Kaientai Popular Song Ranking [2026] (11–20)

Spring comes from the southKaientai15rank/position

It’s a heartwarming song that vividly evokes the richness of spring’s natural scenery.

It portrays spring arriving from the southern seas, with the sweet scent of the tide awakening childhood memories.

Beyond the joy and renewal that come with spring, it also expresses the complex feelings after overcoming life’s hardships, deeply resonating with listeners.

Included on the 1973 album “Bokyō-hen” (Homeland Chapter), the song features an approachable melody with folk elements.

It’s a perfect pick for those who want to feel their hearts lift with the spring season or sink into nostalgic memories.

Come to think of it, we’ve come a long way. — Kaientai

This song is about a 14-year-old boy who once dreamed of the future and believed he could become many different versions of himself, looking back 30 years later at his realistic life and not knowing what lies ahead.

While Kaientai is famous for songs like “Okuru Kotoba” and “Haha ni Sasageru Ballad,” if you’re singing at karaoke, I recommend this one.
