It’s the ending theme of the anime Bakemonogatari and one of supercell’s signature songs.

Even many people who haven’t seen Bakemonogatari know this track, and it’s considered a classic among spring songs.

It’s a recommended spring song for elementary school students who like Vocaloid and HoneyWorks.

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

A song brimming with distinctly Japanese sentiment has been born, intertwining cherry blossoms with feelings of love.

Released by Ikimono-gakari in January 2008, this piece portrays the pure emotional landscape of youth alongside the gentle scenes of spring.

Incorporating traditional Japanese expressions and polite language, it beautifully harmonizes an old-fashioned flavor with a modern sensibility.

The melody is based on the yonanuki pentatonic scale, and its rhythmic phrases leave a strong impression.

It was also used in a commercial and reached a peak position of No.

7 on the Oricon charts.

It’s a perfect song to listen to as spring approaches, and is recommended even for elementary school students about to embark on a new school term.

Goodbye Bus / Yuzu (Cover)

Under the gentle sunshine of early spring, the perfect song for elementary school children walking with little backpacks is Yuzu’s “Sayonara Bus.” Ever since its 1999 release, this timeless favorite is often sung at farewells like graduations, but its lyrics carry not only sadness—there are sprinkles of hope for the future, too.

With the warm melody and words crafted by Yujin Kitagawa, it’s a song that can help you take a fresh step into a new stage.

As spring brings the start of life in a new class, why not listen to this track and begin making new memories with your friends?

Dai Hirai / The Way Home in March (Lyric Video)

This is a memorable ballad that warmly depicts the scenery of graduation season.

With his gentle voice, Dai Hirai delicately sings about the subtle emotional sway that mixes joy and loneliness at the moment of departure.

Expressing the complex feelings that come with life’s milestones like advancing to a new stage or graduating, alongside the calm scenery of spring, the piece is also notable for its elegant arrangement of piano and strings.

Released digitally in February 2022, it is also included on the album “LOVE＋PEACE.” It is a song that resonates with the arrival of spring, offering comfort to those setting off into new environments and to those parting from cherished friends.

Cherry Blossom ForestHoshino Gen

Sakura Forest / Gen Hoshino (I secretly tried playing and singing it.)

While actively working as an actor, Gen Hoshino is also making great strides as a musician.

His stylish sound, heavily influenced by Western music, along with his gentle lyrics and vocals, is truly captivating.

“Sakura no Mori,” released in 2014, is a song that lets you quietly celebrate the arrival of spring.

The funky band sound, so characteristic of Hoshino, reveals his meticulous attention to sonic detail.

The lyrics, simple like a children’s song, are pleasantly soothing to the ear.

The melody is also straightforward and easy to sing, making it a perfect spring song for elementary school students to perform!

Naotaro Moriyama – Sakura (Solo)

This song, themed around cherry blossoms that brighten the spring graduation season, gently sings of farewells, reunions, and the treasured memories that remain in our hearts.

Naotaro Moriyama’s clear, pure vocals and the majestic arrangement of piano and strings resonate deeply.

The beautiful story, intertwining life’s important moments with the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms, leaves a lasting impression on listeners.

Released in March 2003, the track was chosen as the ending theme for the MBS/TBS program “Sekai Ururun Taizaiki,” and was later included on the album “In Search of New Spices.” Embraced as a song that accompanies life’s milestones such as graduation and school entrance ceremonies, it has also become a gentle, comforting piece for elementary school children.

SAKURA,I love you?Nishino Kana

Kana Nishino - “SAKURA, I love you?” (short ver.)

Spring is a season of both meetings and partings, isn’t it? Some of you may have had to separate from someone you love.

For those carrying that bittersweet feeling, I recommend Kana Nishino’s “SAKURA, I love you?”.

Kana Nishino’s love songs are always so relatable.

In this track, she sings about a young woman’s wavering heart—torn between wanting to keep thinking about the person she loves and wanting to give up.

It’s a very poignant song that likens the trembling of the heart to falling cherry blossom petals.
