Song of SpringFujihara Sakura

Sakura Fujiwara – “Spring Song” Live at Bunkamura Orchard Hall 2017

This is a cover of Spitz’s iconic spring song “Haru no Uta” performed by Sakura Fujiwara.

The original is absolutely wonderful, but Fujiwara’s sweet, velvety voice gives it an even warmer feel.

It preserves that distinctive flutter in your chest that spring brings, while the tempo is gentler than the original, making it very pleasant to listen to.

If you like the song but find the original hard to sing at karaoke, especially for women, why not try this version?

Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Harudorobou (Spring Thief), released by Yorushika in 2021.

Since it was also used in a commercial, many of you have probably heard it.

I’ve heard that in creating this piece, they likened cherry blossoms to life and wrote the lyrics accordingly.

Indeed, the lyrics are filled with words that evoke life, and the melody—like a scene of petals fluttering down—carries a certain transience.

Both the beauty of the Japanese language and the elegance of the melody blend seamlessly to capture the scenery of spring in Japan.
