[Cherry Blossom Season] Spring Song Special by Japanese Rock/Pop Bands [Meetings & Partings]

The season of farewellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Season of Goodbyes”

Even after graduation, the words I couldn’t say keep lingering in my chest… This song by the three-piece band SHISHAMO is a poignant medium-tempo ballad depicting unrequited love for an upperclassman and a heartfelt farewell.

It closes out the album “SHISHAMO 2,” and back in March 2015 it was also selected as Space Shower TV’s “POWER PUSH!” The protagonist’s emotions—seared by unforgettable memories of the person they loved in their school uniform, their smile—are sure to move you.

It’s a track that reminds us that spring is not only a season of new encounters, but of partings as well.

If you have memories of a love that ended without you ever saying how you felt, why not listen to this song and let it help you find closure?

Song of Springsupittsu

Spitz / Spring Song

For background music while taking in the sights of spring, I recommend “Haru no Uta” by the rock band Spitz.

Released in 2005, it was featured in a Coca-Cola Aquarius commercial.

The crisp guitar strumming and bouncy drumming are striking.

When vocalist Masamune Kusano’s high tones soar in the chorus, you can really feel spring’s arrival.

The unadorned lyrics that depict everyday life are deeply relatable.

It’s a refreshing rock number perfect for a clear, breezy day when the air feels transparent.
