ZARD Season 2015.9.20 hills Bread Factory #2 ZARD Cover Band G-rand

It’s truly sad that I’ll never be able to hear that clear, beautiful voice live again.

ZARD’s songs feel familiar yet always offer new discoveries, and “SEASON” is a song that reflects on who I am now while watching students in their uniforms on a nostalgic route to school.

Even though it’s springKashiwabara Yoshie

Yoshie Kashiwabara - Haru na no ni (Even Though It's Spring)

It’s a classic old graduation song.

These days, fewer male students wear stand-collar uniforms, but in the past there was a kind of graduation-day custom where you’d ask for the second button from that uniform and confess your feelings.

Now that uniforms are mostly blazers, that kind of tradition may have become less common compared to the old days.

Here we go! Phantom Thief GirlMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

[Momoclo MV] Go for it! Phantom Thief Girl / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER / IKUZE! KAITOU SHOUJO)

When the school chime rings, they cast off their uniforms and transform into weekend heroines! Released in May 2010, this is Momoiro Clover Z’s major-label debut single.

As “phantom thieves” who steal listeners’ hearts, it carries a powerful message about lighting up the world with smiles and song.

Their focus on invisible treasures—like the bond with fans—over what’s merely visible fills you with courage.

The track was also used as the opening theme for TBS’s “Rank Kingdom.” Give it your all with your friends at a school festival or event, and it’s sure to become an unforgettable memory!

Back in the Showa era, being a bus girl was a job many women admired.

Air travel wasn’t as common as it is today, so becoming a cabin attendant didn’t feel like a realistic option.

Bus girls in their uniforms must have looked very cool.

Nana Okada, schoolgirl — August 25, 1975

Debuting in 1974, Nana Okada flourished as a classic pure idol.

The lyrics of this song sing about the kind of small secret anyone might experience during their school days, and there were many men who wished to be loved by a cute girl like Nana Okada.

Da Capo: The Oath of the Second Buttonyozuka*

Da Capo ~ The Oath of the Second Button ~ (with full lyrics) yozuca* ~Da Capo~ D.C. OP

In the opening theme of the PC game “D.C.

~Da Capo~,” a boy has long harbored a crush on a girl.

What’s moving is that, ever since the time they first wore their brand-new school uniforms, he’d never been able to confess his feelings—but on graduation day, he finally told her, and his wish came true.

The last spring breakhaifaisetto

Saigo No Haruyasumi

Written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya (a.k.a.

Yuming), this song is one of the tracks on the 1979 release “OLIVE,” and it was also provided to the band Hi-Fi Set.

It portrays a page from adolescence: the boy she had a crush on and she shared the same school uniform, but after graduation they go their separate ways—she believes he won’t even remember her anymore.
