Thank you, Teacher: A Song of Gratitude for Teachers and Mentors — An Emotional Farewell Song for the Journey Ahead

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Her debut single, “Arigatou,” used as the theme song for the TV drama After-School Right Now, is a memorable track whose nostalgic melody rides on an evocative piano phrase.

As the protagonist looks at graduation photos and longs for days gone by, their bittersweet feelings are expressed through delicate lyrics and melody.

Included on the album “COBALT HOUR,” released in June 1975, this piece has been covered by many artists and continues to be loved across generations.

It was also used as the theme song for the film “Watch with Me: Graduation Photos,” which helped its charm become widely known.

It’s especially recommended for occasions like graduation ceremonies and reunions, when you meet old friends again.
