After the cherry blossoms (all quartets lead to the?)UNISON SQUARE GARDEN22rank/position
The exhilarating sound and vocals might clear your mind in an instant! This track by the three-piece rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN was released in 2013 as their eighth single.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta.
It’s got that signature sharp, punchy production that they’re known for—packed with highlights like crisp guitar cutting and a wildly active bassline.
The positive lyrics about “enjoying the moment” are truly empowering.
When cherry-blossom hues danceNakajima Mika23rank/position
A classic song that overlays the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms with the bittersweetness of spring and memories of love.
Its delicate piano and string arrangement strikingly highlights Mika Nakashima’s deep, resonant vocals.
While accepting farewells and change, the longing for eternity is beautifully expressed alongside the cherry blossom scenery, a hallmark of spring in Japan.
Released in February 2005, the song was also included on the album “MUSIC” in March of the same year.
With its straightforward emotional expression and lyrical melody line, it’s a moving track—highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the poignant feelings that come with the arrival of spring.
Cherry blossom seasonFujifaburikku24rank/position
A wistful yet warm number that conjures up scenes of spring.
It’s a work released by the lyrically acclaimed band Fujifabric in April 2004 as their major-label debut single.
It weaves feelings of helplessness at farewells when the cherry blossoms fall and at setting off for a distant town.
The clear, translucent piano tone is striking, giving the sense of gently filling in the blanks in the listener’s memories.
As the beginning of a four-season series, this piece was also included on the album “Fujifabric.” It has been listened to for many years, even appearing in high school music textbooks in the 2022 school year.
It’s recommended for those moments when you pause at a turning point in life and want to soak in a sentimental mood.
cherrysupittsu25rank/position
It’s a classic song with a warm yet wistful melody that makes you feel the arrival of an exciting new season.
Its world depicting parting and new beginnings overlaps with the scenes of spring.
Released as a single by Spitz in April 1996, it’s also included on the album “Indigo Chiheisen.” Although it had no tie-in at the time of release, it became a million seller, and in 2019 it was used in an NTT East Japan commercial.
It’s a song I’d recommend to elementary school students facing big changes like graduation or new class assignments.
Why not take a new step forward with this piece, which can turn anxious feelings into courage?
Heralding springyama26rank/position
If you’re looking for a stylish, cool spring song, this is the one! It’s a track by yama, a singer who gained attention through online activity.
With its brisk beat and urban sound, it’ll have you wanting to sway along as you listen.
The lyrics depict the loneliness felt in a late-night room, gently accompanying those fluttery feelings that come with a new environment.
Released digitally in April 2020, this piece was reportedly produced without yama ever meeting the songwriter-composer Kujira in person.
If you can ride the rhythm and sing it through, it’s sure to blow away any lingering gloom.
For elementary schoolers who want to enjoy spring with a slightly mature vibe, give it a try!
Sakura SongKANA-BOON27rank/position
A song that captures the bittersweetness of youthful love with an exhilarating tempo.
Told from a male perspective, the love story vividly portrays how memories linger even as he grapples with his own immaturity.
Melodic rock intertwines with a fragile yearning, creating a track of delicate emotion.
Included on the album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” which could be called the culmination of KANA-BOON’s indie era, this piece is one that leaves a deep afterglow—perfect for adding color to the start of a new school term or to springtime farewells.
Happy SynthesizerEasy Pop28rank/position
A smash hit with over 20 million plays.
It was released in 2010, yet its popularity continues, with new comments still appearing.
The phrase “electronic sound” in the lyrics evokes the dawn of Vocaloid.
As you listen, it’s a mysterious song that makes you want to fall in love with electronic sounds.
Why not take this gentle April weather as a chance to reflect on the history of Vocaloid?
