Become a flowerflumpool
flumpool is a four-piece rock band that delighted fans by resuming activities in 2019, even after vocalist Ryuta Yamamura was diagnosed with functional dysphonia and went on hiatus in 2017.
Their major-label debut digital-only single, “Hana ni Nare,” which was used as the campaign song for au KDDI’s LISMO “PAINT IT MUSIC!” commercials, is a striking track featuring a contrast between strings and guitar-driven rock.
Its empowering message alone gives you courage—perfect for spring, when new chapters begin.
With a melody that carries a touch of melancholy and resonates in the heart, it’s a rock tune that evokes vivid images of spring.

The track features an impressive lineup of contributors, including Noriyuki Makihara, Motohiro Hata, and Sukima Switch.
In 2014, a self-cover version was included on Ukasuka-G’s first album, AMIGO.

The future I envisioned in my youth.
This song powerfully and beautifully portrays the preciousness of past memories and how, even if the real future turned out a little different, we’re still doing our best to live.
Perhaps everyone feels, at least once, that they’d like to return to the time when they had high hopes for themselves.
Spring is the season when new chapters begin.
Let’s live positively in the present, so we won’t be outdone by the feelings we had back then.

Like the light streaming in when you open the window on a calm spring morning, the tender, soul-soothing vocals and uplifting message leave a lasting impression.
Perfect for a spring drive, your morning commute to work or school, or any moment you want a fresh start—this is a song that will gently give you a push forward.

budKobukuro
Kobukuro’s first number-one hit was the 2007 single “Tsubomi.” Written and composed by Kentaro Kobuchi in memory of his late mother, it was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” The lyrics, which recall his mother’s image when seeing a flower bud, are achingly poignant, and the melancholy intro melody brings tears to the eyes.
“Tsubomi” is also cherished as a graduation song, making it a perfect track to listen to in spring.
