Home Away from Home - 慶應義塾幼稚舎・Dragon School エクスチェンジ 30周年記念曲

"Home Away from Home"
A Song Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Keio Yochisha–Dragon School Exchange
This song was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the exchange between Keio Yochisha Elementary School in Japan and Dragon School in Oxford, UK.
The lyrics were inspired by words shared by students from both schools during the 29th exchange. They express the friendship that has grown through the exchange, the memories created together, and the special bond that connects the two school communities.
Created through a collaboration between the music staff of both schools, this song looks back on 30 years of shared memories and celebrates the enduring connection between Keio Yochisha and Dragon School. May it serve as a lasting symbol of their friendship for generations to come.
