Spring Breeze – Rihwa (Full)

It’s a song that makes you cherish your loved ones even more.

I think everyone feels anxiety and sadness about graduating.

When you listen to this song at times like that, it makes you realize you have such precious people in your life, and even if something hard happens, you can think, “I’ll keep going because I have this person.” That’s how the song felt to me.

Bring it on, spring.non

An anthem cheering on those taking new steps with the arrival of spring, it carries a powerful, uplifting message.

KALMA – Sakura (Music Video)

This is a song that gently accompanies those taking a new step forward with the arrival of spring.

The melodies woven by the three members of KALMA vividly paint the scenes of the cherry-blossom season.

Like petals drifting and swirling in the breeze, it tenderly embraces the emotions where the sadness of parting intersects with the excitement of new encounters.

Released in February 2021, this work gives a gentle push to not only those finishing their high school days but also anyone feeling anxious before a fresh start.

It’s perfect as background music for graduation ceremonies and farewell parties, as well as for everyday moments when you sense the coming of spring.

Along with memories that linger in the heart, it will etch a hopeful future into your chest.

Best graduation song 'When the Cherry Blossoms Bloom' NPV! PLAYEST

PLAYEST’s “Sakura Saku Koro” is a song that lets you express gratitude to friends with whom you’ve made many memories.

It’s included on the 2013 album “one’s life time.” The lyrics trace the day you met your friends, the days you spent together, and the day you parted, and as you sing, your own memories naturally come flooding back.

When being together becomes too natural—and with a bit of shyness—it’s hard to express thanks to friends in everyday life.

But on graduation day, try singing this song together and create a moment where you can all share your appreciation with one another.
