A Skima Switch song filled with a tender yet bittersweet love, wrapped in the spring night breeze.

As cherry blossoms dance on a spring evening, the protagonist stands alone, their heart stirred by memories of days gone by and the anticipation of a new departure.

SAKURA RegretFlower

Flower “SAKURA Regret”

A perfect heartbreak song for cherry blossom season, “SAKURA Regret.” Released as a single by FLOWER in 2012, it was chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s information variety program “Hiruobi!” The contrast between the happy times remembered with a former lover while gazing up at the cherry blossoms and the solitude she chose for herself is truly heartrending.

Yet by the end of the song, she bounces back and moves forward, making it an encouraging anthem as well.

It’s a recommended love song for women who want to overcome heartbreak this spring.
