Released by Ikimono-gakari in January 2008, this work portrays the pure feelings of youth alongside the gentle scenery of spring.
While incorporating traditional Japanese expressions and polite language, it beautifully balances an old-fashioned charm with a modern sensibility.
The melody is based on a yo scale (pentatonic without semitone steps), and its rhythmic phrases leave a striking impression.

It’s a perfect song to listen to as spring arrives, and is recommended even for elementary school students about to begin a new chapter in their lives.

A song I recommend for April is Official HIGE DANDism’s “Hajimari no Asa” (“Morning of Beginnings”).
It’s included on their 2017 album “Report,” released when they were still active as an indie band before their major debut.
