See, spring has come.ushirogami hikaretai

This heartwarming song by Ushirogami Hikaretai refreshingly captures the springtime uplift and the anticipation of new beginnings.

Yasushi Akimoto’s skillful choice of words and Tsugutoshi Goto’s catchy melody blend beautifully to create a light, springlike atmosphere.

Released in February 1988, it reached No.

6 on the Oricon charts and was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Tsuide ni Tonchinkan,” earning support from anime fans as well.

Also included on the album “BAB,” the bright vocals of Shizuka Kudo, Akiko Ikuina, and Makiko Saito further enhance its charm.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to savor nostalgic memories while feeling the start of a new season.

When it comes to Christmas songs, the sparkly, festive tunes are of course wonderful, but sometimes you want to listen to a gentle, soothing song as well.

For those people, I recommend “Hoshiyo no Yume,” a ballad by Bunchou-P.

It was originally sung by Hatsune Miku, but this version is a cover by Uzumaki-P as a duet by KAITO and MEIKO, offering a fresh new charm.

Kujira, who is active across a wide range of work as a music creator—from Vocaloid pieces to providing songs for artists.

This track, “Hollows…,” takes its title from meanings like cavity, space, and dent.

We often say “a hole left gaping in the heart,” and many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that feel as if they’re drifting in an indescribable void.

Don’t you also find yourself spacing out and thinking endlessly about trivial things? That ineffable something is strung through the lyrics, making it a song that feels perfectly in tune with our times.

“White Promise,” the 10th digital-only single, for which member Root participated in composing.

The lyrics, depicting White Day scenes and that buoyant, fluttery feeling, lift your spirits along with the light, lively sound and beat.

Although it’s tricky to catch the rapid flow and the finely rising and falling melody, the key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it relatively approachable.

However, since there are many spoken parts in addition to the melody, be sure to listen closely to the ensemble and stay on the beat so you don’t fall behind.

Stpri is a six-member entertainment group that has gained popularity through a wide range of activities, including live broadcasts on YouTube and the web, as well as stage performances.

Their track Hoshi no Gotoku, included on their first digital-only EP Are You Ready?, also drew attention for being produced by Wasabi, the drummer of Wagakki Band.

The lyrics, which evoke the image of dreaming under the unchanging light of the stars, create a striking contrast with the Japanese-style ensemble.

It’s an uplifting number whose driving beat gives you a push and lifts your spirits.
