Four high school students from different regions come to Tokyo to take university entrance exams, coinciding with a march by progressives to abolish the conservatives' "National Foundation Day," leading to a clash of generational ideas. The four students develop intense sexual desires while chasing girls. During a meal with Teacher Ohtake, other customers sing military songs while Ohtake sings a spring song. That night, Ohtake commits suicide, and Nakamura happens to see it but doesn't intervene; instead, he sings "A Commoner is Born." On the night of Ohtake's wake, the group of high school students sings the spring song in remembrance of him. The next day, the four students escort a girl home, fantasizing about raping them, and another girl, Kinda, joins them, singing the spring song. When the bourgeois girl, Meiko, holds an anti-war folk music gathering, Kinda, Nakamura, and others attend, leading to a grand battle between folk songs and spring songs. When Nakamura tells Meiko that he has fantasized about raping them, Meiko accepts the challenge. They all gather in a big classroom for the exam, with the boys singing the spring song and rushing toward Meiko. Japanese Spring Song is regarded by some critics as a symbol of enlightening the masses, singing fantasies, and escaping a painful life. The spring song and the indulgent desire-related scenes in the film carry the lingering echoes of post-war democratic thought. The new generation's methods of rebellion follow the rules of personal desire and have an anarchistic tint. Like the American hippie movement, Japanese youth also use "sex" as a weapon to attack their conservative elders, with the spring song being one of the means. However, just as in real life, this blind rebellion does not lead to substantive social change, as evidenced by the surrealistic rape at the film's end, reflecting the bewildered and illusory mindset of this generation.
