Your Graduation1986OMEGATRIBE

Released in May 1986 as the B-side of the single, it stands in contrast to the sparkling summer song on the A-side, carefully portraying bittersweet scenes of graduation season and the wavering emotions that come with it.
In fact, this was the very first track Carlos Toshiki recorded in Japan as the lead vocalist, and his delicate, translucent voice strikingly enhances the worldview of the lyrics, which dwell on the sorrow of parting.
While it never had any major tie-ins, it has continued to be included without fail on remastered album editions and special box sets, a testament to its long-lasting affection.
It’s a deeply moving song that I especially recommend to those standing at the major threshold of graduation, carrying a mix of uncertainty and hope.

As it reflects on her journey so far, her vocals, filled with determination to move forward into the future, are impossible to listen to without tears.
It’s a coupling track included on the limited first edition TYPE-A of the single “Masaka no Confession,” released in April 2025, with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto.
