Yuzu, the song “Sumire,” sung by real-life three brothers

Violetyuzu

Sumire by Yuzu, the folk duo that represents Japan.

The violet is a flower that blooms quietly and small, so much so that you might not even notice it blooming there.

It’s a strong flower that no one turns to look at, and even when it’s stepped on, it rises again.

In life, there are many sad and difficult things, but as long as you don’t let the roots of your heart wither, you can stand up again and again—just like a violet that has firmly taken root in the soil.
