[@sophia_6873]

I heard this in Fruits Basket a year or so ago and it left an impression on me, came across it again in Blue Period so I finally found it! Graduated three years ago, but I still get so nostalgic about it They weren’t easy days, but a lot simpler and there’s a lot of people and things I miss. Trying to enjoy today though. Never know how precious something is until it’s gone so, maybe today is just as precious as well :’)

[@lovecherrymaocross]

I sang "Aogeba Toutoshi" at a graduation ceremony in my high school. Ah.... I wish I could go back to those days....... T-T

[@kingkaran-rq5ti]

Bro its been 9years.

[@emilyzhang5651]

Heard about this somg from Watamote, so I thought I might listen to it to see how it sounds like. It sounds pretty good.

[@meleemastermaa1449]

Japan sure is a nice place. In my school all we had was to get the results of the final tests and get the fuck off.

[@MaitreeBoro17]

I heard it first from Sakurasou, but then again in Angel Beats! Had to look it up :')

[@zeryle]

Sakarasou, Angel Beats, now We Never Learn... This song just makes me sad, makes me remember a lot of things, its been 4 years since I finished the school, and im crying remembering being with my friends, I just keep in contact with 2 or 3, and... I really miss the others

[@user-C8881]

This song reminds me of my graduation oh wait, my school didn't even have a graduation ceremony

[@imthebossmermaid3648]

So what did you have, then?

[@Crimsonriven]

this is so beautiful I would bawl my eyes out if I had to sing this at my graduation >>

[@yamatodamashii1179]

That’s the point. The Japanese love exploiting emotion. Live through 17 years of sitting through this and sending your fellow teachers off to their next school in literally the same way kamikaze pilots were sent off and you’ll start counting the minutes in your head, how many minutes of speeches you’ll have to sit seiza staring at your sushi warming till you can drink!!!! If you need further explanation, I’ll lay the math out for you.

[@Natanieru_]

Im actually singing this at my graduation

[@cionnar]

Hm. I find it rather interesting how no matter the language, a graduation song always has a graduation-y feel to it. Also, yay for WataMote~

[@Yaiyo]

I got really choked up watching this. I just graduated high school two months ago, so I'm still pretty emotional about it.

[@thegreensteelball2454]

Because Corona, i sacrified a year and two months, started when i was 1st year (when i write this i'm in 2nd year) Hearing this kind of song make me shivering, thinking that i almost be a 3rd year of high school student, and i literally didn't make any memorable thing yet. Thinking about me in future, can be sad or depressed remembering i don't have good memory at high school. Just hoping that i can go to school again as soon as possible

[@mshayashi]

I have listened to several versions of this magnific song. This is one of the best. Thanks for the hard work of uploading.

[@ChristofKSGN]

So you come here after reading it too? Well, I was just curious of what the song would be so I came here and I already knew the song by watching Angel Beats!. You really made me spit laughed when I see your comment.

[@thesavior8541]

huh so that's what Kuroki's Graduation Ceremony song would sound like good to know

[@superjiroro02174]

Im here for my pilgrimage. Our graduation got cancelled due to CO ID but I came here due to Ao Haru Ride, Chapter 49.2 Awaken 2.

[@_chonkywoofwoof]

That sucks, they cancelled it for good or will they let you march when everything settles down?

[@dougtwitty9665]

Sorry about your かがの卒業😢

[@giulias.4151]

When we graduated, my classmates and I didn't even looked in the eyes of one another, glad hell had finally ended. So...it's really a dreamy song this one 😂😂

I will learn this by heart. No one can stop me. I will sing this to my friends when I am drunk. It's one year till our graduation.

Thank you for this awesome clip.

[@ie9rws]

There are many different parts between Japanese and English. But I know why, because they have distinguished ways to express things. I speak well of him, the translator. He worked hard anyway. Still you must know what it says originally in Japanese when you learn Japanese and it's written by a bit old Japanese. There are so many words which we don't use longer. :)

[@musicasecretasapientiae]

これは最高の曲です

[@morchela]

Recently I was reading about this and read that some years ago a japanese academic found a 19th century US school song book with a music sheet in which this song probably was based. If that's true it's still unknow how it reached Japan. You can hear it in the Wiki.

[@DaughterOfDreamMaker]

Ao Haru Ride... But wow the lyrics make graduation seem that much sadder. I'll just think 'wait until we meet in the future' because not everything ends. In fact, you can meet again if you keep in touch and try your best. Positive hopes!

[@OmaChief]

came from Watamote manga lol. Just wanted to hear the actual graduation song

[@angus9610]

This song was born in America(So I wonder why it isn't well-known in the U.S. despite its beautiful melody and lyrics...) and the Japanese have translated the lyrics into Japanese. Likewise many Japanese people, I sang this song in the graduation ceremony of my elementary school. Complex feelings I had when I graduated are perfectly reflected on the lyrics and the melody of the song expresses the sadness and loneliness of graduation. I love the song.

[@kazedayo4553]

For some reasons it made me tear up when I heard it for the first time in tenki no ko .. I've been searching for this for quite a while

[@Archraveful]

riddle story of the devil and azumanga daioh brought me here. love this song

[@Steel_blade_alchemist]

I found this song cause I've heard it growing up

[@polipoli159]

About this song－Aogeba tōtoshi. In January 2011, Hitotsubashi University professor emeritus Masato Sakurai announced that he believed he had found the origins of the song in an English school music book published in the United States in 1871.

[@Kirisakishinji]

I wonder how it feel when the graduation come to those third years! I think it kinda sad and kinda happy!

[@incognitotomato9061]

So japan has a song that emphasizes the memories they made during school and the friendships they formed. The US just has multiple trumpets blaring in your ear

[@evolvedweeb9286]

Most of these people came to this video because they heard it in a anime like Sakurasou, Angel Beats, Kakegurui, Assassination Classroom, Watamote, Azumanga, and Zatch Bell which I had no idea existed. Heard and watched the others but not Zatch Bell. So basically any anime that has a graduation episode makes people go to this video. Nice to know, just got here because of Kiniro Mosaic

[@BillRalens]

The music is not unknown. It's the song for the closing of the schools
