Sakuraayaka
Speaking of sakura songs, given the season, many of them are graduation songs or songs about new beginnings.
Ayaka’s “Sakura” is also a very popular number as a graduation song.
What’s noteworthy about this track is that the first verse is written from the perspective of young people graduating, while the second verse depicts those who graduated long ago—people who, having grown older, watch their own children graduate and set off, reflecting on the path they’ve walked and on their own graduation.
Ayaka’s vocals blend with the indescribably heartrending lyrics to create a song that makes you feel tears welling up.
