How does Naoto Inti Raymi manage to be so effortlessly cool—how can someone be that natural? His song “Kimi ni Aitakatta” was his seventh single, released in 2012.

The lyrics depict an exquisitely beautiful world of pure love: “No matter how far apart we are, even if I’m reborn in the next life, I’ll come to see you.” Even the intro, with just a single gentle strum—porororon—feels so refreshing.

It became a hot topic when it was used in a Nissen commercial.

GIVE ME FIVE !AKB48

This is AKB48’s 25th single, tagged with the catchphrase: “Once we’ve cried our fill, let’s high-five!” The center is AKB’s immovable ace, Atsuko Maeda.

It’s the group’s fifth so-called “sakura song,” and a rare single for them in that it was released with a full band arrangement.

The title “GIVE ME FIVE” refers to a high-five, and it feels like this one phrase contains the beautiful youthfulness of “We’re graduating and going our separate ways, but let’s end it with a smiling high-five.” It’s a cherry blossom song full of memories that makes you stop what you’re doing and watch whenever it comes on in a commercial.

Spring meltsindigo la End

A song that combines both the strength and delicacy that evoke the arrival of spring.

Released as a digital-only single in March 2022 by indigo la End, it was written by Enon Kawatani as a campaign song for FM802 and Hanshin Expressway.

It’s actually a self-cover of a track originally released under the limited-time unit name “Radio Bootsy.” The lyrics, which poignantly capture the wish to be reborn as a new self while repeating encounters and farewells, leave a strong impression.

The vibrant, springlike worldview is beautifully depicted, making it perfect for times when you want a fresh start.

It’s a song that gently gives a push to those embarking on a new chapter in life.

It was featured as the CM song for NTT East’s “DENPO115.” It truly evokes a world that symbolizes Japan’s cherry blossoms.

The lyrics paint scenes so vividly they rise right before your eyes, and Masanori Shimada’s deeply moving arrangement seeps into your heart.

Maybe cherry blossoms can keep our feelings connected even as time passes.

It’s a beautiful ballad that perfectly matches springtime scenery.

Candies was an idol group representing the Showa era, consisting of Ran Ito, Miki Fujimura, and Yoshiko Tanaka.

Along with their nicknames Ran, Sue, and Miki, they lit up living rooms across Japan alongside acts like The Drifters.

One of their signature songs is Haru Ichiban, a perfect springtime piece that hints at a fresh new beginning.

The intro, starting with a softly played guitar, evokes the charm of the good old Showa days.

It also drew attention for weaving the titles of singles the Candies themselves had released into the lyrics.
