[Spring Love Songs] Recommended timeless tracks and popular love songs to listen to during cherry blossom season (31–40)
forget-me-notAwesome City Club
Awesome City Club’s hit song “Wasurena” (勿忘), which also became a hot topic as the inspiration song for the film “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet,” starring Masaki Suda and Kasumi Arimura.
It feels like this track catapulted Awesome City Club into the spotlight.
Spring usually puts us in a buoyant mood as the weather finally warms up, yet many spring-themed songs are tinged with melancholy—and this song may well be one that embodies those feelings.
The male–female vocal interplay resonates all the more deeply.
CHE.R.RYYUI
YUI’s eighth single, released in 2007.
The tagline is “A spring song like a sweet-and-sour fruit.” If you’re a woman, you’ve probably heard it at least once, haven’t you? It portrays the feelings of a woman entrusting her thoughts for someone of the opposite sex to an email, and the melody is very cute.
It’s perfect for spring, isn’t it?
cherry blossomMoriyama Naotaro
A classic sakura-themed song and also known as a graduation song, “Sakura.” Released in 2003, it is said that Naotaro Moriyama wrote this song when a friend of his was getting married.
You can feel his wish to celebrate his friend’s new beginning through the lyrics.
While it may strongly come across as a friendship song, listening to it at graduation can also make it sound like a longing to see again the person you couldn’t confess your feelings to.
Whether as a love song or a friendship song, try listening to it while layering it with the feelings that fit your own heart.
10-year cherry blossomsAKB48
A heartwarming AKB48 song that accompanies the season of graduations and farewells.
Its lyrics, depicting friends vowing to reunite in ten years, beautifully capture the universal loneliness of parting and the hope for the future.
Released in March 2009, the track became the group’s first to reach the Oricon Top 3.
It’s a gentle push for those taking a new step with the arrival of spring, and is also recommended as background music for send-offs and graduation ceremonies.
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
A song overflowing with affection and sweet words to the max.
ONE OK ROCK’s “Wherever You Are” is a globally recognized track—partly because it was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
Blending English and Japanese lyrics, it’s a signature love ballad and one of their standout love songs.
I highly recommend listening while reading the Japanese translation; it conveys feelings like a proposal.
It’s a classic love song I’d love to recommend.

Become a flowerflumpool
Hana ni Nare is a download-only single that marked flumpool’s major-label debut.
It was used as the campaign song for au KDDI’s “LISMO” and “PAINT IT MUSIC!” commercials.
The song conveys the feeling of reexamining who you are now and wanting to shine, even if only for a moment.
All the more when it comes to someone you love, you want to be someone you can be proud of, don’t you?
March of the PetalsAimer
A song that sings of unspoken love, “March of the Petals.” It was released in 2019 as a single by Aimer.
The music video stars Mirei Sasaki from Hinatazaka46.
The lyrics are filled with school-related words, making it perfect for students.
It’s a slightly bittersweet track about spring graduation and parting ways, but the feelings of love and the wish for the other person’s happiness really resonate.
It’s a love song you’ll want to listen to while looking at cherry blossoms and thinking of someone you can’t forget.
