[Spring Love Songs] Recommended Masterpieces and Popular Love Songs to Listen to During Cherry Blossom Season (61–70)
Meltryo (supercell) & yanaginagi
Known as one of Hatsune Miku’s signature songs, “Melt” is a hit written and composed by ryo of supercell, released in 2007 and since covered by many singers.
It’s a love song packed with a girl’s cute, one-sided crush, capturing the emotional ups and downs sparked by even the smallest things the other person says or does—something anyone currently in unrequited love will surely relate to! The lyrics have a sense of excitement, and the bouncy melody even gives off a spring-like vibe.
SAKURAikimonogakari
Spring is also a season of partings, isn’t it? With graduations and new jobs, many people find they can no longer be together.
For those in that situation, I recommend Ikimono-gakari’s “SAKURA.” Released on March 15, 2006, it was the band’s debut single.
The song tells of a romance that ended because of graduation.
It’s a track that resonates with anyone who has looked at cherry blossoms and remembered days spent with a lover.
The fact that they didn’t break up because they disliked each other makes it all the more bittersweet.
It’s a song I hope you’ll listen to to help you get through that heartache.
A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE
SIAM SHADE is a five-member rock band that disbanded in 2002 and has reunited several times since to continue performing.
Their signature and smash-hit song “1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou” was released in 1997 and also gained popularity as an ending theme for the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
It’s a love song brimming with a rock flavor, also known for being covered by many artists.
Recommended for those seeking an energetic, fast-paced track that expresses uncontrollable feelings rather than a quiet, reflective love song.
I won’t say it, though.Ōhara Yuiko
Yuiko Ohara’s “Iwanai Kedo ne” paints a delicate portrait of a tsundere girl’s budding feelings.
Released in 2018, the song was used as the opening theme for the anime Teasing Master Takagi-san.
It vividly depicts a girl who seems tsun—people around them think they’re dating, she wishes she could see a different side of him, and although she secretly likes him so much it hurts, she can’t bring herself to honestly say it.
With graduation and class reshuffles approaching, many people may find it hard to be as straightforward as this girl.
Why not listen to the song, sort out your feelings, and take the opportunity to share them this spring, a season of new beginnings?

A song written specifically as the theme for the NHK morning drama series “Hanako to Anne.” Spring is the season of encounters.
In a new environment, a romance might even begin.
The chorus melody lifts your spirits, and the lyrics feel like a warm embrace.
Listening to it will surely make you want to be close to someone.
spring breezeieiri reo
Sung by singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri, this track—evoking the feeling of spring air—is included on the album “TIME.” Its refreshing sound leaves a strong impression, as if expressing the gradual warmth that comes with the arrival of spring.
Amid that warm scenery, the bittersweet lyrics, which look back on memories with someone far away, resonate deeply alongside Ieiri’s straightforward, heartfelt vocals.
While depicting the sorrow of a broken heart, the song also conveys a gentle sense of hope that looks ahead.
scale (as of a fish or reptile)Hata Motohiro
This is Motohiro Hata’s second single, released on June 6, 2007.
As the lyrics say, it includes phrases that compare the singer to a fish and strongly expresses pure love.
The straightforward, honest words give me a push every time I listen to the song.
