BuddiesSakurazaka46
A track included on the single “Nobody’s fault,” released as Sakurazaka46’s restart after their name change.
Its dawn-evoking sound and refreshing atmosphere lift your spirits, making it perfect for the season leading into spring.
It’s also satisfying how the song becomes progressively clearer as it goes on.
Come March, many people are graduating or preparing to set off for new places.
Lyrics that sing of the importance of friends will surely support you in the days ahead.
It’s a classic that stays by your side at a new beginning, filling you with excitement about what kind of future and freedom might be waiting.
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.
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.
Cherry Blossom MoonSakurazaka46
With hearts fluttering at the arrival of spring, Sakurazaka46’s “Sakurazuki” is the perfect song for this season when farewells and new encounters intertwine.
Released in February 2023, it immediately proved its popularity by selling approximately 349,000 copies in its first week on Oricon.
In the music video, directed by Erika Konno with choreography by TAKAHIRO—who has deep ties to the group since their Keyakizaka46 era—the beautiful dance scenes are especially striking.
Centered on the theme of cherry blossoms, the song captures a range of emotions stirred by the spring breeze and also portrays the bittersweet departure of graduation.
For those beginning a new chapter, it offers both the courage and kindness to take that first step.
HigherSHE’S
SHE’S is a piano rock band from Osaka with melodies that really hit you in the heart.
This track, chosen as the theme song for the 92nd Senbatsu High School Baseball Tournament, feels perfect for March.
Arranged by Masanori Shimada—who also works with aiko and Ikimono-gakari—it radiates even more freshness and positivity.
The song also carries the feelings of vocalist Inoue, who played baseball through elementary and middle school, conveying the importance of support from those close to us, as if linking one dream to the next.
Even when things are tough alone, it’s reassuring when you’re together, isn’t it? I think it will help athletes and anyone striving toward a goal spread their wings with strength!
the first strong spring windkyandīzu
Released in 1976, it’s a song from over 40 years ago, but I’d venture to say that even younger people have heard it at least once—a classic spring anthem born of the Showa era! “Haru Ichiban” by the legendary idol group Candies is one of their signature tracks and a quintessential Showa kayō masterpiece, often cited as the most beloved spring song among Japanese people.
These days, weather reports routinely announce the “haru ichiban” (the first strong southerly wind of spring), but when this song was released, the Japan Meteorological Agency was inundated with inquiries about the term.
As a result, they set a clear definition and began officially issuing information about it.
Considering the song’s influence, why not give “Haru Ichiban” another listen as the season of the spring winds arrives?

SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
Speaking of spring and cherry blossoms, we can’t leave out this song by Masaharu Fukuyama! He wrote it based on his own romantic experiences, thinking of a past lover after they parted ways.
Spring really is a season of farewells… I recommend this song not only for life’s farewells, but also for anyone who has faced a bittersweet end to a romance in spring.
