Kenji Ozawa – Thinking of You in Spring

Ozaken, also known as Kenji Ozawa, draws attention with his overwhelming presence.

Released in 1998, this song is a memorable single from just before he entered a long hiatus.

It’s a mature love song that captures the sparkle of cherished people and ordinary scenery, contemplated on a spring night as time quietly passes.

Kaela Kimura “Rirura Riruha” [short ver.]

Released in 2005 as the third single, this brave and cute cheer-up song encourages you to believe in yourself and move forward.

The title “Rirura Riruha” carries the meaning of “Real Life Real Heart.” In the lyrics, the marguerite is a flower that blooms with the arrival of spring—hum its courage-giving catchphrase, “Rirura Riruha,” and dash into the new season.

Cherry Blossom MoonSakurazaka46

Sakurazaka46 'Sakuzuki'

This is a song by Sakurazaka46 that portrays the situation of a farewell gradually approaching and the struggle over whether to confess one’s feelings at that moment.

It expresses, throughout, the dilemma of what the right course of action is when, after graduation, the person you like sets off to chase their dreams.

By looking back on the memories built up until then while depicting the inner conflict, the sense of emotional pain comes across even more strongly.

The ticking clock at the beginning is also a key element: by conveying the passage of time, it expresses the growing anxiety as the moment of decision draws near.

Spot the differenceSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda 'Machigai Sagashi' (Spot the Difference)

A song by Masaki Suda, who is also active as an actor, and it was used as the theme song for the drama “Perfect World.” The lyrics and composition were done by Kenshi Yonezu, and the song was born out of their collaboration on “Gray and Blue,” released under Yonezu’s name in 2017.

It portrays a strong sense of inferiority stemming from the belief that one is not a righteous person, as well as the jolt that seems to shake off that feeling.

It expresses a major shift in mindset—believing that it was precisely because one isn’t a ‘righteous’ person that they were able to meet someone important—and the resolve to keep thinking of that precious person.

Bouquet of FarewellFujimaki Ryota

Bouquet of Farewell

Spring is a season of transitions—a time when people set out on new journeys and say their goodbyes, and when our circumstances tend to change.

Facing such changes makes us more aware of the paths we’ve walked and the connections we’ve built with others.

This song by Ryota Fujimaki evokes the bonds we feel through farewells and the strength we draw from them.

The bright energy in the sound is another key point, conveying a sense of moving forward with a positive mindset.

Even while feeling the sadness of parting, you can sense that the miracle of having met and the memories shared give you strength that surpasses that sadness.

Cö shu Nie – Show Me a Dream (Official Video)

This is a song by Cö shu Nie that portrays intense feelings of regret at the moment of parting, and how reflecting on happy memories intensifies the pain.
