Cherry blossom songs recommended for women: beautiful classic and popular spring tracks

Cherry Blossom MoonSakurazaka46

Sakurazaka46 'Sakuzuki'

Sakurazaka46’s 2023 number “Sakurazuki” is a song about longing for someone you love who is leaving upon graduation.

The lyrics portray a heartbreaking unrequited love that ended without the narrator ever managing to say even a simple “I like you,” let alone voice the deeper wish, “Please don’t go,” because they cherished that person too much.

The gently fluttering piano melody, as if cherry blossom petals are dancing in the air, is exquisitely beautiful and highlights the poignancy of the lyrics.

It’s a recommended song for women who have experienced a bittersweet love that ended without being able to express their true feelings.

The season of farewellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Season of Goodbyes”

SHISHAMO is beloved by a wide range of generations for their down-to-earth lyrics that capture everyday life.

This song is about a bittersweet unrequited love, where all you can do at graduation is follow your senior with your eyes.

It was included on the album “SHISHAMO 2,” released in March 2015.

A crush where you’re never even in the same class, only watching from afar.

After graduation, you won’t be able to see them anymore, but you can feel the aching wish to at least not be forgotten.

It’s a song I especially want you—an elementary school student holding back words you couldn’t say and parting from someone important—to listen to.
