Popular Sakura Song Ranking [2026] (71–80)
Cherry blossom seasonFujifaburikku71rank/position
A nostalgic cherry blossom song that blends melancholy with warmth.
It’s a track by the rock band Fujifabric—known for hits like “Wakamono no Subete”—released in 2004 as their major-label debut single.
The guitar phrases, imbued with funk music’s essence, and the emotionally resonant piano draw you in with their interplay.
The lyrics, which capture subtle emotional nuances without framing farewell as either hopeless or positive, read almost like literature.
cherry blossomShimizu Shota72rank/position
This song, with its memorable, sentimental lyrics about seeing cherry blossoms in spring and being reminded of a former lover, is by Shota Shimizu.
One of Shimizu’s greatest charms is his beautifully clear, translucent voice, and you can feel that appeal in abundance here.
In particular, the chorus—where he switches between chest voice and falsetto—paired with the pure feelings depicted in the lyrics, is moving enough to bring you to tears.
It’s a recommended track when you’re in the mood for a calm, beautiful song.
The cherry blossoms bloom.ET-KING73rank/position
I think it resonates especially when you listen to it at times like graduation or moving away from your hometown! It’s a song by the Osaka-born music group ET-KING, released in 2010 as their 13th single.
Thanks to its catchy melody and down-to-earth vocals, the message in the lyrics comes through directly.
Having friends who make you feel this way is truly wonderful, isn’t it? Because of its content, I can recommend it as a great song to sing at a farewell party karaoke!
Before the cherry blossoms bloomkinoko teikoku74rank/position
Kinoko Teikoku’s “Before the Cherry Blossoms Bloom” portrays leaving a familiar town to chase dreams and goals.
Released in 2015, the song is their debut single.
The lyrics depict someone who, though reluctant to part with the time spent with friends, expresses a resolve to leave this place for their own ambitions.
The words convey a strong determination and poignancy—as if saying they may never meet again—while a touch of playful phrasing still lets you feel the weight of their goal.
And the idea of leaving even before the cherry blossoms bloom gives it a cool edge, too!
Let the cherry blossoms bloomarashi75rank/position
It’s a beloved classic that’s hugely popular as a cheer song.
It’s a track by the national idol group Arashi, released in 2005 as their 14th single.
Incredibly catchy, with a refreshing rock-style sound—it’s a pleasure to listen to.
The positive lyrics, packed with a powerful message to keep moving forward no matter what, are also a major draw.
It may resonate especially with those about to take entrance exams.
It’s also a great pick for karaoke.
Under the cherry treeMACO76rank/position
This song became a hot topic after being featured as an insert track in the drama “The World Where Only I Am 17.” It’s a piece by MACO, a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido, released digitally in 2020 as her 13th single.
The lyrics, which evoke the image of parting with someone important, are perfect for graduation season.
Many people will relate to the sentiment, “I was able to change because I met you.” Being separated from someone you were always with can be painful.
In times like that, try listening to comforting music like this.
SAKURA RegretFlower77rank/position
Flower, the female dance and vocal group from LDH that unfortunately disbanded in 2019.
Their song “SAKURA Regret” was their second single, released in 2012, and was used as the ending theme for the TV show Hiruobi!.
It tells the story of a short-lived romance that began in the cherry blossom season—a spring filled with wonderful memories that ended just a few months later.
Unable to forget that love, the singer looks up at the cherry blossoms and remembers him—something many listeners can likely relate to.
It’s a love song that carries sadness, yet ultimately encourages you to look forward.
