[Spring Songs] Masterpieces for Mid-Spring to Listen to in March. Spring Tunes

This very dayNEW!Uru

[Official] Uru “Kyo to Iu Hi o (This Very Day)” Theme Song for the film “The Classroom Requiem”

A ballad by Uru that gently permeates the heart, accompanied by the soft tones of a piano.

March is the season when many of us face major milestones in life, like graduations and job transfers.

In those moments of parting and new beginnings, her embracing vocals offer a gentle presence.

This piece was created as the theme song for the film “The Classroom: Requiem,” starring Takuya Kimura and released in February 2026.

The grand arrangement by Tomi Yo not only captures the film’s worldview but also plays a vital role as the opening track of the album “tone,” released the same month.

Listen to it on days when your efforts feel unrewarded or when you’re troubled by the gap between ideals and reality.

It will quietly support you as you try to move forward.

KanadeNEW!Sukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

A bittersweet yet warm ballad that vividly conjures the image of two people stopping in front of the ticket gate! In March, the season of farewells, it tenderly portrays my feelings as I see you off on your new journey, and it really tightens the chest.

Released by Sukima Switch as a single in March 2004, it was used as an insert song for the film “Rough” and as the theme song for the drama “Sotsu Uta.” Its message—conveying a powerful bond that remains connected through song even when we’re apart—gently supports the loneliness of parting from someone important at times like graduation.

This piece sings of the pain of farewell that everyone experiences and the hope for the future.

It’s a classic that softly pushes you forward, wiping your tears so you can take the next step.

Spring is just around the corner.NEW!Lucky Kilimanjaro

Lucky Kilimanjaro – Spring Is Just Around the Corner [Official Music Video]

When you want to feel the spring vibes, the songs to play are by Lucky Kilimanjaro, a six-piece band that gets listeners’ everyday lives dancing.

Their buoyant beats, infused with electro-pop elements, seem to warm up the still-chilly air of March.

Rather than just waiting for spring to arrive, their proactive stance of going out to meet it heightens the sense of anticipation for the new season.

The track is included on their first major-label full album, !magination, released in March 2020, and the music video timed for cherry blossom season also drew attention.

It’s perfect for times of change—graduation, new beginnings—when you want to blow away your anxieties.

Why not surrender to the rhythm of this song and start getting ready for spring with a light step?

Your third buttonNEW!＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 16th single B-side “Your Third Button” [MV full]

When it’s graduation season, the sight of cherry blossoms brings back bittersweet memories, doesn’t it? At times like these, I find myself wanting to listen to songs by the idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.

They delicately portray that uniquely youthful, complex feeling of choosing to swallow the words “I like you” precisely because you want to remain friends.

Kiara Saito, who takes center position, delivers a fresh, expressive vocal that seems to gently embrace those unspoken feelings of love.

This track is included as a B-side to the single “Norotte Norotte,” released in March 2024.

It’s a warm song that quietly stays by the side of anyone facing graduation without the courage to confess, or those taking a new step forward while holding their precious memories close.

Late-blooming cherry blossomsNEW!AKB48

Nagorizakura

A spring song with a poignant, nostalgic melody perfectly suited to the season of meetings and farewells.

The title track of AKB48’s 67th single, released in February 2026, portrays a bittersweet longing for the days of youth that have passed, along with a faint hope for the future.

Nineteenth-generation member Momoka Ito was chosen as center, making this an important song that heralds a new beginning in the group’s 21st year.

The coupling tracks include a unique concept song born from the TV program “Yasushi Akimoto vs AI Yasushi Akimoto,” offering a multifaceted appeal.

It carries a warmth that makes you want to stop and listen during that time when you take off your school uniform and step into a new world, filled with both anxiety and anticipation.

Wings of MarchNEW!Gosuperāzu

Wings of March

The Gospellers give us a push forward with their beautiful harmonies and powerful messages.

Released digitally in March 2014 and later included on their September 2014 album The Gospellers Now, Wings of March is an up-tempo number that gives courage to its listeners.

Chosen as the theme song for “SKY PerfecTV! Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games,” the track has an intensity that mirrors the passion of the athletes.

Its forward-looking lyrics that push beyond limits and the exhilarating blend of the five voices are especially noteworthy.

This is the season when anxiety and anticipation mix as we step into new environments.

It’s a fresh, spring-breeze-like anthem of encouragement that we want everyone chasing their dreams to hear.

Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a song by Yorushika with striking, poetic lyrics that liken cherry blossom petals to human life and the spring breeze to time.

While it evokes a sense of transience and impermanence, its refreshing melody and clear, transparent vocals resonate deeply.

It was released digitally in January 2021 and was also included on the EP “Sousaku,” released on January 27 of the same year.

The song was featured in a Taisei Corporation commercial, reaching a wide audience.

It’s a perfect track for those experiencing new beginnings or farewells with the arrival of spring.

I also recommend listening to it alone on a quiet night to collect your thoughts.
