Classic songs about uniforms. Recommended popular tracks (1–10)
uniformMatsuda Seiko
On the B-side of the 1980 hit single “Akai Sweet Pea,” the A-side portrays a fresh, budding romance, while the B-side track, “Seifuku,” is a song about quietly saying goodbye to a classmate one has long had a crush on.
The boy hands over a note with his new address after moving, hinting at the possibility of starting a relationship, but the girl responds, “I’m fine with things as they are,” suggesting she has resolved something in her heart.
Take off the uniform and say goodbye…Nogizaka 46
A Nogizaka46 song that portrays the feelings of a girl saying goodbye to the special time called “uniform” and taking her first step into adulthood.
Sung by Asuka Saito and Minami Hoshino, who were both in high school at the time, their true-to-life voices further enhance the song’s fresh, innocent charm.
Listening to this track—which conveys not only hope for the future but also a tinge of sadness at leaving a familiar place—may bring back nostalgic memories of your own youth.
It’s included on the single Taiyo Knock, released in July 2015.
A refreshing, hope-filled anthem that gently supports hearts swaying with expectation and anxiety at the major milestone of graduation.

The last uniform we wear should be worn neatly, without any sloppiness.
Let’s take a commemorative photo at the end! While many graduation songs are gentle and meant to be listened to carefully, this one is a friendly, upbeat song that encourages us to move brightly toward the future—quite the opposite of tear-jerking graduation songs, it’s a cheerful graduation tune.

Because we’re friends.Ochiai Wataru
This song, which sings of the end of youth and a new beginning, was released in February 2022.
Wataru Ochiai’s warm vocals gently wrap around memories of our school days.
The days spent in uniforms, casual conversations with friends, fun times at karaoke… Each snapshot of everyday life is woven into lyrics that truly resonate.
While it carries the loneliness of parting, it’s filled with the hope of dreaming about the day we’ll meet again.
It’s perfect for graduations and reunions.
How about humming along with friends and soaking in those nostalgic memories?
JK//DISH//
DISH// is a group currently active with five men.
Their genre is a “dance rock band,” which may sound a bit unfamiliar, but when you listen to their songs, you’ll find yourself thinking, “Ah, I see.” The song I’m introducing, ‘JK//,’ is said to express their honest feelings toward JK, but it’s a track that could give off a risky vibe if handled the wrong way.
Parachute of the uniformBoku ga mitakatta aozora
The blue sky visible from the classroom window, the casual chatter with friends, that sudden flutter in your chest.
It’s a buoyant pop tune packed with the sparkle of youth.
The metaphor of a “parachute” for that irresistible rush of falling in love is brilliant, and just listening to it brings a sweet, bittersweet feeling to the surface.
This track is a unit song included on the single “Thinking About the Blue Sky,” released in August 2023 as the debut work of Bokuga Mitakatta Aozora.
Singing straight from the heart about the joy and ache of love, it turns ordinary days into something special.
Listen to it on the train to school or in those slightly sentimental after-school hours, and the scenery before you will surely look more vivid.
Our Uniform Christmas＝LOVE
Doesn’t the idea of spending Christmas in a school uniform make many hearts flutter? Walking through town at dusk with someone you like—the exhilaration and the slightly bittersweet mood blend beautifully in this quintessential winter song.
Producer Rino Sashihara poured her strong desire to create “a Christmas song” into this track, which was released in December 2017 as =LOVE’s second single and became one of the group’s signature early hits.
It lets you relive a sparkling page of youth, bringing back those sweet and sour memories from your school days.
Give it a listen when you want to feel the excitement of a budding romance all over again.
