春なのに Haru nanoni
柏原 芳恵 Yoshie Kashiwabara
Released in January, 1983. This is her 12th single.
It was written by 中島 みゆき Miyuki Nakajima.
In Japan, March is the time for graduation and this song is a classic popular spring song and farewell song singing about the graduation. Giving a second button of the school uniform means a love confession. So in this lyrics, a girl is asking for the senior (先輩, senpai) to give her a button as a token of love.
Due to COVID-19, many schools are still closed and graduation ceremonies have been cancelled. I pity for the graduates but also those who who wanted to say the last good-bye to their seniors will miss their chance for the lifetime.
I hope things will get back to normal soon... Stay healthy, everyone!
