Akane releases her new single “Chirinuru Haru no Yoi” on March 16, 2026. Lyrics by Naoto Matohara of under-graph. Music, arrangement and sound production by Koichi Shibata. Vocal: Ai Hisano Shakuhachi: Kizen Oyama Chorus: Koichi Shibata Guitar: Yusuke Abe (support member) Inspired by the classical phrase “Though the blossoms bloom in color, they inevitably fall,” this song delicately portrays love, loss, and quiet resilience. The ethereal tone of the shakuhachi intertwines with refined melodies, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary sound design. Even knowing that everything fades, we continue to bloom – holding unseen dreams close and embracing a broken spring. A fragile yet powerful ballad that blossoms in the twilight of spring.
