The 2015 Academic Year Graduation Ceremony was held on March 26 at the Nippon Budokan in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo with 7,283 graduates (6,404 undergraduates and 879 graduate school students) ambitiously embarking on a new chapter in their lives.

The ceremony was held in two separate sessions, in the morning and in the afternoon, for both undergraduates and graduate school students. President Kenichi Fukumiya presented the diplomas to each of the undergraduate and graduate school representatives. Next, Kensou Hidaka, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Masao Mukaidono, Chairman of the Alumni Association took the platform for a congratulatory address, and each offered encouragement to the graduates.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, messages from graduates who are active in society were streamed across a screen inside the venue, and the attendees all sang the school song in unison. The graduates reluctantly left their friends and former teachers and departed the venue, heading towards their new lives.
