Spring of LifePerfume
Perfume’s song “Spring of Life,” which even has “Spring” in the title, is their 15th single, released in 2012.
It’s a track packed with the excitement of spring and the rising, heart-thumping feelings that come with starting a new chapter in life.
Work, love, and the expectation that something new will happen—spring lifts our spirits in all these ways, doesn’t it? It’s a perfectly spring-like song to keep you company in those moments.
End and Beginningkariyushi 58
Graduation ceremonies are held in March, and I think April is still a season when we carry those feelings with us.
The song I want to listen to at such times is Kariyushi58’s “Owari Hajimari” (“An Ending, A Beginning”).
Even if you feel lost in a new environment, remembering your best friends and the people you’ve met so far can make you stronger…
It’s the kind of song you want to hum when you want to recall that warm feeling.
Child of SakuraKa Fu & Seikai
KAFU & Seikai’s “Sakura no Ko” dramatically depicts cherry blossoms from the moment they bloom to when they fall.
Released in 2022, the song was produced by Vocaloid producer Kanzaki Iori.
The beautifully heartrending story, which portrays the fleeting cherry blossoms as if they were people, draws you deeper into its world the more you listen.
Many listeners have likely felt that same bittersweet emotion toward cherry blossoms that can only be seen for a limited time, just like in this song.
It makes you want to etch the short-lived sight of the blossoms firmly into your memory.
Come Again8LOOM
A limited-time, seven-member boy group born from a drama, 8LOOM.
The idol group that appears in the drama “You’ll Be a Flower” starring Tsubasa Honda is active in real life, and the song they released is “Come Again.” The keyword “flower,” evoked by both the drama’s title and the group’s name, runs throughout.
The lyrics liken a flower blooming to a person’s success and their resolve to face life’s hardships.
Spring is a season when many people take on new challenges and work hard in new places.
This is a track that can stay close to the hearts of those people.
cherry blossomKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi’s 11th single.
Despite not being tied in with a TV drama or commercial, it became a major hit, selling 210,000 copies.
In Oricon’s year-long single sales rankings, it narrowly missed first place and came in second.
As Ketsumeishi’s biggest hit single and a classic themed around “sakura” (cherry blossoms), it remains popular today.
Spring feat. Kana Otsubo (from Spangle call Lilli line)Furukawa Hompo
This is “Haru feat.
Kana Ohtsubo (from Spangle call Lilli line)” from Furukawa Honpo’s album “Girlfriend from Kyoto,” an album that featured various female vocalists.
The blend of electropop and a languid female vocal conjures a wonderfully laid-back spring atmosphere, making it a track with a soothing, slackened feel.
It’s the kind of song where you realize you’ve dozed off because it’s just that comfortable.
dandelionBUMP OF CHICKEN
Dandelion, included as the final track on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s major-label debut album Jupiter released in 2002.
“Dandelion” refers to the flower, said to be named after its appearance, and this song portrays both a lion and a dandelion.
It’s a number that grips the heart with the lion’s strength, the loneliness and inner emotions that come with that strength, and the striking contrast between the lion’s solitude and the dandelion—like a spring flower and a symbol of brightness.
