Come, spring.Matsutōya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya – Come, Spring

A masterwork by Yumi Matsutoya that delicately portrays the longing for spring.

Released in October 1994 as the theme song for an NHK morning drama series, it became a major hit, reaching No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

Its emotionally rich melody—woven from nostalgia for days gone by and anticipation of a new season—resonates deeply with listeners.

More than just a seasonal song, it embraces universal themes of renewal and hope, and has been featured in commercials for Suntory’s BOSS Rainbow Mountain Blend and All Nippon Airways.

Cherished by many as a heartwarming number that accompanies life’s milestones and new beginnings in spring, it continues to be beloved today.

[Suite] KAFU × Kujira #97 “Spring Sunlight” [Original MV]

Gently depicting the scene of a graduation ceremony, this work is a warm piece like the fleeting light of spring.

The refreshing piano melody and KAFU’s translucent vocals beautifully capture both the bittersweetness and hope of the cherry blossom season, harmonizing wonderfully with Kujira’s delicate production.

Created in March 2022, it was released to coincide with KAFU’s milestone high school graduation and is also included on the album “Suite.” The lyrics accompany even the bright moments of parting, overflowing with a kindness like a pep song that gives you the courage to open a new door.

How about adding this fresh and warm track to a drive under the gentle spring sunlight?

A masterpiece woven from a gentle singing voice that stays close to the heart and lyrics that gracefully portray nostalgia for days gone by.

Featured on the album “COBALT HOUR,” released by Yumi Arai in June 1975, this song delicately expresses life and change after graduation.

It lyrically spins memories of a cherished person who lives on forever within the warmth of reminiscence.

It was also selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Sotsu Uta” and the film “Watch with Me.” A heartwarming encouragement song to listen to in times of sorrow or at life’s crossroads.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with thoughts for your friends and teachers as graduation season arrives, I recommend “Sakura no Ki ni Narō.” It was released in 2011 by the national idol group AKB48 and was used as the theme song for the drama “Sakura kara no Tegami: AKB48 Sorezore no Sotsugyō Monogatari.” The song features a simple piano accompaniment with resonant strings.

Please listen to it while reflecting on the fun days of school life.

Its easy-to-sing melody and lyrics make it a recommended graduation song for elementary school students.

Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Friend’s Song”

BUMP OF CHICKEN, the hugely popular rock band whose appearance on the 2021 Kohaku Uta Gassen was a hot topic, has lifted many people’s spirits with their refreshing sound and fairytale-like, beautiful worldview.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for elementary school students is “Tomodachi no Uta” (Song for Friends), released in 2011.

It was written as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels, which premiered the same year.

Friends are especially important for elementary schoolers, and this is a song that makes you want to cherish the friends who are by your side.

Spring makes your heart race with class shuffles and meeting new friends, doesn’t it? For times like that, I recommend listening to “Michi” (Road).
