miwa “When Spring Comes” Music Video

This is the fifth single by singer-songwriter miwa, who has been surrounded by music since childhood under her father’s influence and is loved for her positive songs woven with her cute vocals.

Created as a tie-in song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’10–’11” and “Susume! Shin Seikatsu,” it features an exhilarating, snare-on-the-beat drive and refreshing guitar phrases that feel great.

The lyrics, which depict a friendship with a friend you can’t see often, are perfect for a gathering like hanami.

It’s a recommended number to color your cherry-blossom viewing with beautiful scenery and fun times.

A major-label debut single by the idol group °C-ute, formed by members of Hello! Project Kids and praised by their producer Tsunku♂ as having “the best performance in Hello! Project.” Despite being their debut, the song achieved the unprecedented feat for a female idol group of entering the Top 5 on the charts.

It’s a cute number with a light, off-beat rhythm that feels great.

The melodies and timbres that evoke folk music create a curious affinity with sakura—an age-old, special presence in Japan.

It’s a spring karaoke song that boosts the mood and gets everyone excited, perfect for keeping the energy high at karaoke after cherry blossom viewing.

Flowers are cherry blossoms; you are beautiful.ikimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari “Flowers Are Cherry Blossoms, You Are Beautiful” Music Video

This song is a cornerstone of Ikimonogakari and a defining track from their indie days.

It’s known as Ikimonogakari’s “sakura song” that existed before SAKURA.

The poignant melody and the delicate, spring-specific wistfulness tighten your chest.

It’s a track I’d recommend for the early spring, when a hint of cold still lingers.

A song by Ayano Tsuji, a singer-songwriter from Kyoto.

It’s her eighth single—a gentle, laid-back track full of her characteristic warmth.

The “la la la” melody in the chorus feels as pleasant as a spring breeze, making it a soothing song for everyone who listens.

It was also used as the ending theme for the TBS program “Sekai Fushigi Hakken!” (Discovery of the World’s Mysteries).

Yuzu “Sakura-kai” Music Video

Released in 2010, this song features folk instruments under the theme of “borderlessness.” Two years later, in 2012, it was used as the CM song for JR West’s “Sanyo–Kyushu Shinkansen Through-Service 1st Anniversary Campaign,” so many of you may have heard it.

The slight sense of transience that emerges from its pop melody seems to evoke the season of spring.
