Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Spring Melancholy

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE delivers a deeply personal song written the day after a graduation ceremony.

It’s a heartwarming track that carefully weaves together the transience of youth and the preciousness of everyday life.

Set to a subtly wistful melody, it portrays time spent with friends in high school, the sadness of parting, and the difficulty of being honest with one’s feelings—beautifully capturing the complex emotions of adolescence that everyone experiences.

Released to the world in February 2018 as the B-side to the single “Love me, Love you,” it was also featured in a commercial for Suntory’s Craft Boss.

Embracing all who cherish everyday life, this work gently rekindles memories you want to keep tucked away in your heart.

It’s sure to resonate not only with high school students in the midst of their youth, but also with anyone who nostalgically looks back on their school days.

My Hair is Bad – Graduation (Official Video)

This “graduation” isn’t the graduation from school, but rather graduating from your lover.

The chorus that follows the speech-like melody line is very heartrending.

Even if there’s someone better than you, someone better than me, it’s a song that soaks in with the fleetingness and loveliness of the fact that we loved each other.

SHISHAMO – Third Button (Guitar)

It’s so heartbreaking that I don’t know much about you, and you don’t know anything about me.

Just as not everyone can always express their feelings, the “I” in this song can’t say anything, isn’t noticed, and ends up facing the day of goodbye.

Haven’t we all experienced something like that at least once? Please listen while remembering that day.
