Kyogo Kawaguchi – Sakura

One of the “sakura songs” that were popular in the 2000s is Kyogo Kawaguchi’s Sakura.

Released in 2003, it reached No.

4 on the Oricon singles chart and won the Wired Music Award at the 36th Japan Cable Awards.

The song was originally created for a commercial, and its lyrics are said to have been inspired by the relationship between Doraemon and Nobita, who were the ad’s image characters.

Since the lyrics can also be interpreted as being addressed to a lover, it’s known as a wedding song as well.

With a gentle arrangement centered on piano and acoustic guitar, it’s also a perfect track to cool things down after an overly hyped karaoke session.

Mixed Chorus Piece “Spring Song” — Moto Uchida (arranged by Takeshi Yoshinao)

This is a heartwarming song that began airing in March 1937 (Showa 12) on NHK’s Osaka Central Broadcasting Station as a National Song.
