dandelionŌta Hiromi
A classic that captures delicate feelings of first love from a unique perspective.
The emotions of a modest yet pure-hearted girl in love are overlapped with the image of dandelions blooming by the roadside, gently singing of the bittersweet feelings everyone experiences.
Takashi Matsumoto’s poetic lyrics and Kyohei Tsutsumi’s melody blend beautifully, and Hiromi Ohta’s pure voice perfectly conveys the song’s world.
Released in April 1975, it was later included on the album “Tanshūhen” (Short Stories) and gained popularity.
It’s a song that comforts those who strive to live strongly—like a dandelion that keeps blooming while facing forward—even when they carry loneliness in their hearts.
Recommended for anyone who wants to relate to the ache of unrequited love and the feelings of being in love.

“Sakura Fuwari” is Takako Matsu’s fifth single, released in 1998.
The song was also used in a commercial for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic, and it’s crafted to evoke an image of radiant beauty.
Incidentally, the lyrics—poetically expressing the gentle feelings of spring—were written by Matsu herself.
Her clear voice, which seems to cherish every single word as she sings, has a way of quietly sinking into your heart.

This is the quintessential cherry blossom song by singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama.
On his debut album it appears with a band arrangement, but the solo version featuring Nobuo Kurata on piano is the one that became famous.

With lyrics about meeting again someday after each has grown, it’s also become a staple graduation song.

The world her music weaves is straightforward, gentle, and tinged with a touch of wistfulness.

Violetyuzu
Sumire by Yuzu, the folk duo that represents Japan.
The violet is a flower that blooms quietly and small, so much so that you might not even notice it blooming there.
It’s a strong flower that no one turns to look at, and even when it’s stepped on, it rises again.
In life, there are many sad and difficult things, but as long as you don’t let the roots of your heart wither, you can stand up again and again—just like a violet that has firmly taken root in the soil.
