Released in June 2023, the song served as the opening theme for the TV anime MIX MEISEI STORY: The Second Summer, Beyond the Sky.

It’s a perfect spring song by Drama Store, featuring a piano tone that carries warm light and a touch of loneliness.
It captures the bittersweet sadness of farewells that come with graduation and moving on, and the anticipation for the new life ahead.
Those sweet-and-sour feelings everyone knows ride on a marching rhythm and gently resonate in the heart.
The track is included on their first full album, DRAMA STORE, released in April 2019.
It would be perfect as BGM for Instagram Stories—scenes under cherry blossom-lined streets or on the day of departure.
An inspiring pop number that gives you a gentle push forward.
Sakura, You, and Ituki.
This is the third single by singer-songwriter tuki., who has gained popularity for her delicate, emotional lyrics and simple yet powerful melodies.
Her clear voice over gentle acoustic guitar lines shows a level of expression you wouldn’t expect from someone who created it at just fifteen.

On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon
There’s no real reason for wanting to see the person you like, is there? This song captures that bittersweet, aching feeling of love that arrives with the coming of spring.
Written by singer-songwriter Aimyon, it was released in February 2021 and drew attention as the theme song for the dating reality show “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai” (Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf of Love).
In contrast to the beautiful imagery of fluttering cherry blossoms, it honestly conveys, from a girl’s perspective, the anxiety of possibly growing apart from someone and the loneliness of entering a new environment.
The light, breezy melody only heightens that sense of poignancy.
Pair it with Instagram stories featuring cherry blossom scenes or use it as background music for a spring outing to create an emotional atmosphere.
Heralding springyama
A signature track by yama, featuring a crisp beat and a modern arrangement that makes you want to move—an ear-catching standout.
Released in April 2020 as yama’s first original work under that name, it gained popularity primarily on social media despite having no specific tie-in.
The production background also drew attention: the song was completed entirely through online exchanges without yama ever meeting Kujira, the Vocaloid producer who wrote the lyrics and music.
Contrary to its bright sound, the song portrays loneliness tucked away in the corners of the city and a heart wavering between ideals and reality.
It’s a song that resonates with many, reflecting not only the sense of anticipation in spring but also the anxieties that come with a new environment.

It’s a hopeful song that vividly evokes the clear air after the rain.
By comparing life’s trials and sorrows to rain and the hope beyond them to a break in the clouds, it carries a powerful message that there is always light waiting after you overcome any hardship.
Released by Yorushika in January 2024, this track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Suis’s transparent, radiant vocals ride over a sound that fuses electronica and rock, resonating deeply with listeners.
In spring, when new beginnings bring a touch of anxiety, listening to it might gently nudge you forward.
It’s the perfect number to accompany a video of walking beneath cherry blossom-lined streets or a story about embarking on a new challenge!
One-room DiscoPerfume
This is a Perfume track themed around starting a new life in spring.
In a brand-new apartment right after moving, feelings of excitement mixed with a touch of anxiety.
Those bittersweet emotions are expressed over sparkling synth-pop.
The song not only captures the exhilarating sense that a lonely room has turned into a dance floor, but also gives you strength through the fleeting pangs of wistfulness you feel in quiet moments.
Released in March 2009, it was later included on the classic album “⊿ (Triangle).” A new life is exciting, but it can feel a little lonely too, right? This song gently stays by your side in those moments.
How about using it as BGM for an Instagram Story featuring cherry blossom-lined streets or your new place?
