When the cherry blossoms bloomGOING UNDER GROUND
Even while you’re smiling, you can’t help but cry… Some of you might know that feeling.
This is a song by GOING UNDER GROUND, a rock band from Saitama Prefecture, released in 2000 as their debut single.
It’s an easy-to-listen-to track that paints its power-pop rock sound with the tones of a piano.
The lyrics, which portray spring spent with someone precious and the swift passage of time, are filled with nostalgia.
It’s especially recommended for listening outdoors.
danceGuiano feat. Rime
The drama themed around graduation, “On Graduation Day, Utako Kamiya Isn’t There.” Its theme song, Mai, was newly written by Guiano and RIM.
The song likens falling cherry blossoms to two people parting ways.
However, it doesn’t carry a negative tone; instead, it conveys a message to enjoy the time when the petals are still dancing before they fall.
The relationship between the two is not described in detail, so it can be interpreted as either a couple or best friends.
Try listening to it while imagining yourself and someone special.
cherry blossomJackson vibe
Included on the 2007 album “24 HOUR DREAMING PEOPLE.” A four-piece rock band formed in 2003.
With a rhythm section that lays down a simple, straight beat, cheerful and easy-to-listen-to melodies, and vocals that soar with clarity, this is a truly pop-leaning track.
Sakura Night FeverKAN
“Sakura Night Fever,” released by KAN in 2015, is a song that seems perfect for getting everyone singing and excited at a cherry-blossom viewing party.
Its standout feature is the very unique lyrics, written from the perspective of a cherry blossom itself.
Despite blooming so beautifully—and even being illuminated at night—people don’t really look at the blossoms and instead just get rowdy with their parties.
The song frames this as a challenge posed by the cherry blossoms: is that really okay? It’s accompanied by a heartfelt plea from the blossoms—if you’re not going to truly look at us, at least let us rest at night! Listening to it makes you want to properly appreciate the cherry blossoms.
Sakura SongKANA-BOON
The song “Sakura no Uta” has that distinct KANA-BOON feel, and it hits you with an overwhelming sense of bittersweet emotion.
It’s a fan favorite included on their 2013 album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara.” This poignant track looks back on a love that has ended, capturing the delicate feelings of springtime romance.
The melody gives off a buoyant, springlike lift, yet the lyrics are tear-jerking—utterly heart-wrenching and swoon-worthy.
Be sure to listen to its answer song as well, “Sakura no Shi,” which expresses the feelings from a woman’s perspective.
