A collection of moving graduation song classics you’ll want to sing at karaoke! [Farewells • Friendship • Fight Songs] (111–120)
Sakura, Bloom!storm
Arashi’s “Sakura Sake” is a song that evokes a bright future after graduation.
Released in 2005 as their 14th single, it topped the Oricon Singles Chart.
It has ranked highly on various lists, including Music Station’s “2020 Graduation Song Ranking” on TV Asahi.
Among graduation songs, which are often reflective or bittersweet, this one stands out as an exceptionally happy track.
Sakura RabbitTakaya Kawasaki
Singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki quickly rose to prominence when “Mahou no Juutan” (Magic Carpet), included on his debut album I believe in you, became a massive hit on TikTok.
His first digital single, “Sakura Usagi,” is a graduation song written for students who lost the chance to hold graduation ceremonies and other events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The scene of wanting to express your feelings on the very last day but not having the courage is something many can relate to.
It’s a gentle yet heartrending acoustic number, perfect for singing at karaoke to voice the feelings you couldn’t say.
sepiaYu Takahashi
A song that sings about the importance of close people you can only meet once in a while amid busy days.
Praying that you’ll meet again and singing, “Let’s make it a smiling goodbye,” this piece seems perfect for pledging to reunite after graduation.
Its gentle piano accompaniment and passionate vocal delivery make for a comforting track.
GraduationYu Takahashi
When we think of graduation, besides farewells and loneliness, I think there’s also anxiety and a vague sense of hope.
Hearing Yu Takahashi’s sincere way of singing about that hazy hope and the sadness of the moment makes me want to belt it out at karaoke.
It’s not just for graduation—since the song also suits times like moving house or even at a small live gig, it’s a great choice when you want to let your feelings out.
CheersTsuyoshi Nagabuchi
This song, a staple at weddings and graduations, is an anthem cheering on those standing at major turning points in life.
Its straightforward, masculine delivery grabs your heart and won’t let go.
It’s pretty cool if you can belt it out without looking at the lyrics.
Be My Baby on the LipsAKB48
A very fast-paced, powerful melody, and a bittersweet love song about someone who can’t quite find the courage to take a step forward.
Strictly speaking, it’s not a song about graduation, but since it was Minami Takahashi’s graduation single—she had supported AKB48 for many years—it can be considered a major milestone track.

From the rap-like melodic lines to the catchy, memorable chorus, it gave me a calming impression as I listened.
It’s a perfect song for the graduation season that makes you want to say thank you.
I hope you’ll share that gratitude at karaoke.
