Tomorrow, when spring comes

A quintessential J-pop song marked by a breezy pop tune and poignant melodies, it gently encourages those stepping into a new life with the arrival of spring.

It conveys feelings toward “you,” who are devoted to baseball, by entrusting them to the arc of a white ball, tenderly embracing cherished memories and farewells.

Takako Matsu’s clear, translucent voice soothes the anxieties deep within the heart.

Released in March 1997 as her debut single, it reached No.

8 on the Oricon charts and was also featured in an NTT commercial.
