Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

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.

StoryAI

AI – Story

“Story,” AI’s breakout hit.

AI is renowned as a Japanese R&B singer, but in this song, the highlight is the part right before the final chorus.

The ad-libs, delivered in a high register while retaining vocal richness, are truly stunning.

The lyrics are crafted to feel positive, evoking the arrival of a new season.

Sakura MitsutsukiSPYAIR

SPYAIR “Sakura Mitsutsuki (Short ver.)”

This is a song by SPYAIR that was also used as an opening theme for the anime Gintama.

From the depictions of cherry blossoms in the title and lyrics, and the expressions of meetings and partings associated with them, it strongly conveys the feeling of spring.

While it’s a bittersweet track that seems to look back on memories shared by two people as they gaze at cherry blossoms and the moon—things deeply tied to remembrance during the season of farewells—it’s also a curious song that, with SPYAIR’s signature powerful sound, evokes a sense of hope moving toward the future.

Shytopes – Sweet Pea (Official Music Video)

A delicate, heartrending love song woven with deep feelings for a beloved and the resolve to say goodbye.

Through gentle, everyday details—moments when eyes can’t meet or the letting go of a hand—it tenderly portrays the end of a romance.

The beautiful imagery of sweet pea flowers likening a love that keeps blooming in the heart with the arrival of spring is especially striking.

Released by Chai Tope in March 2025, this piece was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime WIND BREAKER Season 2.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those trying to accept the end of love or who have experienced parting with someone precious.

To fall like a roseAKASAKI

[AKASAKI] Fall With the Rose / Fall With The Rose (Lyric Video)

A song by AKASAKI that delicately portrays the sweetness and ache of love and the pain of parting.

While resplendently singing of a love that cannot be stopped, it also beautifully captures the fragility of its end.

The genuine emotional expression and refined musicianship are perfectly balanced, making this piece, which seeps into the heart like a romance film, especially moving.

Released in February 2025, it was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Labyrinth of Love.” While rooted in rock, its innovative arrangement effectively incorporates elements of jazz and classical music, adding to its allure.

Highly recommended for those who have experienced a farewell with someone dear, or who are still struggling to sort out their feelings.
