Spring Song Medley: Best Classic Tracks to Listen to in Spring (71–80)
cherry blossom rainJUJU
Released on February 24, 2010.
Unusually for a cherry blossom–themed song, it weaves in “rain.” The piano melody sounds like raindrops falling one by one, and the lyrics say “don’t let it stop raining,” conjuring an image of a slightly chilly spring evening on the way home after a breakup.
A single petal of cherry blossomMISIA
MISIA’s cherry blossom song evokes the breath of spring.
Centered on sakura, a symbol of Japan, this piece was released in February 2015 as the theme song for the TV Tokyo drama special “The Eternal Zero.” The lyrics, written by MISIA herself, carry a wish for peace and deliver a powerful message that resonates closely with listeners’ hearts.
While depicting how a single petal dancing on the wind carries memories of the past and bittersweet feelings, the song also gives courage to step forward toward the future.
It’s a perfect companion for a springtime walk that heralds the start of a new season.
Spring of LifePerfume
Perfume has now become a national-level artist.
Their perfectly synchronized performances are always breathtaking to watch! “Spring of Life” is the first track released under their new label “Perfume Records,” established within Universal Music.
As always, the song was written and composed by Yasutaka Nakata, and it’s a bright technopop tune that makes you look forward to spring.
It was also featured in the commercial for Kirin Chu-Hi ‘Hyoketsu,’ so the fizzy carbonation syncs with the lyrics, making it a song that lifts your spirits.
Sakura MitsutsukiSPYAIR
It’s a rock number released by SPYAIR in 2013.
Many of you might also recognize it as an opening theme for the anime Gintama.
The driving bass and guitar riffs intertwine with vocalist IKE’s emotional singing to create something truly beautiful.
While depicting the world of the anime, it also seems to capture a uniquely Japanese sense of elegance.
Encounters and farewells in spring, days spent moving forward to reclaim what was lost.
It’s a song that gives you the positive strength to believe that the moment of sakura blooming will come someday!
After the cherry blossoms (all quartets lead to the?)UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s eighth single and the opening theme for the anime Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta.
It’s a song full of signature UNISON-style punch and frequent shifts, with an invigorating drive and freshness that make you feel positive about a new life or a budding romance.
Cherry tree-lined roadWhiteberry
Their fifth single.
It’s the first single they wrote and composed themselves, so you can really feel their personal attachment to it.
It was also used in a “Mitsuya Cider” commercial, giving it a refreshing feel—a springlike song with a sense of brisk momentum.
Days of LemonWurtS
It’s a song that gently stays by your heart like a refreshing spring breeze.
WurtS’s delicate vocals beautifully capture both the hope of a new beginning and the poignancy of farewell.
Released in December 2021, this track is included on the first album “Once Upon a Revival.” The vocals—marked by edgy low tones and expressive falsetto—leave a strong impression, while the sound, infused with pop-rock elements, resonates pleasantly.
It’s perfect for those starting a new chapter in life or for anyone who has experienced a heartfelt goodbye.
As spring’s warmth arrives, why not take a new step forward while listening to this song?
