Morning of the BeginningOfisharu Higedan Dism
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.
Just hearing the intro—bursting with the excitement that something new is about to start—lifts your spirits.
The thrill of anticipation comes through in each sound, coalescing into a refreshing melody.
It’s an energetic rock number aimed at people starting a new chapter in April.
HarukaYOASOBI
This is the season when our hearts feel buoyant with the arrival of spring.
YOASOBI’s song is a perfect fit for such a springtime.
Released as a digital-only single in December 2020, it has captured the hearts of many listeners.
The track was inspired by the novel “Tsuki Ōji” (Moon Prince), written by broadcast writer Osamu Suzuki.
Its up-tempo, bright melody suits the cheerful spring atmosphere perfectly.
The warmth and gratitude expressed by YOASOBI resonate deeply, as if felt through the skin.
It’s a recommended song for those starting a new chapter in life or wanting to express their appreciation to someone special.

SAKURAikimonogakari
Ikimonogakari’s “SAKURA” is one of those songs you just feel like listening to when April comes around, isn’t it? It’s a track that could be called a representative Japanese “sakura song,” and you often hear it on TV, radio, and at karaoke during cherry blossom season.
The slightly poignant melody evokes the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms that scatter so quickly.
Be sure to try singing it when you go flower viewing or to karaoke.
April windElefanto Kashimashi
This is “April Wind” by Elephant Kashimashi, released in 1996 and put into heavy rotation on the radio.
Set to a generous, expansive melody, the lyrics—filled with the thrill of something new about to begin—feel fresh and give the song a breezy vibe.
For Hiroji Miyamoto, who wrote and composed it, it was a pop piece that marked a new experiment unlike anything he’d done before, and it’s said to be a memorable work that helped spark the group’s breakthrough.
Spring ThiefYorushika
Yorushika’s Spring Thief, released digitally in 2021.
The song had been eagerly anticipated after airing on TV as a commercial tune in March 2020.
With a piano melody and lyrics that evoke spring throughout, it carries the unique bittersweetness of songs about the season—bright and radiant on the surface, yet shadowed by a sense of loss.
It’s a number that feels like those two sides sit back-to-back.
Images of spring come to mind: the beauty of cherry blossoms and the brevity of their bloom, both amplifying that fleeting, fragile feeling.
sakuraRemioromen
This Remioromen song, evoking the breath of spring, is marked by a melody brimming with warmth.
The gentle resonance of the guitar and its comforting rhythm invite listeners into springtime scenes.
The calm lyrics, as if celebrating a fresh new beginning, pair with April’s renewed cheer to impart a refreshing energy.
Released in March 2009 and featured in a commercial, it’s a perfect track to color special moments spent beneath the cherry blossoms.
Highly recommended for those who want to savor spring’s rich landscapes through music.
spring breezeSakushi: Wada Tetsuzou / Sakkyoku: Hirose Ryouhei
A charming classic that expresses the arrival of spring through the voice of the wind was created by Tetsuzo Wada and Ryohei Hirose.
The gently whispering breeze stroking the buds on the trees, playing the murmurs of a brook, and frolicking with grasses and flowers is depicted atop a warm melody.
Broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in April 1972, the clear voices of the Tokyo Arakawa Children’s Chorus further heightened the breath of spring.
This is a song you’ll want to hum together with children during the season when nature’s vitality awakens.
It will gently wrap the hearts of new nursery-school entrants, who may feel uneasy amid changing surroundings, like a soft spring breeze.
