Yumi Matsutoya – Come, Spring

Yumi Matsutoya’s 26th single, released in October 1994.

It was unveiled as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series of the same title.

While many of Yuming’s songs from the ’90s onward feature somewhat eccentric melodic developments, this piece is crafted with a melody reminiscent of Showa-era children’s songs and school tunes, making it very approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s also popular as a graduation song, so many people may have sung it at their graduation ceremonies.

Overall, if you relax and sing with a gentle touch, it should come together nicely.
