Tabidachi no Hi ni (旅立ちの日に? , "On the Day of Departure") is an ending-credits song from Episode 26 of Nichijou performed by Yukko, Mio, Mai, Nano, Hakase and Sakamoto.

Creation of song[]

Noboru Kojima, who was principal of Kagemori Junior High School, located in city of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, wanted to make his troublesome school better. So he decided to make it a "Singing school" (「歌声の響く学校」?), and assisted in creation of a chorus. At first, student resisted that idea, but as a result of persistent efforts of school's music teacher, Hiromi Sakamoto, school became brighter due to the joy of singing.

In late February 1991, Sakamoto asked Kojima to write lyrics for the song for graduates. At first principal refused, but the next day lyrics were placed on Sakamoto's desk. Sakamoto was impressed by the lyrics written by principal, and during one of her breaks she composed the song, which took approximately 15 minutes.

The completed song was sung for the first time as a surprise at farewell party for third-year students by school's faculty. This year, Kojima retired after 41 years working in school, so this was the first and last time he performed. This performance was intended to be the only one, but the following year, students also sung that song.

The popularity of the song spread, and since it has become a classic graduation song in Japan.

Lyrics[]

白い光の中に 山なみは萌えて
遥かな空の果てまでも 君は飛び立つ
限り無く青い空に 心ふるわせ
自由を駆ける鳥よ ふり返ることもせず

勇気を翼にこめて希望の風にのり
このひろい大空に夢をたくして

shiroi hikari no naka ni yama-nami wa moete
harukana sora no hate made mo kimi wa tobitatsu
kagirinaku aoi sora ni kokoro furuwase
jiyū o kakeru toriyo furi kaeru koto mo sezu

yūki o tsubasa ni komete kibō no kaze ni nori
kono hiroi ōzora ni yume o takushite

I can see the figure of mountains clearly in the white light
You're flying far away to the end of the distant sky
You're encouraged, seeing this vast blue sky
There the birds are flying their own way, never looking back

You have your courage with your wing
You've got the wind of hope
And you are setting out on a journey to this great sky with your dream
