StaRtMrs. GREEN APPLE
An upbeat tune brimming with Mrs.-style liveliness and a full-throttle sense of speed.
It’s the lead track from their major-label debut album “Variety,” released in 2015.
The interplay with the violin is delightful and lifts your spirits! It’s perfect as the first song of the new year, and it also carries a vibe that fits a new school term, a new life chapter, or even entering the working world.
Spring is just around the corner! In this season, it’s a song that amplifies that bubbly, excited feeling as it races upward along its scales.
springreGretGirl
A masterpiece that captures the bittersweet air of spring.
reGretGirl’s true-to-life lyrics hit you right in the heart.
Perfect for the season when cherry blossoms dance, this song gently nudges you to take that first step into a new environment.
Released in January 2021, it’s packed with the band’s sentimental charm.
It stays close to anyone who’s experienced heartbreak or farewell, letting you feel both the sting and the hope at the same time.
Ideal for those facing a turning point as spring arrives.
If you’re carrying complex feelings before new encounters, farewells, and change, this is a song you should definitely hear.
On the Day of DepartureKojima Noboru, Sakamoto Hiromi, Matsui Takao
Just listening to it brings tears to your eyes, and at the very top of that list is the song “Tabidachi no Hi ni” (“On the Day of Departure”).
Back when there weren’t many so-called graduation songs, every school sang this one.
In fact, it has surpassed “Aogeba Tōtoshi” and “Okuru Kotoba” to become the most widely sung graduation song in the country.
The song was born from a teacher’s wish to gift it to graduating students—just that behind-the-scenes story alone is enough to make you cry.
In 2007, it was used in a commercial featuring SMAP, which helped cement its status as a quintessential “graduation song.” It is a true graduation anthem we hope to pass down to the next and the next generation.

First loveMurashita Kōzō
A classic by Kozo Murashita that evokes the arrival of spring.
His gentle voice tenderly sings of a bittersweet first love, warming the heart.
Released in February 1983, it became a big hit, selling 526,000 copies on the Oricon charts.
It’s also included on the album “First Love ~ Asaki Yume Mishi.” The vivid depictions of running across the schoolyard after classes and petals dancing in the wind make the scenes unfold before your eyes.
It’s a song that resonates even more when you listen to it under the soft spring sunlight.
Perfect for those slightly bittersweet moments before starting a new chapter in life.
Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
Released in 1997 as Takako Matsu’s debut single.
It’s famous as her biggest hit! With lyrics full of excitement about things to do when spring arrives and mustering up courage, it’s a springlike song.
It was also used as the CM song for NTT’s “Exciting New Life Campaign.”
Graduation PhotoArai Yumi
Speaking of the biggest event in March, it has to be graduation ceremonies.
It’s a day that makes not only the graduates but also the current students feel nervous, and for some reason, time always seems to pass more slowly than usual.
“Graduation Photograph,” the classic from when Yumi Matsutoya was still Yumi Arai, is such a masterpiece that I think everyone has heard it at least once.
Its lyrics spin a beautiful memory of student-days romance from a single photograph, and even now, with the passage of time, they remain vivid and resonate in our hearts.
The high notes in the chorus are a sacred realm that only Yuming can express.
I also recommend the Hi-Fi Set cover version alongside the original.
SAKURA, I love youNishino Kana
Released in 2012 as Kana Nishino’s 16th single, it was used as the CM song for Sony Walkman’s “Play You.” While many springtime sakura songs are upbeat, this one is about heartbreak and lingering feelings.
I think the lyrics will resonate with anyone who’s gone through a breakup in spring.
