Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Cherry blossom songs recommended for women: Beautiful spring masterpieces and popular tracks (21–30)

cherry blossomDA PUMP

DA PUMP / Sakura MV+SPOT (short ver.)

Sakura DA PUMP

DA PUMP became a household name nationwide thanks to the massive 2018 hit single “U.

S.

A.” The song released after “U.

S.

A.” was this track, “Sakura.” In sharp contrast to its predecessor, it’s a heartfelt number with a gentle, mellow melody that showcases vocalist ISSA’s impressive voice, resonating deeply.

Beyond the melody, the lyrics are richly infused with traditional Japanese elements, evoking a distinctly Japanese spring.

The word “fabulous,” which serves as a key motif in the song, also became a talking point.

SAKURAIkimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari “SAKURA” Music Video

SAKURA Ikimonogakari

Ikimonogakari’s debut single, released in 2006.

It brings back nostalgic memories of their stories on music shows—like how they were asked in every interview, “Is your artist name really Ikimonogakari?” This song ranks among their most frequently charting tracks, alongside “Arigatou” and “YELL/Joyful,” and remains a long-loved favorite.

I wonder how many women relate their own experiences to the lyric, “When the cherry blossom season comes, I think of you.” The music video is excellent too, featuring vocalist Yoshioka’s boyish charm with her very short haircut and cool pants look.

It’s a song that digs up listeners’ memories.

And be sure to check out the B-side, “Sotsugyo Shashin,” as well!

Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Spring Thief - Yorushika

Both the lyrics and the sound pierce deep into my heart.

This is a song by Yorushika, a band formed by n-buna, a popular composer also known as a Vocaloid producer, and the vocalist suis, released in 2021.

The guitar arpeggios and the softly resonant piano tone really sink in.

And the chorus is incredibly emotional—your heart is shaken to its core.

The song was created around the theme of “life,” so I encourage you to think about what the lyrics mean.

The title is a hint, too.

Formed by classmates from their high school days, the duo Yoshida Yamada began their full-fledged music career after a training stint in New York before their debut.

Their 13th single, “Sakura Sake,” used as the ending theme for the TV anime Hinomaru Sumo, stirs the heart with their trademark beautiful harmonies and a clear, transparent ensemble.

The lyrics evoke images of striving toward one’s dreams, which seems to resonate with the spring atmosphere—a season when many people embark on new beginnings.
