[Spring Love Songs] Recommended timeless tracks and popular love songs to listen to during cherry blossom season (31–40)
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.
Trace OrionUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This is a song written specifically as the opening theme for the anime TIGER & BUNNY.
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN released it in 2011.
The lyrics are obscure and don’t contain any spring-like phrases, but the exhilarating melody makes you want to listen to it in spring.
And if you listen closely, there are hints of romance tucked into the words, aren’t there? New life, new love—hearing it at times like these lifts your spirits and fills you with excitement.
If you’re looking to push yourself this spring, give it a listen!
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.
Peach Blossom PetalsOtsuka Ai
Like cherry blossoms, peach blossoms bloom adorably in spring, and Ai Otsuka’s “Momo no Hanabira” depicts someone thinking fondly of the person they love.
Released in 2003 as her debut single, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama Suika.
Whether it’s a rendezvous beneath peach or cherry trees, or reminiscing about a beloved person under those trees when spring arrives, the lyrics can be interpreted either way.
In any case, they overflow with a gentle feeling for someone dear, warming the heart like the mild cheerfulness of spring.
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
Released in 2000, Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature song “Sakurazaka” is almost always mentioned among cherry blossom-themed songs.
When you take a close look, the lyrics are remarkably simple, yet that very simplicity makes it all the more moving—a classic spring song imbued with the distinctive bittersweetness of the season of encounters and farewells.

Eagerly awaiting springGReeeeN
Even among fans, GReeeeN is said to have many hidden gems.
This song, a B-side to the 2012 single “Misenai Namida wa, Kitto Itsuka,” is also considered one of those hidden masterpieces.
It’s a love song perfect for the cherry blossom season, evoking a bittersweet feeling when thinking about meetings and farewells.
Sakura RockCHERRYBLOSSOM
CHERRYBLOSSOM is a band known for its appealing female dual vocals that unfortunately disbanded in 2010.
Their song “Sakura Rock” is their fourth single, released in 2009, and it was used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Katekyo Hitman Reborn!” The lyrics express how, when the cherry blossom season arrives, you think, “It’s that time of year again,” and remember someone.
That someone was once important but is no longer by your side.
It’s a cherry blossom song packed with a sense of poignancy, set to a rock-influenced sound.
