[Spring Songs] Moving tracks to listen to in April: Tear-jerking spring classics (1–10)
spring melancholyMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Shunshū,” a song that skillfully portrays the delicate emotions of teenagers, whose feelings sway between loneliness and connection with others during the seasonal shift of spring.
It was released in 2018.
I think everyone has experienced those indescribable feelings, and this moving track expresses them beautifully.
Spring ThiefYorushika
When we see the beautiful cherry blossoms blooming in spring and the petals falling, many of us find old memories resurfacing, don’t we? Yorushika, known for songs like “Just a Sunny Day for You” and “Ghost in a Flower,” released this track “Spring Thief” in 2021, and it’s perfect for moments like that.
Even though the music video features stunning cherry blossoms, the word “sakura” never appears in the lyrics.
And yet, strangely enough, listening to it conjures up an image of cherry trees in full bloom.
It’s a highly recommended song for anyone looking for a beautiful track that suits the spring season!
lightly; nimbly; flutteringlyŌhara Sakurako
When you see beautiful cherry blossoms, you sometimes feel a certain melancholy, don’t you? Along with that wistfulness come many happy memories of your hometown.
Sakurako Ohara’s “Hirari” is a song that makes you want to recall those memories and use them to get through tough times.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film Cheer☆Dance: The True Story of a High School Girl Who Conquered America with Cheerleading, starring Suzu Hirose.
When a new chapter of life begins, you can suddenly feel homesick or overwhelmed by loneliness—tossed around by all kinds of emotions.
At times like that, why not listen to this song, remember the joyful days you’ve had, and have a good cry to feel refreshed?
Waiting for springWANIMA
Like enduring a harsh winter while waiting for a warm spring, this song carries the message that a day will come when we can overcome hardships.
It’s a track by the rock band WANIMA.
Their appeal lies in the messages woven into their lyrics, delivering gentle, warm words with boundless brightness and straightforward sincerity.
The song was released on short notice after their tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it embodies their desire for people to listen to this song filled with encouragement, even if live performances aren’t possible.
On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon
This song is a bittersweet love tune set in spring.
The friendly, conversational lyrics are so characteristic of Aimyon.
As the title suggests, the lyrics paint a beautiful scene of cherry blossoms fluttering down on a spring night, interwoven with the protagonist’s unrequited feelings.
“I don’t know why, but I’m just drawn to you”—that sentiment resonated with many, as it’s something almost everyone has felt.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to on a spring night while looking at a row of cherry trees.
Philadelphia fleabaneBUMP OF CHICKEN
“Harujion” sounds so cool! But if you’re thinking, ‘I don’t really know what that is,’ same here.
It’s that weed you often see growing by the riverbanks—what people call the “poverty weed.” Back when the song was released in 2001, a lot of folks learned its proper name from it.
It’s a pretty harsh nickname, but if you look closely, it’s actually a cute little flower.
The way Motoo Fujiwara zeroed in on this flower to explore the theme of “things that are hard to notice but important” is just brilliant.
one’s true feelingssumika
“Honne,” the official cheer song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
It’s the perfect anthem not only for sports, but also for when you’re working hard at your studies! No matter how much you love something or how badly you want to succeed, when you hit a wall you might find yourself thinking, “Maybe I should just give up…” This song gently stays by your side in those moments when you feel like voicing your weakness, while pointing you toward the bright future that lies ahead.
April marks the start of a new chapter, so if you’re feeling anxious, give it a listen!
