One-room DiscoPerfume
When spring comes, many people start living on their own as they advance to a new school or start a new job.
For anyone beginning their first solo life, I’d love for you to listen to one of Perfume’s signature songs, “One Room Disco.” Its lyrics are themed around starting a new life in a new place, and there’s so much in the imagery that I think many can relate to.
As you listen, the anxieties about your new life seem to melt away, and a growing sense of excitement begins to take hold!
Song of BeginningsOhashi Takuya
This is a solo single by Takuya Ohashi, the vocalist of Sukima Switch, that sings about the importance of believing in yourself and continuing to move forward.
The lyrics—“Nothing begins if you just hold on to your anxiety and fear of failure; even if it doesn’t show in the results, the act of trying itself has great value”—give courage to people who, as spring arrives, are about to take a first step in a new place.
Without the accumulation of small steps, you can’t achieve great success.
With courage from this song, why not stop worrying about what others think, face yourself, and take the plunge to challenge something new?

spring skySuzuki Suzuki
This is a song by the sibling duo Suzuki Suzuki, written around the theme of graduation.
Under the spring sky, it depicts students who are about to graduate expressing their gratitude to one another and promising to meet again.
The music video featuring YouTubers also became a hot topic for being “full of youthfulness.” Spring is a season of encounters and farewells; graduation may be sad, but it’s precisely because we have milestones that we can take a big step forward.
On graduation day, let’s savor the farewells to the fullest, express our gratitude completely, and move ahead so we can reunite having grown.

With their rich vocals blending seamlessly, the song is a gem that seems to sonically paint the very scenes of spring.
Makihara’s melody and lyrics, paired with Hirokazu Ogura’s gently expressive guitar arrangement, are exquisite.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when early spring leaves you unsettled, or when nostalgia and hope set your heart trembling.
