Popular Spring Songs Ranking [2026] (61–70)
Dreams and Leaf-Cherry TreesAoki Gekkou64rank/position
A three-person Vocaloid producer unit consisting of a lyricist, a composer, and a video creator, Aoki Gekkou.
Despite being their VOCALOID debut work, “Yume to Hazakura” made it into the Hall of Fame.
Its ethereal arrangement, featuring piano and strings, evokes the scenes suggested by the title.
The sentimental melody carried by the nostalgic ensemble seems like it would feel great to sing at karaoke.
It’s a Vocaloid track with a memorable Japanese-style melody that evokes the pleasant breezes of May.
cherry blossomKawaguchi Kyogo65rank/position
With its simple yet deeply moving melody and richly expressive musicality, it continues to be cherished as a timeless classic.
The lyrics, which skillfully weave in the changing seasons, carry a warm message of hope for a future with a loved one and the resolve to move forward with hope in one’s heart.
Released in December 2003 by Warner Music Japan, this piece was created for a commercial featuring Doraemon as the image character.
Like a warm breeze that heralds the arrival of spring, it is a gem you’ll want to listen to whenever you wish to feel calm and gentle.
Aprilmol-7466rank/position
A signature song by mol-74, woven from translucent vocals and delicate sound.
Centered on April—the symbol of spring’s arrival—it beautifully portrays the emotions of looking back on a past romance.
The resolve to stay true to oneself, even while struggling with the gap between ideals and reality, is striking.
It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who’s faced a parting with someone dear at the start of a new season.
Sakura, flutterSazan Ōrusutāzu67rank/position
The Southern All Stars’ new song features a heartwarming melody that evokes the arrival of spring.
Using cherry blossoms as a motif, it carries a message of hope and renewal, making it truly wonderful.
Released as a lead single from the album “THANK YOU SO MUCH” on January 1, 2025, the track coincided with the first anniversary of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Keisuke Kuwata’s warm vocals are accompanied by an acoustic guitar that breezes in like a spring wind.
It’s a moving song you’ll want to listen to during graduation and school entrance season.
Sing of springback number68rank/position
Back Number’s “Turning Spring into a Song” has been beloved by many fans since their indie days.
Contrary to spring’s gentle atmosphere, the helpless feelings and lingering attachment after a farewell are penned in Iyori Shimizu’s real, down-to-earth words.
The song is included on the mini-album “Nogashita Sakana,” released in February 2009, and was later selected for their 2016 best-of album “Encore”—a number that can truly be called one of their origins.
The unadorned guitar sound, rather than being flashy, only heightens the urgency and poignancy.
In April, when meetings and partings intersect, if you listen on a night when you want to pause and sink into nostalgia, it’s a track that will quietly stay close to your heart—a song perfect for a spring night.
Song of SpringUkasukaji69rank/position
Perfect for cherry blossom season, this gem of a song was crafted by the duo Ukasuka-G.
Its refreshing melody evokes the arrival of spring and the start of new beginnings, and the heartwarming lyrics are truly memorable.
Produced in March 2014 as FM802’s “ACCESS!” campaign song, it features a star-studded lineup of participating artists.
It also shines as a motivational anthem that gently encourages those stepping into a new environment.
Wrapped in the warmth of spring, it’s a track I highly recommend to anyone about to take that first step forward.
Early summer rainRemioromen70rank/position
A coupling track from the single “Akashia,” which also appeared on their early classic album ether released in 2005.
The bass groove is irresistible, and the vivid, Remioromen-style scene-setting makes it a must-hear for fans of Japanese rock! Its charm also lies in the curious mix of crisp, sun-dried brightness and a lingering wetness—like the freshness after the rain.
“Samidare,” which perfectly matches the scent of May.
It’s easy to get into and great when you want a moderate lift in energy.
Give it a try at karaoke on a rainy day or right after the rain!
