JuneKOTORI51rank/position
A four-piece rock band KOTORI’s song, whose name comes from a classmate of the members, “Kotori-kun,” born from the desire to “make a friend famous.” It’s a track included on their first album, “kike,” and the opening—kicking off with a straightforward vocal and an emotional guitar riff—sets a beautifully bittersweet tone.
At first glance, the title doesn’t seem like a spring song, but as the lyrics tell a story of recalling spring in the season after it has passed, you may feel that the title “June,” marking the very beginning of summer, is truly a masterful choice.
It’s a lyrical number meant for each listener to overlay with their own spring and sing along.

It’s a classic song depicting the season when cherry blossoms dance in the air.
Released in May 2009, it was used as the theme song for the film “ROOKIES: Graduation.” The track is included on GReeeeN’s third album, “Shio, Kosho,” as well as their best-of album, “Imamade no A-men, B-men desu to!?” This song expresses gratitude toward family and friends and a resolve to set off into a new world.
Through imagery of spring breezes and cherry blossoms, it conveys the anticipation and anxiety of starting a new life, along with the sorrow of parting from loved ones.
It’s a perfect song for those entering a new chapter—graduation, matriculation, or starting a career.
Listening to it in spring makes it resonate even more deeply.

Sakurako Ohara is a singer who’s also active as a radio personality and actress, and her cute singing voice has won great popularity.
Her sixth single, “Hirari,” chosen as the theme song for the film “Let’s Go, Jets! From Small Town Girls to U.S.
Champions?!,” features an ensemble of strings and piano that heightens the sense of poignancy.
The lyrics vividly evoke scenes from a graduation ceremony and are sure to tug at the hearts of those about to graduate and those reminiscing about their own.
It’s a ballad perfect for spring, the graduation season, that conveys an unchanging friendship even when you’re apart.
The Wheat SongNakajima Miyuki54rank/position
Released in 2016 as the 43rd single, it was used as the CM song for GYAO’s broadcast “Celebration: Minami Takahashi’s Graduation ‘The Dream Seen at 148.5 cm’ at Yokohama Stadium.” It’s a very charming track with a sparkling sound.
The flower smiled.Sakushi: Hotomi Kōgo / Sakkyoku: Yuyama Akira55rank/position
Akira Yuyama, a composer who created numerous children’s songs and choral pieces, wrote “The Flowers Laughed.” In spring, a variety of flowers bloom in vivid colors, and just looking at them in the cheerful weather can make you feel warm and relaxed.
This song is packed with that cozy feeling—perhaps, from a child’s point of view, the flowers looked as if they were smiling.
Just imagining that scene is heartwarming, isn’t it? It’s a spring song that even very young children can sing easily.
