As a song you’ll want to listen to with the arrival of spring, I recommend “Harudonari” by Keina Suda.

Taiwan cherryren
Ren is a singer-songwriter whose emotional vocals are especially popular among younger listeners.
This song, “Hikan-zakura,” is a number that sings of a powerful love for someone and the heartbreak of that love not being returned.
The hikan-zakura is the earliest-blooming cherry blossom, reaching its peak from February to March.
Seeing cherry blossoms in the still-chilly season makes you feel the arrival of spring while also evoking a certain sadness.
The way hikan-zakura blossoms hang facing downward also seems to mirror the downcast feelings and troubled state expressed in the lyrics.

Released in 2002, this single was used as the theme song for the drama “Nurseman,” starring band member Masahiro Matsuoka.
Its lively, upbeat sound—distinctive of the band—makes it a perfect track for the celebratory graduation season.

Their 2021 release “Tabidachi no Mae ni” (“Before the Departure”) was chosen as the theme song for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks’ “Fight! Kyushu.” The three-piece band’s performance, infused with power pop and punk vibes, is thrilling.
It’s packed with words of encouragement for anyone facing worries.
