Released as a single in March 2022, it resonated with many people, ranking high in LINE MUSIC’s real-time music video charts.
Known for “Bokura Mata,” SG penned this track in his own words, offering not only the sorrow of parting but also the courage to look ahead.

April windNEW!Elefanto Kashimashi
This work features a melody that feels somehow nostalgic and evokes the breath of spring, resonating in the heart.
Hiroji Miyamoto’s powerful yet warm vocals gently accompany this season when anxiety and anticipation are intertwined.

Included on the single “Kanashimi no Hate,” released in April 1996, it became familiar as the song used in the “Toshiba Multimedia” commercial.
It was also selected for FM802’s Heavy Rotation in April 1996, etching itself into the memories of many through radio play.
The track is also featured on the album “Kokoro ni Hana o.” How about enjoying a pleasant time slip on a spring morning when a new life begins, or when you feel the spring breeze during a walk?
Spring ThiefNEW!Yorushika
This is a signature number by Yorushika, a band formed by composer n-buna and vocalist suis that evokes both the warmth and the wistfulness of spring at the same time.
It features the tone of an acoustic guitar and a pleasant rhythm, and its poetic worldview—likening the wind that scatters cherry blossoms to a “thief”—is especially captivating.
The song is included on the EP “Sōsaku,” released in January 2021, and also drew attention as the theme for a Taisei Corporation TV commercial.
Since the official audio was released about ten months after the commercial began airing, many fans had long been waiting for it.
Portraying cherry blossoms as a metaphor for life, this piece is perfect for karaoke in March, when farewells and new encounters intersect.
While it demands a wide vocal range and expressive power, it’s a track you’ll want to choose if you wish to sing with heartfelt emotion.

Released as a single in February 2009, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Drop,” directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa.
It portrays an unbreakable, powerful bond forged through rivalry—at times colored by inferiority and frustration—yet never severed.
Rather than stringing together pretty words, it depicts the raw, clumsy, and honest clashes of male friendship that’s sure to stir listeners’ hearts.
