Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a signature number by Yorushika, a band formed by composer n-buna and vocalist suis that evokes both the warmth and the wistfulness of spring at the same time.

It features the tone of an acoustic guitar and a pleasant rhythm, and its poetic worldview—likening the wind that scatters cherry blossoms to a “thief”—is especially captivating.

The song is included on the EP “Sōsaku,” released in January 2021, and also drew attention as the theme for a Taisei Corporation TV commercial.

Since the official audio was released about ten months after the commercial began airing, many fans had long been waiting for it.

Portraying cherry blossoms as a metaphor for life, this piece is perfect for karaoke in March, when farewells and new encounters intersect.

While it demands a wide vocal range and expressive power, it’s a track you’ll want to choose if you wish to sing with heartfelt emotion.

Indigo squaredYorushika9rank/position

Yorushika – Blue Squared (Music Video)

Formed by composer n-buna and vocalist suis, Yorushika is a duo rock band that has gained popularity for its literary lyrics and delicate, ephemeral vocals.

Their first digital-only single, “Ainijou” (Indigo Twice), resonates with a story that captures the disillusionment and sense of loss of growing up, while still finding hope within it.

The song has a driving feel with intricate beats, and both the guitar and bass lines are highly active right from the intro, so it requires not only individual practice but also tight coordination as a band.

It’s a fitting number for a school festival—the kind of song listeners will likely relate to and hear as their own story.
