Waiting for springWANIMA

WANIMA is popular for their many cheer songs and fiery, high-energy tracks.
Their song “Waiting for Spring” was released urgently in March 2020, and it’s a number packed with the feelings they wanted to share on the tour that was canceled due to the pandemic.
Spring is likened to a warm, exhilarating mood, but before it comes, there’s the harsh cold of winter—and this song conveys, in classic WANIMA style, the strength to overcome that hardship and the pain along the way.
It’s a track whose strong, straightforward emotion becomes a source of energy.
petalback number

When the cherry blossom season arrives, just seeing those pink petals makes your heart flutter, doesn’t it? I think that gentle, delicate color brings out that feeling.
But this song, “Hanabira” (Petals), evokes the opposite—a slightly sad emotion.
Happy memories and the season when petals dance in the air turn into sorrow once that love ends.
And when you see the cherry blossom petals, you remember that love, and your chest gives a little ache.
It’s a love song about lingering attachment—the feeling of not being able to forget that person, that romance.

It’s included on their 2008 mini-album “Unreal.” It’s a poignant love song that expresses feelings for a lover with whom they became separated despite still being in love.
Before the cherry blossoms bloomkinoko teikoku

A poignant song that portrays spring just before the cherry blossoms bloom.
The lyrics, which sing of the resolve to set out on a journey to fulfill one’s dreams, strike a chord.
Under the starry sky, the delicate expression of hope and anxiety for the future intertwines, stirring the listener’s heart.
Released in November 2015, this work became Kinoko Teikoku’s major-label debut 1st single.
Chiaki Sato’s clear, transparent vocals blend beautifully with the band’s distinctive sound.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those about to start a new chapter in life or those who have experienced parting with someone dear.

On the Day of DepartureKawashima Ai

This is a song by Ai Kawashima filled with memories of the treasured days we spent together and gratitude toward the friends who supported me.
Many listeners may find themselves on the verge of tears, moved by her gentle, delicate voice and the stirring sound of the piano.

Still, believing that moving forward from here will surely become the catalyst for our own growth, it would be wonderful if we could part with smiles, promise to meet again, and look ahead.
