Anime Songs for Spring: Encounters and Farewells

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

『Sakurairo Sotsugyou』

Pink Graduation Kanon Nakagawa starring Nao Toyama

This is a single released under the name Kanon Nakagawa, a character from the anime The World God Only Knows, performed by Nao Toyama, who works as a voice actress and artist.

With a gentle sound centered on piano and strings and lyrics that evoke school memories anyone can relate to, it embodies the classic style of a graduation song.

Precisely because the expression is so straightforward, the hope for the future depicted in the lyrics comes through clearly and directly.

The heart is an egg.Hironobu Kageyama

Hironobu Kageyama – Kokoro wa Tamago

Kokoro wa Tamago by Hironobu Kageyama

Hironobu Kageyama, a star of the anison world affectionately known as “the Elder,” is beloved by many.

Even those not well-versed in anime songs have likely heard his work at least once.

Among his many masterpieces, the spring-evoking anison I recommend is Kokoro wa Tamago (“The Heart Is an Egg”).

Used as the ending theme for the popular tokusatsu hero series Chojin Sentai Jetman, the song carries the message that “no matter what happens between you and the one you love, if you have the courage to face it, you can resolve the problem.”

Sakura SoundPico

Piko – Sakura Sound Live

Sakuraoto Pico

This song was used as the ending theme for the anime “Yorinuki Gintama-san.” It’s a track by Piko, a singer who rose to fame through his activities as a utaite, and it was released in 2011 as his third single.

Piko’s lustrous vocals fit perfectly with the Japanese-style sound of the piece, and the way it unfolds so powerfully is really cool.

That said, the lyrics convey a bittersweet longing for someone important who has gone far away.

It’s an anison that pierces the heart in early spring.
