Cider Girl – Sakura-iro

How about a bittersweet rock tune that tightens your chest in the season when cherry blossoms dance? Cider Girl is a rock band that paints a refreshing sense of speed with a sparkling, soda-like sound.

This track is included on their third album, “SODA POP FANCLUB 3,” released in January 2020.

There’s a backstory that the band collected fan-submitted words themed around “sakura” through a streaming program and created the song based on them.

Rina Onuki, the fourth image girl, participates as a guest vocalist, and her clear, translucent voice layered over the band’s sound further accentuates the fleeting nature of spring.

In this time when meetings and farewells intersect, it’s sure to gently nudge those stepping into a new environment forward.

Lost in springNEW!SHISHAMO

SHISHAMO "Lost in Spring"

A wistful medium-tempo ballad by SHISHAMO that portrays emotional stagnation at odds with the warmth of spring.

Its delicate sound—featuring piano and strings—leaves a strong impression, and the sense of loneliness, as if left behind in a festive season, presses on the chest.

Released digitally in March 2022 and later included on the album SHISHAMO 8, this track skillfully captures, through Asako Miyazaki’s lyrics, the uniquely springlike blend of cruelty and beauty: the season moves forward on its own while your feelings alone can’t keep up.

It may resonate deeply with those unsettled by changing circumstances or still haunted by a love that has ended.

A song that makes you want to immerse yourself in its lyrical world during this cherry blossom season.

A spring song with a quiet, smoldering heat by a two-woman rock band from Osaka.

It captures a unique atmosphere where everyday calm and unease intermingle, and Arisa Ushimaru’s unadorned words pierce the heart.

Included on the mini-album “HOUSE,” released in October 2018, this track’s slow tempo lets you fully immerse yourself in its world.

It was also performed near the end of the main set at their 2019 Nippon Budokan show, and has long been loved by fans as a key part of their live repertoire.

Rather than flashy shifts, its understated, steady performance resonates comfortably—perfect for a slightly ennui-tinged spring day.
