

Looking at old graduation photos and recalling those days—feeling nostalgic yet recognizing how much one has changed—this emotional landscape makes it a masterpiece that resonates even with those for whom graduation is a distant memory.

Do you remember the famous line, “Let your heart sparkle with dreams, let tomorrow shine”? I can’t count how many times the movie and drama ROOKIES have made me cry.

The song Haruka is well known as the theme song for Toho’s film ROOKIES: Graduation.

Its lyrics overflow with gratitude—toward one’s parents, and with the realization that we’ve always been supported by someone, and thanks for all of that.

If you’re struggling with a new chapter in life, listen to this song; I’m sure it will lift your spirits! By the way, fans apparently bought two CDs: the May 27 release and the slightly different June 10 release.
