[Departure] A Special Feature on Anime Songs to Hear at Graduation Ceremonies [Tearjerkers]

See youDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – See You Again (from DWL 2015 Live Ver.)

A bright, poppy number that’s quintessentially DREAMS COME TRUE.

It was used as the theme song for the film “One Piece: Episode of Chopper Plus – Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura.” When the sadness of graduation weighs on you, it can be surprisingly hard to say even a simple “You’ve got this” to your friends.

This is a song that transforms the loneliness of goodbye into a brighter feeling with the words, “Let’s meet again.”

ShineMindaRyn

MindaRyn – Shine (“SAKUGAN” Ending Theme Song) | Music Video

This is a song by Maidarin, a Thai YouTuber and anisong singer.

The lyrics evoke a new departure that recalls the story and themes of the anime SAKUGAN, while the refreshing sound suggests that this journey is filled with hope.

One of SAKUGAN’s central themes is the bond between parent and child, as well as setting out on a new journey.

This track portrays the protagonist Memempu’s perspective as a daughter—unable to be honest with her parent—alongside the hope that comes with departure.

It feels like a perfect song for graduation season.
