JUJU “Sakura Ame” (Cherry Blossom Rain)

There are many songs about cherry blossoms, but this one is a track that leaves you with a bittersweet feeling.

“Sakura Ame” (Cherry Blossom Rain) is JUJU’s 12th single, released in 2010.

During cherry blossom season, both songs and commercials tend to be cheerful and upbeat.

But the rain of that season brings a sad feeling, as it makes the blossoms fall.

Perfect for that mood, this song is a sorrowful heartbreak ballad that brings back memories of an old love.

For anyone who just can’t forget someone, it’s a sentimental spring song that’s hard to listen to without tears.

It’s an uplifting anthem I’d like to dedicate to anyone welcoming spring and resolving to make a fresh start.

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.
