Fujifabric – Sakura Season

They’re bittersweet lyrics about thinking of someone far away, yet somehow you’re left with a refreshingly clear feeling when the song ends—a work with a uniquely airy atmosphere.

It was the major-label debut single by the rock band Fujifabric, released in 2004.

The guitar sound carries a touch of funk, and the expressive piano tone intertwines with it in a way that draws you in.

For many, when it comes to spring songs from the so-called 2000s rock scene, this is the one that comes to mind.

Sakurako Ohara’s “Hirari” evokes cherry blossoms blooming with a gentle smile.

Released in 2017, the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Let’s Go, JETS! From Small Town Girls to U.S.

Champions?!”.

Even as spring arrives and we go our separate ways, we’ll never forget the memories we shared and the cherry blossoms we saw together.

Whenever something happens, we’ll recall those happy times and keep pushing forward.

The lyrics portray turning that kind of friendship into strength to live boldly into the future.

As you’d expect from Japan’s leading top idols, a full-throttle cheer song like this really hits you right in the heart.

Each member’s individuality is striking, and above all, the explosive power of the chorus melody feels so good.

It’s a powerful track that can serve as a spark when you’re stepping forward into a new world.

Shota Shimizu, one of Japan’s most accomplished singers.

When he sings, any scene becomes deeply moving, and his song “Sakura” is almost unfair in how powerful it is.

It’s a piano-accompanied ballad, and his clear, pure voice seeps straight into your heart.

When cherry blossom season arrives, be sure to lose yourself in this song!
