Song of DepartureMr.Children
Just hearing the story—that it was created with the hope that, when someone is lost in life, this song, and music itself, can become a compass pointing to tomorrow—is enough to move me to tears.
It’s a masterpiece by Mr.
Children.
Spring brings many moments of setting out.
In times of meeting and parting, and when you’re unsure of your path, give it a listen.

Many of you have probably heard it in the au LISMO commercials.
The string arrangement is fantastic and really fills you with excitement.
Actually, the most famous line—“Laugh, cry, sing, and become a flower”—isn’t the chorus; it’s the pre-chorus.
Sakura (2019)Moriyama Naotaro

In 2019, an arranged version was released as the theme song for the drama “Synchronized Sakura” (Doki no Sakura), which also drew attention.
The lyrics depict saying goodbye while pledging to meet again somewhere, overlapping with the image of graduates who, filled with hope, set out on their own paths.
It’s a moving and beautiful piece—a timeless masterpiece that will surely be sung for years to come.

A person who loves springGLAY
This song, “Haru o Aisuru Hito” (“One Who Loves Spring”), is included on the album BELOVED released in 1996.
While it takes spring as its theme, the song lets you feel all four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—expressing the emotions of each.
It’s a track that conveys unwavering love and heartfelt devotion in any season and any scene, and it’s highly popular among fans.
It’s the kind of warm, comforting song you’ll want to listen to as spring draws near.
March in AprilAwesome City Club
This song portrays a cute girl who admires adults all dolled up with beautiful makeup and fancy clothes, and who puzzles them by asking, “What’s so wrong about wearing makeup to school?” It highlights the strange rules of society: students aren’t allowed to wear makeup, while adults are expected to as a matter of etiquette.
Many people, upon entering high school, awaken to fashion and start taking an interest in makeup.
Social norms and school rules are certainly important, but it’s wonderful when changes in our environment spark curiosity and open the door to something new.
Blue Spring Etude feat. Haruko Nagaya (Ryokuoushoku Shakai)Toukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
Following Lila Ikuta on trumpet and Shinya Ishihara of Saucy Dog on tuba, Haruko Nagaya of Ryokuoushoku Shakai takes on the trombone in one of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s three-part series featuring wind players.
It’s a youth anthem that portrays tender first love and bittersweet emotions.
The exquisite harmony between Nagaya’s fresh, powerful vocals and Skapara’s ever-evolving, deep, burnished sound is irresistible.
The lyrics, which feel like they capture feelings that keep running on unfinished, carry a touch of spring melancholy, leaving a beautiful afterglow.
