Ikimonogakari Season

This is a song included on Ikimono-gakari’s album WE DO, released when they resumed activities after their “gathering” period.

Even among Ikimono-gakari’s many classic songs that depict the seasons, this one feels especially fleeting and beautiful.

As we grow up, we often lose our way, don’t we? This gentle song softly gives a nudge to those bewildered hearts.

Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Released digitally in 2021 and later included on the EP “Sōsaku,” this song was also featured in a Taisei Corporation commercial.

Its acoustic guitar and piano tones are striking, and they seem to further highlight the message in the vocals.

Taken at face value, the lyrics evoke a beautiful scene of cherry blossom petals dancing in the spring, but composer n-buna’s comment that he “likened life to cherry blossoms” gives the lyrics a different dimension.

It seems to express the poignancy of passing time and the idea that life appears beautiful precisely because it is finite.
