Spring Song Medley. Best Classic Songs to Listen to in Spring (1–10)
Spring Dayaimyon
The love story that begins on the everyday setting of a train platform is striking.
Aimyon portrays the relationship between the married couple Hiroshi and Misae with a warm perspective, gently singing about how their family grows over time.
Layering past memories with the ones yet to be made, this work resonates as a story of deepening family bonds.
Written as the theme song for the April 2019 animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane – The Lost Hiroshi, it was also included on the album Heard There’s Delicious Pasta.
It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to those embarking on a new beginning with the arrival of spring, and to anyone who wants to reflect on the bonds they share with their loved ones.
SAKURAikimonogakari
It’s a celebrated song that gently paints a serene spring landscape.
Released as Ikimono-gakari’s debut single in March 2006, it delicately captures the arrival of spring and the subtleties of the heart.
The lyrics evoke local Kanagawa scenes such as the Sagami River and the Odakyu Line, while the melodic composition and Kiyoe Yoshioka’s clear, transparent vocals leave a striking impression.
It was featured in NTT East’s “DENPO115” commercial and later used in 2021 for McDonald’s Teritama Burger ad.
This is a song that accompanies the spring season of graduations, farewells, and new beginnings.
It’s perfect for a spring drive or stroll when you want to feel calm and at ease.
Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
As the warm spring approaches, don’t you also feel a growing, positive urge to try something new? This is the debut song of Takako Matsu as a singer, one that seems to portray resolutions and bright emotions tied to the arrival of spring.
Both the sound and her voice convey a gentle calmness, making the positive feelings come through directly.
While looking back on past memories, it evokes a strong determination to take a step forward, a song that feels like it is steadily gathering energy.

spring thunderYonezu Kenshi
In spring, many people move on to new environments, and I think many of them find new love there.
This song uses skillful wording to portray the feelings of a man who envies a captivating woman.
The lyrics are densely packed into a fast tempo, so you probably won’t grasp what the song is about after just one listen; I recommend playing it a few times.
If you’ve found a new love in a new place, why not nurse your crush while reflecting on the literary lyrics crafted by Kenshi Yonezu?
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama is a singer-songwriter who, in addition to his work as an actor, has written many songs for various artists.
His 2000 release “Sakurazaka” was selected as the theme song for TBS’s “Uunnan no Hontoko! Mirai Nikki V.” It’s a song filled with the gentleness and warmth of healing music.
Its soft melody line stays within a steady vocal range, giving listeners a sense of reassurance.
The lyrics overflow with feelings for a lover with whom things didn’t work out, making them impossible not to relate to.
It’s a spring song that gently wraps around hearts that feel pain and loneliness.
Winter and Springback number
As a beautiful yet heartrending breakup song, this track is quintessential back number.
Like a scene from a film, it portrays a woman’s pain of heartbreak and her process of moving on.
Released in January 2024, it was produced by Masanori Shimada, and in the music video, Iyori Shimizu took on his first directing role.
The song delicately depicts the pain of a breakup—led astray by a fleeting illusion like snow resting on withered branches—and a woman’s emotions as she faces her true feelings with the arrival of spring.
It’s recommended for those who can relate to the feelings of dreaming of a fairy tale–like romance only to meet a different ending in reality, or for listeners who want something to accompany the changing seasons.
Song of Springsupittsu
Spitz is a rock band known for their transparent vocals and emotional sound.
Their 2005 release “Haru no Uta” is a song that evokes the freshness of spring’s arrival.
The sound, which opens with simple acoustic guitar strumming, makes you want to listen at the start of a new chapter in life.
Particularly striking is Masamune Kusano’s high-toned voice in the chorus.
His clear, soothing vocals lighten the heart.
The lyrics also stand out for encouraging you to “try anything!” Give it a listen on a bright, sunny spring day.
