cherrysupittsu
A song with a refreshingly crisp drum intro that starts ta-tan ta-tan.
Remarkably, this track is also unusual in that it sold a million copies without any tie-in.
Speaking of “cherry,” you think of cherry blossoms, and the song’s image feels perfect for a “new beginning” around the time the blossoms bloom.
The lyrics can be read as taking a positive view of the future for both the narrator and the girlfriend he’s parted ways with.
It has a lovely vibe that invites as many interpretations and memories as there are listeners.
This might be a great song to help reset your mindset for a new chapter starting in April.

When cherry-blossom hues danceNakajima Mika
A number by Mika Nakashima whose piano tones poignantly strike the heart.
It portrays someone who, though always together with their partner as the seasons changed, eventually found themselves alone, made so by the very cruelty of those changing seasons.
You can feel the beauty of the lyrics’ word choices and the uniquely Japanese sense of seasonal transition and emotion.
stepsGReeeeN
GReeeeN is a four-member male vocal group that has achieved numerous million-streaming hits, including Aiuta and Kiseki.
Their 9th single Ayumi, used as U-Can’s 2009 campaign song, is a track where GReeeeN’s signature emotional harmonies ride a lively beat and linger in your ears.
The lyrics, which encourage you to face your dreams and goals, give you the courage to step into a new world after graduation.
With its positive message and catchy melody that give you strength, it’s a pop tune you’ll want to hear in March, when many stand at a crossroads in life.
Unchanging Things ~since 1976~KOKIA
KOKIA’s singer-songwriter number “Kawaranai Koto ~since 1976~” conveys the feeling of telling those who have supported you, “Watch me as I do my best from here on.” Released in 2003, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “Beloved.” When graduating and leaving the teachers and parents who have cared for you, expressing gratitude is of course important.
But the lyrics also depict the idea that not only saying thank you, but showing through your actions that you’ll work hard from now on is a true way to repay those who helped you.
Why not listen to this song and feel a form of gratitude expressed not just in words, but in attitude?
Letter ~To You at Fifteen~Anjura Aki
This song was widely sung as the set piece for the junior high division of the 2008 NHK National School Music Competition.
Many of you may have sung it yourselves.
As the title “Dear You, Fifteen” suggests, the lyrics unfold in the form of a letter, gently accompanying the worries and impatience unique to adolescence.
Angela’s vocal delivery—almost like a spoken monologue—further elevates the song into something tender and comforting.
With this song, Angela Aki appeared in the Kōhaku Uta Gassen for two consecutive years, 2008 and 2009.
It’s a song I want to listen to in March, together with memories of my school days.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
Spitz is a four-piece rock band known as one of the most popular groups representing the 1990s, and they continue to be highly active today.
Their eighth single, “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“I Should Be Able to Fly”), which was used as the theme song for the TV drama ‘Hakusen Nagashi,’ is also known as one of Spitz’s signature songs.
Its memorable guitar riff in the intro and the airy ensemble evoke the scenery of spring, the season of new encounters.
With its simple chord progression, it’s also a recommended spring song for those who want to do guitar-and-vocal performances during graduation season.
Daphne (winter daphne)DISH//
This is a warm, march-like song that stays close to the hearts of exam-takers.
Its lyrics—embracing unspoken gratitude toward parents and anxieties that feel crushing under pressure—are sure to soothe the soul.
Released in November 2021, the song was also chosen as the theme for the NTV drama “Jigoku no Juken: Futatsuki no Shōsha” (The Winner in February).
Co-written by DISH// vocalist Takumi Kitamura and Hattori from Macaroni Enpitsu, the lyrics, told from the perspective of a student facing entrance exams, have struck a chord with listeners.
It’s a track for everyone standing at a crossroads in life, not just those preparing for exams.
With the presence of family and friends in mind, it gives you the courage to trust the path you’ve chosen and move forward.
