Hirari to Sakura, sung by Snow Man, is a cherry blossom song that was first unveiled in 2019 during the stage production Takizawa Kabuki ZERO, before their CD debut.
On stage, the members danced amid a flurry of cherry blossoms, creating a dreamlike spectacle.
Contrary to the usual delicate and fleeting image of sakura, this song evokes cherry blossoms that remain noble and strong even as they fall.
Like blossoms that bloom grandly and scatter with grace, it inspires a strong will to keep moving forward and to embark on a fresh start in spring.

The sense of anticipation for the future beneath a blue sky, and the joy of being in love, resonate deeply alongside her clear, transparent voice.
Released in January 1981, this piece was born from producer Muneo Wakamatsu’s challenge to explore new music.

It is a gentle companion for anyone who holds close the longing of waiting and the poignancy of an unfulfilled love.
rose flowerkururi
What flowers come to mind when you think of blossoms in May, early summer? For me, roses come to mind first.
Roses are actually the flower with the most varieties in the world.
Speaking of roses, there’s “Bara no Hana” by Quruli, a band from Kyoto.
The song is filled with the fragility of a rose shedding its petals one by one.
The sparse lyrics, which evoke memories of past romance, are also brilliant.
“Bara no Hana” is more than just a ‘song’! The music video, filmed at a beach and a lighthouse in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, is rich with unspoken nuance.

Winter FlowerHiroji Miyamoto
Fuyu no Hana (Winter Flower) is Hiroji Miyamoto’s solo debut song, chosen as the theme song for the drama Gosaigyō.
With a grand melody adorned by stately strings, it culminates in a kayōkyoku-style number that’s completely different from the work of his rock band, Elephant Kashimashi.
While retaining his raw, emotion-baring vocal style, Miyamoto unleashes a new allure heightened by deeper pathos and poignancy.
Flowers will bloom.Rio Suzuki
Hana wa Saku (Flowers Will Bloom) is a charity song to support the recovery of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the people impacted by the disaster.
It was planned and produced as the theme song for a support project that NHK has been running since 2011.
The clear, pure voices of Rio Suzuki—who played the young Yae in the historical drama Yae no Sakura—and the children of the Ono Elementary School Choir in Okuma, Futaba District, Fukushima Prefecture, seem to deeply touch the heart.
