Jpop Recommend #485 Aoi Haru by back number

青い春

back number


Released in November 2012, this is the band's 7th single.  
Among many of their hit songs, this is the first song I listened and liked.

"春,  Haru" means spring and "青, Ao" means blue.  The title means blue spring but it has another meaning.  When those two words were combined, it becomes "青春 Seishun" which means puberty, springtime of life.

The lyrics talks about the struggles for glorious future.  I think this is a cheer-up song for the youth.

If you like this song, please try their other songs like:

Contrary to the title, this is a sad "失恋, heart-broken love" song

Perfect song to end the year
