Sakuraarashi
This song was written as the theme for the drama Ouroboros: Kono Ai Koso, Seigi, which starred Toma Ikuta and Shun Oguri, and it also drew attention for being the first time a track was provided to a work without any members of Arashi appearing in it.
Released as a single in February 2015, it’s a serious and powerful dance number that differs from the gentle image of typical “sakura songs.” It has a cool worldview where light and shadow intersect, offering a different vibe from the poppy spring tunes of the past.
It’s perfect for those spring moments that aren’t all bright and cheerful, and it’s an irresistible track for anyone who wants to feel Arashi’s cool side—including the choreography.

Miho Asaka’s track on the single “Kokoro no Hanamichi,” released in January 2026, is a song you’ll want to hear with the arrival of spring.
Its gently expressive piano and strings leave a strong impression, and the fresh, ballad-style arrangement sets it apart from traditional enka.
It’s also known as the first work for which she handled both lyrics and composition.
The lyrics portray the feelings of a protagonist who left their hometown to pursue a dream, conveying a heartfelt message about cherishing the bonds with those who supported them—one that truly resonates.
Miho Asaka’s steadfast voice soothes anxious hearts and gives a gentle push forward.

The exotic tones of the Mongolian lute seem to announce the arrival of spring with splendor.
This is a single released in January 2025 as a commemorative work by Chikako Sakura, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her entertainment career since her 1998 debut.
Using the flower in her stage name as a motif, it holds prayers for the fulfillment of wishes and reflections on the transience of life.
The composition is by her mentor, Chiaki Oka, and it’s striking how, rather than belting out the vocals, she opts for restrained expression that evokes allure and lingering resonance.
Listened to alongside the coupling track Drift Ice Tavern, the shifting shades of the season from winter to spring feel even deeper.
It may be a masterpiece that gently stays by your side when you want to send a secret wish to the heavens, or when you quietly enjoy a drink alone on a spring night.

Known as the “Reiwa-era Showa Kayou Girl,” Kokoro Umetani released this piece on Type-B of her single “Secret Flower,” which came out in April 2025—a spring song marked by a refreshingly pop-leaning melody.
The lyrics, penned by Masao Urino and said to be based on her experience moving to Tokyo, capture the loneliness felt amid the city’s bustle and the faint stirrings of a love admired from afar.
Released after she won the Best New Artist Award at the 66th Japan Record Awards, this work lets her fresh expressive power vividly bring out the aching scenes.
It’s a recommended track for moments when you want to linger under the cherry blossoms with memories of the past, or when you need a gentle push while facing a new environment.

After his time with EXILE, Shunsuke Kiyokiba—now performing as a “uta iya,” a singer who moves the soul—continues to sing songs that stir the heart.
This work, with its beautifully resonant string melodies, overlays the chill of winter with the imagery of cherry blossoms, conveying a message that is both heartrending and powerful.
Although it was released as a single in December 2007, it had actually been performed earlier in the bonus footage of the album IMAGE and at live venues, making it a piece that fans had long hoped to see officially recorded.
The melody co-written by Shunsuke Kiyokiba and Raon Kawane sinks deeply into the heart.
In this season where partings and new departures intersect, it is a masterpiece best heard while quietly gazing up at the night cherry blossoms.
