Song titles that start with “Ha.” Lots that feel like the seasons! (81–90)
Spring ~spring~Hysteric Blue
When the season of farewells arrives, we long not only for a touch of sadness but also for the courage to take the next step.
Released in January 1999, this Hysteric Blue song is a springtime staple that resonates with such complex feelings.
Beyond referring to the season, the title also carries the idea of “springing” like a coil, conveying a powerful message that doesn’t end in sorrow.
In fact, the vocals by Tama used in the recording are said to be the original demo take, kept as-is before any rerecording.
Brimming with the impulse of the moment, the track was also included on the album “baby Blue” and became well-loved as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Mokugeki! Dokyun.” It’s a classic even performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen—why not celebrate new beginnings with this bright, uplifting song?
When the fleabanes bloomNogizaka 46
When the season is filled with the scent of spring, a complex mix of the sadness of parting and the resolve to set out begins to grow, doesn’t it? This number by Nogizaka46 is a masterpiece that gently embraces those emotions we feel during graduation season.
Released in March 2016 as their 14th single, it features Mai Fukagawa as the center, serving as a grand send-off toward her graduation.
It was also used in a commercial for “sizebook,” so many of you have likely heard it.
The video, with its hakama outfits that evoke the Taisho era’s romantic aesthetic, is striking—just watching it may bring a lump to your throat.
When you’re anxious yet determined to step into a new world, this song will quietly give you courage and become something truly precious.
Even though it’s springKashiwabara Yoshie
Written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima, this song captures the unique sense of helplessness that comes with the season of partings.
As graduation time approaches, it becomes one of those songs you can’t help but want to hear—a classic filled with scenes of aching unrequited love and farewell.
In contrast to the cheerful air of spring, the lyrics evoke a world where only the heart is left behind, vividly expressed through Yoshie Kashiwabara’s delicate vocals.
Released as a single in January 1983, it became one of her signature works and led to her first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
The album of the same title, “Haru nanoni,” also drew attention as a collection of Miyuki Nakajima’s works and received major acclaim, including the Gold Prize at the 25th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a standard number that will resonate not only with those who feel a pang at words like “the second button of a school uniform,” but also with anyone currently carrying feelings they can’t quite express.
Spring comes, and we become a little more grown-up again.sanmyu~
When it comes to groups that radiated pure, innocent charm as pristine-white idols, Sunmyu comes to mind.
Their classic song that captures the bittersweet feelings of graduation season is “Spring Comes, and We Become a Little More Grown Up.” The lyrics resonate not only with the sadness of parting, but also with a sense of hope for the future.
Its nostalgic melody, reminiscent of 1980s kayōkyoku, is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
Released as a single in March 2014, it garnered strong support, reaching No.
4 on the Oricon Daily chart.
It was also familiar as the theme song for the “Karaoke BanBan” commercial, so many of you have likely heard it.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you want to immerse yourself in memories of youth, or when you’re sending off a friend embarking on a new chapter.
It gently stays by your side in those moments when you overcome farewells and grow just a little more mature.
Run, Makibao!F Map
This is a song by F-MAP, produced as the opening theme for the 1996 TV anime Midori no Makibaō.
The unit consists of three male Fuji TV announcers: Kenji Fukui, Masaharu Miyake, and Tatsuya Aoshima.
Fukui serves as the lead vocalist, while Aoshima—well-known for his horse racing commentary—handles the play-by-play parts, making full use of strengths unique to announcers.
The original song is Salty Sugar’s Hashire Kōtarō, and this version recreates that sense of exhilarating speed.
The inserted race commentary heightens the realism.
It’s perfect as background music for sports days and competitions, and is recommended when you want to get pumped up.
A person who loves springGLAY
The warmth of spring that finally arrives after harsh cold feels a bit like hope in life, doesn’t it? GLAY’s song is a heartwarming number that overlays the changing seasons with the preciousness of love.
Included on the classic album “BELOVED,” released in November 1996, it also became widely known at the time as the theme song for Mitsubishi Motors’ Pajero Jr.
commercial.
Its straightforward message about the meaning of living and loving gently embraces the anxieties of lovers parting ways at graduation.
Even on nights when you can’t meet, it makes you believe that, like the spring that will surely come, your hearts are always close.
As we welcome this season of new beginnings, why not listen closely while wishing happiness for someone dear to you?

cherry blossom blizzardŌta Hiromi
Written by lyricist Takashi Matsumoto, composed by Takuro Yoshida, and passionately sung by Hiromi Ohta, this song depicts the bittersweet subtleties of a couple whose relationship shifts from lovers to “friends” amid a flurry of falling cherry blossoms.
The repeated words take on new shades of meaning each time they appear, a lyrical world that may tighten the chest of many listeners.
Released on the A-side of the February 1978 album “Senaka Awase no Rendezvous,” the track features a calm band arrangement by Shigeru Suzuki, which is part of its charm.
It has the deep flavor unique to album cuts, distinct from flashy hit singles.
It’s a song we’d especially recommend for those moments when a touch of loneliness steals over you in the spring sunshine, or when you want to quietly revisit the bittersweet memories of youth.
