If you’re looking for a spring song that you’ll want to listen to in the spring breeze, I recommend this one! “Apple Pie,” included on Ryoku to Soiné Gohan’s 2022 album Shiki (Four Seasons).

The lyrics, written from a male perspective, evoke the everyday life of a wholesome couple.

You can’t help but think it was written for his girlfriend, and the melody is so easy on the ears.

It’s soft and fluffy yet still vows eternal love, which is totally heart-fluttering.

It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so it might be nice to try singing it for a woman you like or for your girlfriend.

premonitionL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc~en~Ciel – Yokan

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s “Yokan” coolly and suggestively sings of the bittersweet partings of spring.

Originally included as a bonus CD with the magazine SHOXX, the song was later recorded for the album DUNE 10th Anniversary Edition, produced to commemorate the band’s tenth anniversary.

With the band’s signature eerie, poetic expression, this track will pull you straight into the L’Arc world—no question about it.

The shadow of the beloved, appearing like a mirage in the heat haze, seems to reflect the narrator’s lingering attachment.

Spring is a time when we want to clear things up, but perhaps it’s not so bad to occasionally dwell on the regrets that remain.
