A Meddlesome Rosetennen
This is a sequel—or rather, a parallel-world take—on the laid-back song “Damdam-kun.” It’s a great track with amazing harmonies, themed around roses in full bloom in May and a protagonist suffering from the May blues.
If you’re curious about “Damdam-kun,” try searching for it on Nico Nico Douga.
mythic functiongankyuu P
It’s a song whose lyrics are sprinkled with sparkling things like gemstones—jade and ruby, the birthstones of May.
The guitar arrangement is wonderful.
By the way, Eyeball-P says the inspiration to make this song came from a moment when they opened their wallet and found only a 50-yen coin and a 10-yen coin inside.

Ride the wind with youOtozukai
It’s a gentle, soft, and soothing song.
The lyrics convey the feeling of “the two of us will keep walking forever.” The fresh, uplifting scenery that comes to mind from the melody, along with the combination of guitar and percussion, creates a very pleasant sound.
Rain in the Hill TownInashiki Jōshū
It’s a gentle, soothing Japanese-style Vocaloid song set in a rain-soaked port town.
Created by Vocaloid producer Inashiki Jōshū, known for a style that incorporates elements of world folk music, the track was released in 2010.
The lyrics evoke beautiful scenery and vivid streetscapes.
It’s a love song about deciding to confess your feelings on such a wonderful day, and combined with the delicate vocals, it leaves you with a sweet, bittersweet feeling.
By the way, although I called it a Japanese-style piece, it also features the timbres of Chinese instruments like the erhu.
In conclusion
How are you doing—has your “May blues” gotten better? I get the impression there are many songs that are perfect for May, the season of fresh greenery.
And then there are some that make you feel a little wistful…
In any case, let’s refresh ourselves with the power of music, feel invigorated, and charge ahead toward summer!
