ClariS’s “Hirahara Hirara” conjures up the beautiful sight of cherry blossoms in Japan.
Released in 2016, it’s included on the mini-album “SPRING TRACKS -Haru no Uta-,” which was created around the theme of spring songs.
The lyrics tenderly express the bittersweet feelings of thinking about an unforgettable someone while gazing at cherry blossoms.
The protagonist’s demure aura and the melody’s beauty overlap with the fleeting, delicate scenery of sakura.

Falling blossoms carried by the windCocco
Cocco’s “Hika Rakka” is a poignant yet beautiful song that evokes the history of her musical career.

This piece is a masterpiece that distills her passion for music, and I especially recommend it to those who have a burning love for music or who are drawn to voices that resonate deep within the heart.

Another highlight is the way the repeated melody creates a uniquely uncanny atmosphere.
