Yorushika is a concept band where in each album, there would be a story. Spring Thief is part of a album called Creation which is linked to another album called Plagiarism. In this 2 albums the protagonist plagiarizes music and he his wife has also passed away. The story is much more complicated but I would not go into further. The reason why this song is titled Spring Thief is from how the composer compares the blooming life span of cherry blossoms to the Plagiarist's wife's lifespan. The thief is time, time slowly robs away the couple's time together. In addition, the Plagiarist's wife loved spring and Spring is the season where the Plagiarist strongly feels the presence of his wife. Just for trivia, both husband and wife are childhood friends, when he was young, the Plagiarist made the pencil case and gifted it to his wife. Some years later, the wife left town to the city to study and they met each other again at the piano hall. Listening to your theories, I did not expect someone with no knowledge of the story to be able to catch so many minor details in the mv and get close to the meaning of the song, really appreciate you reacting to this song!
I think your theory hit the nail because the man was sitting lamenting, but the woman couldn't touch him because she was dead, even the dog in the end didn't realize she was there and ignored her. and maybe we're wrong and it's the man who's dead or just went off with another woman.
My brain was popping off so many theories at the end there 😂😂😂
