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.
