Yu Takahashi “Sakura no Uta” Special Short Edit

Spring brings back all kinds of memories, doesn’t it? This song features lyrics that, prompted by cherry blossoms, recall promises made with a former lover.

It’s a track I especially recommend for those moments when the cherry blossom season makes you suddenly think of “that person” and feel sentimental.

moment; instant; a split secondWASHIZAKI Ken

I tried doing a sing-and-play performance of Ken Washizaki’s “Setsuna” using slap technique.

It portrays the complex emotion of facing a farewell yet finding yourself involuntarily recalling the memories you shared with that person, with those feelings of love welling up again.

The lyrics convey the pain as well, suggesting that even the way they said goodbye to you now feels dear.

True to her music, which is strongly associated with piano-and-vocal performances, the piano’s tone resonates strikingly throughout the track.

The song’s content evokes looking at a scene of cherry blossoms in bloom and reflecting on memories of time spent together.

It also conveys a sense of resolve to move forward into the future while holding those memories close.

Thanks to the overall sonic atmosphere, it’s not merely bittersweet—it also suggests a bright sense of hope.
