When spring comesmiwa
When spring arrives, you really feel that the seasons have come full circle, and your determination and excitement for the year ahead rise as well.
This is a song by miwa that gently stays close to those emotions tied to a new season and gives you a strong push forward.
It gives the impression of a band sound centered on acoustic guitar, conveying a positive energy that steadily lifts your spirits.
While looking back on memories and feelings of love built up within oneself, it also portrays the anxiety of time passing without being able to express those feelings.
As the song progresses, it seems to gradually gain momentum, evoking the image of emotions growing larger and a sense of resolve to take a step forward.

Seiji Kameda handled the arrangement, resulting in a moving finish.
It truly evokes the beauty of the changing seasons, so it’s highly recommended to listen while taking a stroll along cherry blossom-lined streets.

Cherry blossoms scattering with the sudden thunder of spring.

It’s a recommended piece for those who want to welcome the arrival of spring while reflecting on someone dear.
