Cheer songs to listen to in April: uplifting spring anthems (91–100)
Bye-bye, thank you.BUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a song that gently embraces the mix of anticipation and anxiety that comes before a new life in spring.
On the eve of setting out, the lyrics intertwine the excitement of starting fresh in a long-dreamed-of city with the fear of being alone, resonating deeply with listeners.
Released in March 2001 as the B-side to BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third maxi single, “Tentai Kansoku,” this track is especially recommended for those about to move or begin a new chapter.
It’s said to be based on a song Fujihara wrote at age sixteen, which explains why so many people connect with its youthful sensibility.
A perfect spring tune that gives you the courage to take a new step forward.
Philadelphia fleabaneBUMP OF CHICKEN
This somewhat wistful song is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Harujion.” The harujion, which lends the song its title, is a flower that blooms from spring through the rainy season and carries the meaning “love in remembrance.” In the lyrics, the protagonist’s emotions are delicately portrayed as they recall a “cherished person” they’ve lost and “dreams from the past,” their heart stirred.
Spring is a time when many people graduate or change jobs.
Leaving a familiar place naturally brings anxiety, but this song gives voice to those feelings.
At dawn again today, with cherry blossoms dancingCHiCO with HoneyWorks
“Kyou mo Sakura Mau Akatsuki ni,” sung by CHiCO with HoneyWorks—the Vocaloid and creative unit affectionately known as Chikohani—is a pop number perfect for a new chapter, themed around cherry blossoms, the symbol of partings and encounters.
Standing at a new starting line can be scary, but the song reminds us that it’s our painful past experiences and happy memories that help move our feet forward.
Listen to it when you stumble, relate it to your own story, and let it give you courage!

Overflowing with warm vocals and deep affection, this song is one of EXILE’s most moving masterpieces.
Its lyrics about memories, life’s journey, and the importance of human connections gently embrace listeners and give them courage.
Released in February 2007, it’s widely known as a staple for graduation season.
The track was included on the album “EXILE EVOLUTION,” and later featured on best-of compilations like “EXILE BALLAD BEST” and “EXTREME BEST.” I especially recommend it to those starting a new chapter in April or to anyone separated from someone important.
It will make you feel that, even when you’re apart, your cherished friends are always in your heart.
Starting lineFLOWER FLOWER
This song by FLOWER FLOWER is a heartwarming piece themed around life’s turning points and new beginnings.
Yui’s soul-stirring vocals gently encourage those standing at the starting line.
Included on the album “Mi,” released in November 2014, it stands as a work that symbolizes the band’s fresh start.
The lyrics capture a refreshing feeling like the moment after cold rain stops, and a tenderness that spreads after knowing the taste of tears, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s recommended not only for those facing changes such as starting school or a new job, but also for anyone feeling lost in life.
Listening to this song will surely give you the courage to take a new step forward.

It’s a song that feels like it gives a gentle push to people taking a new step as spring arrives.
Along with KALMA’s refreshing sound, you can almost see the cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.
The lyrics are filled with the sadness of parting, the anxiety of a new life, and hope for the future, offering comfort to listeners.
Released in February 2021, this track is a special piece commemorating the first anniversary of the band’s major-label debut.
Its positive message—that repeating “goodbye” can make you stronger—will surely give you the courage to dive into a new environment.
Be sure to check it out as a motivational springtime song.

A beautifully crafted song that portrays the budding feelings of love that come with the arrival of spring, released in January 2024.
9Lana’s delicate vocals perfectly capture both the fleeting nature of cherry blossom season and the bittersweet ache of love.
Chosen as the ending theme for the anime “Urusei Yatsura,” it has captured many hearts.
Particularly striking are the lyrics that carry the wish, “Let’s meet here again next year.” It’s a song that gently encourages those stepping into a new environment or parting from someone dear.
An uplifting, heartwarming tune you’ll want to listen to on a spring night while strolling beneath rows of cherry blossoms.
