Song of DepartureMr.Children

[Piano ver.] Tabidachi no Uta / Mr.Children -Full Lyrics- Covered by Hitomi Sano

This is Mr.

Children’s memorable 31st single, which, starting with “innocent world,” achieved 27 consecutive No.

1 spots on the Oricon charts and broke numerous records.

Because the image fit perfectly, it was later used as the theme song for the film “Sky of Love” (Koizora).

True to its title, “Tabidachi no Uta” is a life-affirming song that supports those setting out on a new journey.

Its lyrics tell a story with a touch of romance—about parting once but perhaps meeting again somewhere—making it a song that may deeply resonate with men about to begin a long-distance relationship.

Let me introduce a song that’s perfect as a motivational anthem for starting a new life in spring: a solo debut released in February 2008 by Takuya Ohashi of Sukima Switch.

Filled with lyrics brimming with hope for the future—encouraging you to move forward while staying true to yourself—and a warm acoustic sound that resonates deeply, it gently gives you a push to take that first new step.

The track was chosen as the campaign song for major distance-learning company U-Can and reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

The music video features actress Aoi Yoshikura and memorably portrays young people setting out on a new path.

It’s a song we especially recommend to new employees and to anyone whose environment is changing, such as those advancing to higher education or changing jobs.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Spring Has Come, We” Short ver.

With “spring” in the title and a melody that perfectly captures the season’s excitement, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s “Haru ga Kite Bokura” is a perfect springtime song.

BLUE ENCOUNT “Yumemigusa” Music Video [Theme Song for the Film “Blue, Painful, and Brittle”]

A heartwarming song that captures the fragility of youth and the journey of growth—perfect for the season when cherry blossoms dance.

While beautifully depicting the bittersweet scenes of spring, it weaves in reflections on lost time and feelings for someone precious.

The grand band sound intertwined with strings resonates deeply with listeners.

Released by BLUE ENCOUNT in September 2020, the track was created as the theme song for the film ‘Aokute Itakute Moroi’ (Our Blue Moment), based on a novel by Yoru Sumino.

It’s a rearrangement of a song from their indie days, newly adapted to match the film’s worldview.

A true gem that supports those trying to move forward while looking back on the past, it’s highly recommended for spring farewells and new encounters—sure to touch the heart.

sumika / Spring Breeze [Music Video]

A number that delicately depicts life in the city and longing for one’s hometown.

This work, which encapsulates sumika’s appeal, was included on the album “Familia,” released in July 2017.

Its refreshing melody and rhythmic sound leave a strong impression, and the warmth of Kenta Kataoka’s vocals blends beautifully with Junnosuke Kuroda’s exceptional songwriting sense.

The lyrics gently portray the feelings of young people living in the city—morning scenes, commuting by train—and resonate with those embarking on a new chapter in life.

It’s a heartwarming anthem of encouragement, especially for anyone who has just set foot in a new place for a move, further education, or a new job.

A person who loves springGLAY

A person who loves spring

A spring song by GLAY, who have been blazing at the forefront of Japanese rock since their major debut in 1994.

I think GLAY is a band that really values a sense of the seasons—“Winter, again” is set in winter, and they have many other songs with clearly defined seasonal settings.

The lyrics of this song describe the vows of two people embarking on a new life together.

The male-led tone of the lyrics gives it a strong, masculine feel.

With beautiful backing vocals in the opening, it’s a perfect song for spring.
