the world of dreamssakushi: furō akiko / sakkyoku: hashimoto shōji
Memories of treading on fallen leaves, an avenue bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the chirping of small birds, and the clear scene of a babbling brook.
Interweaving these tangible touches of nature, this song calls on friends to share their dreams together.
Born from an NHK music program in the 1970s and later arranged as a choral piece, it was composed by Yoshimichi Hashimoto, who, while deeply involved in creating educational materials at Kyoiku Geijutsu Sha, left behind many works that balance singability with evocative imagery.
Its gentle, swaying 6/8 rhythm naturally supports a sense of walking and the flow of scenery, and the structure—expanding from unison in the first half to full chorus in the latter—is a highlight.
It is a song that quietly encourages children to take a new step on the special day of graduation, as they look back on memories with their friends.
pinky promiseSakushi: Shinzawa Toshihiko / Sakkyoku: Nakagawa Hirotaka
The song “Yubikiri” makes you want to promise, “We’ll be friends forever,” as you remember days spent with friends.
The lyrics are by Toshihiko Shinzawa and the music is by Hirotaka Nakagawa.
Set against everyday, simple scenes, the song warmly and movingly portrays children’s shifting emotions and unchanging friendship.
Although it was originally released around 2007, it was included in the best-of album “Toshihiko Shinzawa & Hirotaka Nakagawa: Full of Songs,” released in July 2017, and has since become beloved at many preschools and kindergartens.
It’s also lovely to sing while making the pinky-swear gesture and looking at each other’s faces.
Please consider choosing this piece for important occasions like graduation or farewell ceremonies to deepen the bonds between friends.

youthful daysMr.Children
It’s a track driven by a exhilarating, fast-paced band sound, with lyrics that vividly capture everyday moments and strike right at the heart.
Released as a Mr.Children single in November 2001, many may remember it as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Antique: Western Confectionery.” Its worldview—depicting the conflicts of youth and the fleeting nature of time that vanishes in an instant—shines with Kazutoshi Sakurai’s uniquely sharp sensibility.
The melody, like water soaking into a parched heart, is perfect for a sunny-day drive or those moments when you feel like looking back on the past.
EulogySatsuki
A song by Vocaloid producer Satsuki, released in November 2025.
It was submitted to the anonymous posting event Colorless Transparent Festival 3.
Featuring layered vocals by Kasane Teto and Adachi Rei, the piece sings words of remembrance for the departed.
The emotions wavering between memories preserved in the digital realm and the sense of loss in reality come through with aching clarity.
Try listening alone at night while thinking of someone dear—you’ll likely be left with a deep, lingering aftertaste.
Scent of a DreamNogizaka 46
“Yume no Nioi,” included on the 40th single “Biryani” released in November 2025, is a graduation solo song performed by 3rd-generation member Shiori Kubo.
Its gentle melody and her clear, translucent vocals convey her resolve to leave the group and move forward on a new path.
It also fulfills the words she exchanged with fans around 2017—“A solo song in eight years?”—an episode that alone is enough to stir the heart.
It’s a warm ballad that quietly supports those standing at a crossroads in life.
youHayashi Kazuki
This is a track included on the album “to,” which was entirely self-produced by Kazuki Hayashi, who also performs as a vocalist for DOBERMAN INFINITY.
Released in December 2025, the work is marked by a mellow sound rooted in R&B that’s uniquely his, and lyrics that vividly capture the emotions at the moment of parting.
The atmosphere of the morning when the key is returned, the room still bearing traces of the two of them—these depictions of lingering attachment mixed with gratitude toward a love that has ended are sure to stir listeners’ memories.
The true feelings hidden behind the lie “I didn’t love you” cut painfully deep, making this a track that’s impossible to hear without tears.
It’s a beautiful ballad best enjoyed alone on a night when you want to soothe the wounds of a broken heart, as his sweet, aching vocals seep gently into your soul.
bug zapperKarasuya Sabō
How about surrendering yourself to a swing rhythm that just wanders through the night city? This work by Vocaloid producer Karasuyasabo was released in November 2025.
Using the habit of insects gathering around light as its motif, it portrays the relationship between “me” and “you,” who are drawn to each other even while knowing it’s ruinous.
You can’t resist Kasane Teto SV’s glossy, slightly languid vocals.
And the guitar played by Takeaki Wada has such a chic tone that the more you listen, the deeper you sink into its irresistible swamp.
