[Spring Love Songs] Recommended Classics and Popular Love Songs to Listen to During Cherry Blossom Season

Poem of Cherry BlossomsKANA-BOON

KANA-BOON “Sakura no Uta” Music Video

“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.

reGretGirl “Spring” Official Music Video

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.

Sunny Day Service – Sakura Super Love [Official Video]

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.
