Created as an inspiration song for the film “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet,” it aligns with the movie’s worldview while showcasing a refined arrangement.
It’s perfect for those starting a new chapter with unforgettable memories, or for anyone who wants to soak in a sentimental mood while feeling the spring breeze.

After a long hiatus, Remioromen has finally made a hopeful comeback.
Included as their first new song in about 15 years on the album “SINGLES BEST+,” released in March 2026, this track is perfect for a springtime drive with the windows down.
With Takeshi Kobayashi joining the production, the exhilarating band sound—carried by Ryota Fujimaki’s expansive vocals—evokes both warm nostalgia and excitement for the future.
The video shot in their home prefecture of Yamanashi also drew attention, and if you listen to this song while cruising with the windows wide open, you’ll surely feel the courage to dive into new scenery.

Spring personNEW!AYANE
This is a ballad that layers deep feelings for a cherished person you can no longer meet with images of spring’s arrival and a starry sky.
Its wistful yet warm melody, together with a core strength that seems to vow a fresh start beyond sorrow, resonates deeply in the heart.
Performed by Ayane, portrayed by Meru Nukumi, the song appears in the 2026 film “The Last Song You Left Behind,” where it was released in advance in February 2026 as an in-film track.
There’s even a story that Shunsuke Michieda, the lead actor, heard the vocals during filming and, beyond acting, was moved to tears naturally.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to step into a new season while holding on to unforgettable memories.
On a spring night when changes in your environment bring confusion or loneliness, why not listen quietly while gazing up at the sky?

It’s a track brimming with powerful energy that feels like breaking through your own limits.
Crafted by [Alexandros], who have delivered countless rock anthems, this song pairs tension and liberation to match the anime’s world, which follows the protagonist’s growth into a “monster,” and it really hits you in the chest.
Released in April 2025 as a pre-release single from the album “PROVOKE,” it was chosen as the opening theme for Season 1 of the TV anime “Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray.” It also drew attention for dropping right after the broadcast began.
If you’re feeling anxious in a new environment or need to fire yourself up, listening to it is sure to give you courage.
Why not let this song spark that springtime urge to dash forward?
lulu.NEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
This song was released in January 2026 to mark the beginning of Phase 3.
As the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End,” it grandly portrays the journey of the story and the passage of time.
When the tie-in information dropped on the night of January 11, the day before the digital release, they followed it up with a surprise MV premiere the next day—a very them-like move that generated buzz.
This work carries a powerful sense of courage fitting for spring, a season of new encounters and departures.
It’s also recommended to listen while immersing yourself in the anime’s worldview and feeling the expanse of nature.

This song feels like it depicts the conflicts, struggles, and feelings for someone important that you experience during adolescence.
Some parts are expressed in straightforward words, while others aren’t, and the lyrics feel like a direct reflection of a troubled heart, which I find very relatable.
People who feel the same way might find themselves in tears, don’t you think?
Spring ThiefYorushika
It’s a beautiful, lyrical song that likens the fleeting fall of cherry blossoms to life itself and portrays the flow of the wind as the passage of time.
Yorushika’s crystal-clear melodies and poetic lyrics blend seamlessly to capture the bittersweetness of spring.
Released in January 2021 and included on the album “Sakuhin,” the track was also featured in a Taisei Corporation TV commercial, moving the hearts of many.
The fully CG-animated music video vividly conveys the song’s world as well.
It’s a perfect piece for those slightly melancholy moments in the spring season, when anticipation and anxiety about new beginnings intertwine.
In times of parting or meeting someone important, it’s a song that gently stays by your side—I highly recommend giving it a listen.
