This is Funky Monkey Babys’ 10th single, released in 2009.
Their signature song “Lovin’ Life” is also a spring song, with a fresh and light feel.
In contrast, “Sakura” offers a sense of comfort with its steady rhythm, and the simple vocals really resonate with the heart.
At first it may seem melancholic, but I feel it carries a positive strength—the wish to always stay with someone you cherish and the determination for the two of you to build your future together.
It’s also beloved as a graduation song.
Spring GoesAimer
As the theme song for the theatrical film Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel] III.
spring song, I think it offers new discoveries and evokes emotions distinct from the first and second theme songs, which were also by Aimer.
It portrays the feelings of Sakura Matou, who appears in the film, and is a ballad overflowing with a tender, ephemeral atmosphere.
It makes you reflect on the passage of time and feel that, with you by my side, I can be reborn.
Isn’t it a song that inspires such feelings?
forget-me-notAwesome City Club
Awesome City Club is a three-piece band that evokes music across genres like city pop and R&B.
Their 2021 release “Wasurena” was chosen as the inspire-song for the film We Made a Beautiful Bouquet.
A simple, beautiful melody line is brought to life by male–female twin vocals.
Packed with ideas in its strings and sound effects, it’s also recommended for fans of alternative rock.
An emotional choral arrangement makes this a moving spring ballad that really strikes a chord.
Cherry blossoms in full, resplendent bloomKEYTALK
Spring is strongly associated with the beginning of a new season, and many people start something new in a new environment.
There may be anxiety and worries, but at the same time, many of us are overflowing with excitement for a fresh start.
For those people, I highly recommend KEYTALK’s “Ouka Ranman.” It’s a track that lifts your spirits and fires you up just by listening to it! It’s a lively spring song with a cheerful vibe that I want people to hear when they want to shake off their anxieties and take on challenges with a positive mindset.

It’s a beautiful, lyrical piece that captures the scene of cherry blossoms soaring into the air.
Elephant Kashimashi breathes new life into songs about sakura, delivering a positive and powerful message.
Its delicate yet grand worldview sings of life’s renewal and hope for the future alongside the changing seasons.
