Song of SpringFujihara Sakura

Sakura Fujiwara – “Spring Song” Live at Bunkamura Orchard Hall 2017

From the title Spring Song, you might picture something sparkly, poppy, and bright, but this track is weighty from the very first note—its strength presses down on your heart.

It’s the theme song for the second part of the film March Comes in Like a Lion, a cover of the original sung by Spitz.

It’s striking how completely the impression changes when a woman sings it.

This is a moving, tear-inducing number that pierces the hearts of those who have been striving toward something for a long time.
