[Spring Love Songs] Recommended Masterpieces and Popular Love Songs to Listen to During Cherry Blossom Season (61–70)
cherry blossomKobukuro
This is Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in 2005, and it served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ns’ Aoi.” It’s a famous masterpiece that has become one of the quintessential “sakura songs,” even being included in a high school Japanese textbook.
While the song invites various interpretations, its theme of thinking about someone special makes it perfect for lovers who care deeply for each other.
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.
Poem of Cherry BlossomsKANA-BOON
“Sakura no Shi” is an answer song to KANA-BOON’s indie-era classic “Sakura no Uta.” While “Sakura no Uta” is written from a male perspective, this one unfolds its lyrics from a female point of view.
Both songs are heartbreakingly about yearning for someone they can no longer meet, but “Sakura no Shi” conveys a more delicate emotional nuance, perhaps because it’s told from a woman’s perspective.
Listening to both reveals that their feelings were mutual, yet precisely because it was a love that ended without being confessed, it may be as fleeting and beautiful as cherry blossoms.
springreGretGirl
Spring is a song that captures a man’s feelings as he can’t forget his ex-lover.
It was released in 2020 by the rock band reGretGirl, also known for their masterpiece Whiteout, which portrays a man being broken up with.
The track is also included on their 2021 full-length album Curtain Call.
The lyric “You can forget about me” feels heartbreaking if you take it as the bravado of a man still hung up on his ex, but it could also be read as words spoken for her sake.
Sakura super loveSanīdēi Sābisu
Even though they’re not right in front of me, I can’t help feeling like they’re still here…
Sunny Day Service’s “Sakura super love” keeps chasing the image of a beloved person that lingers in the heart.
Included on the 2016 album “DANCE TO YOU,” the song was released as a single the following year.
It depicts someone who seems to be enjoying their newfound freedom alone, yet still clings to the hope that the person they love might be by their side—that lingering attachment is strong.
Like cherry blossom petals riding the wind, maybe that special someone will drift back to me… It carries a wish for such a reunion.
Spring-colored airmailMatsumoto Noriko
A heart-fluttering seasonal song you’ll want to listen to with the arrival of spring.
It’s a message song that expresses feelings for a lover far away, featuring a brisk melody and refreshingly clear vocals.
Released in March 1985, it drew attention as Noriko Matsumoto’s major-label debut single.
It became a hot topic, winning the Diamond Award for Best New Artist at the 4th Megalopolis Kayō Festival.
It’s recommended not only for those in long-distance relationships, but also for anyone who wants to feel the beginning of spring.
Why not let your heart flutter with the coming of a new season as you listen to this track?
apple pieRyukku to soine gohan
If you’re looking for a spring song that you’ll want to listen to in the spring breeze, I recommend this one! “Apple Pie,” included on Ryoku to Soiné Gohan’s 2022 album Shiki (Four Seasons).
The lyrics, written from a male perspective, evoke the everyday life of a wholesome couple.
You can’t help but think it was written for his girlfriend, and the melody is so easy on the ears.
It’s soft and fluffy yet still vows eternal love, which is totally heart-fluttering.
It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so it might be nice to try singing it for a woman you like or for your girlfriend.
