spring haze

A classic song that paints a delicate spring scene and a wistful love.

Hiromi Iwasaki’s clear, pure voice beautifully conveys the fleeting nature of cherry blossom season and the protagonist’s anxiety about their relationship.

Released in February 1979, the song harmonizes Michio Yamagami’s subtle lyrics with Kyohei Tsutsumi’s flowing melody.

It was featured on TBS’s “The Best Ten” and became beloved by many.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you feel the arrival of spring and find yourself reflecting on a precious relationship.

It’s sure to comfort those troubled by love.

This work, themed around graduation, delicately portrays the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love against landscapes tinted by cherry blossom season.

The protagonist likens themselves—unable to confess their feelings—to a “sakura rabbit,” and poignantly compares their fleeting love to cherry blossoms that fall in vain, which leaves a strong impression.

Takaya Kawasaki’s husky vocals deepen the immersion in the world of the lyrics.

Released in January 2021, the song was also included on the album “Calendar,” which came out in December of the same year.

It’s a track I highly recommend to anyone who feels the arrival of spring while carrying feelings for someone special.

The Parting Path Hidden by Cherry Blossoms – Hirakawachi Icchōme

Sakurano Kakusu Wakaremichi (The Parting Path Hidden by Cherry Blossoms), sung by the brother duo Hirakawachi Icchome.

Just seeing the title conjures up images of a graduation ceremony with cherry blossoms fluttering through the air, doesn’t it? As the lyrics say, if you listen while thinking of the friends you spent those set three years with—short yet long—in junior high or high school, it will move you even more deeply.

The acoustic guitar tones the two of them each play express an indescribable loneliness as well.

It’s a masterpiece you’ll want to savor word by word.

A classic spring song filled with bittersweet memories.

It delicately portrays the aching feelings of a girl on the verge of graduation.

Set to Yumi Matsutoya’s gentle melody, the lyrics, woven at an easy tempo, resonate deeply.

Included on the album “OLIVE,” released in July 1979, it was also adapted into a TV drama on TBS, “Rouge no Dengon,” in 1991.

It’s perfect for listening while savoring the spring breeze, and it’s also a lovely song to dedicate to someone special.

Give it a listen when you feel like reminiscing about the past.

Noriko Matsumoto Spring-Colored Airmail

This is the debut single of newcomer idol Noriko Matsumoto, released in the spring of 1985.

Written specifically for her by EPO, it portrays the bittersweet feelings of a girl in a long-distance relationship as spring arrives.

Set to a gentle, airy melody, Matsumoto’s refreshing vocals resonate beautifully.

The lyrics about a love that remains unchanged despite the distance are heart-tugging.

May the feelings sealed in a spring-colored airmail letter reach her loved one.

A perfect song for anyone who wants to feel a flutter at the start of a new season.
