Since it was the set piece for the NHK All-Japan School Music Competition’s junior high division, many of you may have actually sung it yourselves.
Ryoki Mizuno, who wrote the lyrics and music, has said, “I look back on myself at fifteen, when I was deeply troubled…” The lyrics, which say that parting between people is not something sad but the start of each walking their own path, are a cheer addressed to everyone beginning a new life this spring.
If you feel lonely in an unfamiliar place, please listen to this song again.
The music video, filmed at a junior high school in Atsugi City, is also deeply moving—do watch it when you have the time.
Baitoru!meiyo
It’s an encouraging song by meiyo that wholeheartedly embraces both the excitement and the anxiety that come with starting a new part-time job.
Because the lyrics are based on roughly 14,500 real voices gathered on social media—things like “I want to support my faves” and “I want to go to concerts”—you can’t help but nod along and think, “I feel that!” Released in June 2023 as a tie-in for the “Baitoru New Life Support Project,” the track also features a self-cover as a bonus on the album POP SOS, which is a real treat for fans.
Even tough work becomes manageable when you think about the fun that lies ahead.

It’s as if the tender melody rides the spring breeze and soars into the sky.
The lyrics, which portray meetings, farewells, and irreplaceable friendship, will especially resonate with those graduating from school.
