Shigeru Izumiya’s single released in 1973.
It’s a classic distinguished by its unique word choice and powerful vocals.
The lyrics, which depict urban landscapes and people’s lives, resonate deeply with listeners.
Included on the album “Light and Shadow,” it was later featured on the live album “Shigeru Izumiya Live: Sub Total.” One of its appeals is that it has been covered by many artists, including Keisuke Kuwata and Masaharu Fukuyama.
March is a time when hopes and anxieties about new beginnings mix.
Listening to this song will surely give you courage.
It’s a perfect track for anyone who wants to face forward and start walking, feeling the arrival of spring.
YOAKENiziU
This ambitious work by NiziU beautifully captures the brilliance of daybreak and the resolve to take a step toward one’s potential.
Set to a natural, approachable melody line, it powerfully sings of overcoming past anxieties and inner conflicts, and of embracing hope for the future.
The sound crafted by lyricist Mayu Wakisaka and composers Julie Yu and Erik Lidbom feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
As a pre-release single from the mini-album “AWAKE,” slated for release in February 2025, it marks a track that underscores the group’s growth and evolution.
It’s a perfect anthem for those entering a new chapter in spring—a season that brings the start of new lives—when hearts are filled with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.
HarukaYOASOBI
Records and cassette tapes quickly gave way to CDs and MiniDiscs, and even those are already relics of the past.
If we were to describe YOASOBI in terms of music media, they’d be the “streaming generation.” Their song Haruka, which turns literature into music, is based on Osamu Suzuki’s novel The Moon Prince.
The lyrics feel like a cheer for everyone starting a new chapter in spring—those graduating, starting jobs, moving—anyone beginning a new life.
Ikura’s vocals are incredibly gentle! It’s a highly recommended track for anyone feeling a bit anxious or low as spring begins.
When spring comesmiwa
March is also a season of farewells, like graduations.
Despite the warmth of spring, your heart can sometimes feel a little lonely, right? In times like that, I recommend “Haru ni Nattara” sung by miwa.
It was released in 2011 as her fifth single.
The pop melody played on acoustic guitar turns anxious, lonely feelings into excitement for spring.
The lyrics are perfect for those graduating, so it might be nice to listen to it with friends.
Song of Springsupittsu
A heartwarming Spitz classic that sings of the joy of finding new light after enduring difficult days.
Masamune Kusano’s gentle, translucent voice beautifully captures the feeling of overcoming hardships and welcoming spring.
Its refreshing melody and positive message are sure to sow seeds of hope in listeners’ hearts.
Released on the album “Souvenir” in January 2005 and cut as a single in April of the same year, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was also featured in commercials for Aquarius and Lotte Ghana Chocolate, becoming a song loved by many.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone taking a new step forward or standing at a crossroads in life.
Listen to it as spring arrives, and it will resonate with you even more deeply.

At the thawHatsuboshi Gakuen
A moving work in which the elegant melodies of Japanese tradition and contemporary musicality are beautifully harmonized.
Released by Hatsuboshi Academy in February 2025, this piece takes “snowmelt,” a symbol of spring’s arrival, and the Hinamatsuri festival as its motifs to portray the unfulfilled love between the Emperor doll and the Empress doll.
It expresses the frustration of hearts that remain distant despite their physical closeness with a refreshing melody.
Recommended for those who want to savor the feeling of first love while sensing the coming of spring.
Spring SwallowHey! Say! JUMP
A Hey! Say! JUMP song that gently seeps into the heart in the season when a refreshing spring breeze blows.
Using swallows as a motif, it tenderly portrays the anxieties and confusion of entering a new environment, as well as the way we overcome them together with our companions.
Created by members of sumika, this track features a supportive message that resonates with life’s turning points that everyone experiences, along with a refreshingly clear melodic line.
Released in May 2022, it was used as the opening theme for the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV anime “Love All Play.” It’s a perfect cheer song for those starting a new chapter in life or feeling unsettled by changes in their surroundings.
