[Night Cherry Blossoms Songs] Carefully Selected Masterpieces and Popular Tracks About Cherry Blossoms That Evoke Dreamlike Scenes (41–50)
Sakura KomachiNaoto Intiraimi (feat. Kankan)
Sakura Komachi, which became a hot topic after being remade from the second single released under the name NAOTO INTI RAYMI by Naoto Inti Raymi and performed as a duet with vocalist Kankan, is a track that opens with melodies and sounds evoking traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Its emotionally charged sound has been reborn with a modern edge through driving synths, subtly conjuring the feeling of night.
Be sure to enjoy comparing it with the original version as well.
Dreams and Leaf-Cherry TreesAoki Gekkou
Yume to Hazakura, which depicts cherry blossoms with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere, conveys an elegant aura.
Released in 2011, this piece is a song by Aoki Gekko, a trio of Vocaloid producers.
Like the sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom, moments of joy pass by all too fleetingly… Even while carrying such bittersweet feelings, the song portrays a resolve to live strongly in reality.
It’s a track that can empower anyone embarking on a new beginning this spring.
cherry blossomDA PUMP
The single released after the smash hit “U.S.A.”—which took the world by storm and swept every award—was this song, “Sakura.” Until “Sakura” came out, all of DA PUMP’s single titles were written in English, except for their 21st single, “Mune Kogasu…”.
That alone shows how much the members poured into this track.
The lyrics, with a spirit like “living with the heart of the cherry blossom—symbolic of the Japanese soul—close to your chest,” are staunch and evocative of the ancient Yamato spirit.
You can almost see cherry blossom petals glowing translucently in the light of a lantern.
The lyrics are also sprinkled with words that evoke quintessential Japan, making them poetically beautiful.
Please check out the lyrics on their own!
cherry blossoms at nightLOONIE
It’s included as the second track on their debut single “Haru Urara Rurara,” released in 2006.
The three-member unit was formed by MC PASSER and drummer YUICHI from Mach 25, which disbanded in 2004, together with vocalist RYO.
It’s a perfect party song for going wild all night.
Just be careful not to go overboard!
DepartureSCANDAL
The four-member girls’ rock band SCANDAL released “Departure” in 2014.
This song is the first for which the members handled both lyrics and composition, and it’s a love song that conveys a faint, bittersweet feeling that tightens the chest.
She’s likely thinking of the boyfriend she broke up with and will never see again; the memory of viewing the night cherry blossoms left an especially vivid impression on her heart, and every time she sees those blossoms, every time that season comes, she’s reminded of him.
The title “Departure” carries meanings like “setting out from where you are” and “departure,” which conveys her intention to bring closure to her own heart.
Hanami VenusThe Do-Nuts
This song, Hanami Venus, by The Do-Nuts—a girls’ group from Okinawa that unfortunately disbanded in 2008—was released as a single in 2007.
It’s such a catchy cherry-blossom song that it feels pretty rare to find one with this much groove (lol).
If you use it as background music for a hanami party, it’s sure to get everyone hyped, don’t you think? With playful, sing-along lyrics, it’s a track that lifts your spirits.
It’s definitely a song I’d love to hear during a nighttime hanami.
Kid, I Like QuartetUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
It’s the opening theme for the OAD “Yozakura Quartet ~Hoshi no Umi~,” which came with volumes 9–11 of the Yozakura Quartet manga and was included on the 2011 album “Populus Populus.” The song, themed around the four emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure—carries UNISON’s signature sense of speed along with a message about treasuring the feeling of love.
There are times when your style gets dismissed, or when daily life just doesn’t go your way and you get frustrated—but don’t those feelings blow away before you know it when you’re listening to your favorite track? Listening to “Kid I Like Quartet” might help you be honest with your own joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while dashing through rows of night-blooming cherry trees!
