Here’s the signature song by singer-songwriter Takako Okamura, released in 1987.

With a piano-based, gentle melody and a tender, conversational vocal delivery, it’s a track that truly touches the heart.

Interestingly, although the song was originally written with heartbreak as its theme, its lyrics—cheering someone on while watching them walk away—have led it to be embraced over time as a graduation song and an anthem of encouragement.

It has been used on the high school baseball program “Netto Koshien,” included in middle school music textbooks, and sung across generations.

In 2005, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Gyakkyō Nine” (No More Cry!!!).

It’s perfect for those who want to perform it with feelings of gratitude and support for friends or juniors setting out on a new path.

The chord progression is relatively gentle, so why not try it as a vocal-and-piano rendition?
