On nights when cherry blossoms flutter downmuramasa☆
It’s a slightly bittersweet love-rock tune that I’d love for couples to listen to together.
The song is by the ska band Muramasa☆, known for their catchy pop style, and it’s included on the 2010 compilation album “Spring Rock.” The light, feel-good sound is irresistible—the piercing horn section is downright refreshing.
And the lyrics, about wanting to pull your special someone close, carry the scent of youth.
Perfect for gazing at the night cherry blossoms with your lover.
SAKURA RegretFlower
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.

It’s a beautiful song that entrusts farewells and new beginnings to cherry blossom petals.
MISIA’s overwhelming vocal power wonderfully conveys both sorrow and hope.
The lyrics, which gently embrace past memories and emotions, truly resonate.
Released in February 2015, it was written as the theme song for the TV Tokyo drama special “The Eternal Zero.” It’s said that the lyrics, penned by MISIA herself, also carry a wish for peace.
If you listen to it on a quiet night while gazing at cherry blossoms, it will surely warm your heart.

Kujira’s song beautifully captures the bittersweet feelings of springtime love.
Like fleeting night cherry blossoms, it deftly portrays both the beginning and the end of romance.
The gentle melody and profound lyrics truly resonate.
Since its release in June 2020, it has remained a beloved classic for many.
The collaboration with Mei-chan is exquisite, with their voices blending perfectly.
I recommend listening to it alone on a spring night.
It’s a must-hear for anyone who relates to love that changes and fades like falling cherry blossoms.
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.

It’s a perfect party song for going wild all night.

It’s a track that accompanies those who want to reminisce with a loved one while gazing at springtime blossoms, or who keep waiting for someone dear.
