wacci “Spring Breeze”

A five-member pop-rock band, wacci, whose members all had different musical careers or day jobs before forming the group.

This track, included on their second album “Kanjō Hyakkei,” opens with a spacious intro of piano and strings that evokes graduation, the hallmark event of spring.

The liberating chorus feels like a new vista spreading out before you, making it a perfect match for scenes of cherry blossoms dancing in the air.
