My Favorite (My Favorite Things)toukyou shiokouji
When you think of the “Yes, let’s go to Kyoto” commercials, many people probably recall the jazz standard My Favorite Things.
The song, also featured in the musical and film The Sound of Music, has been covered by countless artists.
In the Spring: Dawn and Cherry Blossoms edition of the commercial, the eight-member musical band Tokyo Shiokouji performs the piece.
Rather than a straightforward jazz rendition, their unique sensibilities bring a modern, stylish sound to the arrangement.
Listening to it makes you feel as though you might encounter a different side of Kyoto.
Come, spring.Matsutōya Yumi
This song, Haru yo, Koi by Yumi Matsutoya, has been used in commercials such as Huis Ten Bosch and Suntory’s canned coffee BOSS.
Released in 1994 as Matsutoya’s 26th single, it is also known for being the theme song of an NHK morning drama series with the same title.
The song is often associated with the beauty of the Japanese language, and it’s essentially a song about spring—or rather, about yearning for spring.
Because of that, it carries a sense of coldness and loneliness, conveying the feeling of holding on and patiently waiting for spring to arrive.
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
A signature song by Masaharu Fukuyama that was released in 2000 and became a massive hit.
In March 2017, it was used as the CM song for Asahi Super Dry’s “Spring that connects hearts.” The lyrics reflect his feelings from when he lived near Sakurazaka, and as a heartbreak song that overlaps with the fluttering feelings of spring and with cherry blossoms, it’s still often cited as a classic spring tune.
Yet when you listen to it, there’s also a soothing quality that gently calms the heart.
It seems like it would feel especially pleasant to hear it while basking in the soft spring sunlight.
Gazing up, the sky is blueHata Motohiro
Motohiro Hata’s “Aogeba Aozora” grabs you right from the start.
The song is included on Hata’s sixth album, Copernicus, released in 2019.
As the title evokes the traditional song “Aogeba Tōtoshi,” this track centers on the theme of graduation.
It features Hata’s signature vocals—refreshing yet emotionally stirring—and its lyrics pierce the heart, even for those not on the verge of graduating.
The beautiful melody is entrancing, and the expansive chorus is equally captivating.
SAKURA, I love you?Nishino Kana
Nishino Kana’s “SAKURA, I love you?” overlays the scene of falling cherry blossoms with her own wavering feelings of love.
Released in 2012, the song was used in a commercial for the Sony Walkman “Play You.” campaign.
Even though she has a new lover now, the one she still longs for is her ex…
The way Nishino Kana sings, as if telling herself she doesn’t love him anymore, feels strikingly real and hits home.
I bet many women can relate.
