Love songs to listen to in March. Spring romance songs.

10-year cherry blossomsAKB48

[MV full] 10nen Zakura / AKB48 [Official]

AKB48, the nationally beloved idol group, released “10nen Zakura” in 2009—a song whose catchy melody and the members’ cute performances give you a boost of energy.

Graduation songs sung by artists around the same age as students feel especially relatable, don’t they? Debuting on a major label with “Aitakatta” in 2006, they quickly rose to fame and became so popular that there was hardly a day you didn’t see them on TV.

Even for such a popular idol group, when members graduate, they send off their friends as they head down different paths.

This bright graduation song, true to their ever-smiling style, is a perfect fit for students celebrating their own graduation.

It’s also a great song to sing with friends and get the crowd going.

March of the PetalsAimer

Aimer “March of the Petals” Starring: Mirei Sasaki (Hinatazaka46) (5th albums “Sun Dance” and “Penny Rain” released on 2019/04/10)

Spring, the season of graduation, brings all kinds of changes one after another, and sometimes they can feel almost cruel, can’t they? In the midst of those changes, it can feel as though a faint crush gets lost and fades away…

Aimer’s “Hanabira-tachi no March” is a heartrending song about feelings of love that were never confessed.

With the double punch of spring and graduation, those emotions scatter like petals, disappearing without anything ever happening.

Even when it’s painful and lonely, time only moves forward.

In moments like that, perhaps the best we can do—like in this song—is to wish happiness for the one we care about.

Even if you can’t express your feelings, by wishing them well, you too will be able to face forward and keep moving on.

As springBlue Mash

Spring As Is – Blue Mash

The season of farewells arrives with the bittersweet signs of spring.

Blue Mash’s music captures those feelings beautifully.

This track, included on their second EP “From the Student Quarter e.p.” released in October 2022, portrays young people growing through heartbreak and the passage of time, set to a breezy indie rock sound.

You can sense Yuto’s experiences—deciding to pursue music after listening to the radio during his junior high and high school days—woven throughout the lyrics.

It’s perfect for those feeling anxious before a new chapter, or for anyone who has experienced a parting with someone dear.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to take a new step with the arrival of spring.

GReeeeN – Departure

Spring is a season of new beginnings, so I imagine many people end up being separated from their partners due to moving and other changes.

This song is about sending off someone dear who’s going far away in a positive way.

It’s recommended for those looking for a breakup song that isn’t somber, but instead bright and uplifting.

Full of memoriesH₂O

[Tears will flow!?] Countless people stopped in their tracks, captivated by this heartbreakingly beautiful voice!! Omoide ga Ippai / H2O (Covered by Yuna Park) @yuna_sing12

It’s the signature song by H2O, an acoustic duo widely known for performing the theme of the anime Miyuki.

Frequently sung at graduation ceremonies, this song has even appeared in junior high and high school textbooks.

Gazing at old photos, memories overflow; now that we’re adults, we can grasp the many subtle facets of life.

Everything in the lyrics resonates gently and beautifully in the heart.

Although the words “graduation” or “March” never appear, it’s a bittersweet youth anthem that somehow evokes the feeling of spring.

A number that makes your heart dance with its light, airy piano and Little Glee Monster’s harmonies! It vividly brings graduation scenes to mind, doesn’t it? A graduation song that portrays farewells in such a fun, friendly mood is rare, and it feels so quintessentially Little Glee Monster that it makes my heart race.

It overflows with down-to-earth emotions of the here and now, and I imagine people of that generation and students especially won’t be able to stop relating.

The days we’ve spent until now will surely become a straight, steady support for what comes next.

For those who graduated in a different format due to an unprecedented situation, I know it must have been really tough.

I hope the day comes when we can meet again and laugh together.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Spring Melancholy

Why is it that we feel such a swirl of emotions when graduation approaches? Looking back on the days we’ve had, we can’t help thinking, “I wish I’d done this or that,” while also feeling grateful for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Shunshū (Spring Melancholy)” is the perfect spring song for graduation season.

The lyrics, which Omori reportedly wrote the day after his own high school graduation, are sure to resonate especially with students.

It’s a gently moving medium-tempo ballad that reminds us that, even though we tend to want so much, it’s the small, ordinary moments that truly matter.

Bathed in the refreshing air of spring, it’s a song that clears the sky inside you and lightens your heart.
