Songs of Nighttime Cherry Blossoms: A curated selection of classic and popular cherry blossom tracks that evoke a dreamlike scene!

On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon

Aimyon – On the Night When Cherry Blossoms Fall [very short movie]

A digital-only single released in February 2021.

Unlike the powerful, Japanese-soul-tinged songs often heard from Aimyon, this track has a distinctly different flavor—it’s very pop and carries a light, buoyant feel.

Even the lyrics, which depict a love that ends “like night sakura petals falling,” seem to bounce with a certain liveliness.

I find myself once again enamored with Aimyon’s talent for turning a springtime farewell into something so thrilling and airy.

The music video, which keeps a close-up on Aimyon as she continues to sing, also feels fresh and uncharacteristic of her past style.

Catch it if you get the chance!

Night Cherry Blossoms / Flower

This is a highly addictive Vocaloid track that opens with stylish guitar cutting.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Kujira, also known as the composer of “Haru wo Tsugeru,” his collaborative track with singer yama, and it was released in 2020.

The lyrics overlay the image of falling nighttime cherry blossoms with the feelings at the moment of parting, tightening the chest, yet perhaps thanks to the brisk tempo, it creates a unique world that doesn’t end in mere sadness.

Many listeners will relate to the almost philosophical feeling of “it goes on until the end of the end.”

Hirari -Sakura-

An exquisite mid-tempo number that tenderly sings of a woman’s delicate heart swaying with the arrival of spring.

Written by Haruichi Shindo of Porno Graffitti, this piece became Akina Nakamori’s first-ever “sakura song,” included on the single FIXER -WHILE THE WOMEN ARE SLEEPING- released in February 2016.

Its worldview, which overlays the fluttering of petals with emotional tremors, perfectly matches the fantastical scenery of cherry blossoms at night.

Rather than lively hanami, it’s recommended for moments when you want to quietly feel a spring night on your own.

Inn of the Night Cherry BlossomsNEW!Tsubuki Miyu

Miyu Tsubuki “Yozakura no Yado” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a gently melancholic onsen-town enka, suffused with adult allure and poignancy.

It’s a single released in September 2025 by Miyu Tsubuki, an enka singer from Fukushima Prefecture, marking the major milestone of her 10th debut anniversary.

The song was composed by her mentor, Akito Shikata.

It portrays the burning passion of a woman caught in a forbidden love, the kind you want to savor alone on a quiet night.

In harmony with the song’s lyrical world, one can picture a dreamy, nostalgic scene—gazing at night cherry blossoms through the window of an old folk house.

But why is it that a clandestine love, like cherry blossoms floating in the dark of night, remains so beautiful—and so achingly unforgettable?
