Every Little Thing needs no introduction—a music duo consisting of vocalist Misato Mochida and guitarist Ichiro Ito, commonly known as ELT.

GLAY’s spring song “Haru o Aisuru Hito” (“One Who Loves Spring”) conjures up a fresh and warm May scene.

Originally included on the 1996 album BELOVED, it was later featured as the B-side to the 1997 single “Kuchibiru.” Beyond spring, the song also paints three other seasonal landscapes, expressing a desire throughout to keep loving you unchanged in every season.

The Curse of Mayoishikuru meronpan

Oisicle Melonpan is a three-piece rock band whose name comes from a phrase the members came up with to describe “melon pan at its most delicious.” Their indie debut, the first mini-album thirsty, includes The Curse of May, whose breezy ensemble feels pleasant despite what the title might suggest.

The lyrics portray the listless mood of May—the in-between stretch from spring to summer when it’s hard to get energized—something many listeners are likely to relate to.

It’s a pop tune perfect for May karaoke: sing it when you’re feeling the May blues and let it blow your gloom away.
