The multi-talented singer-songwriter Angela Aki’s spring song “Sakura-iro.” Released in 2007, it’s a song that overlays the cherry blossom scenery with the days she spent chasing her dreams in her second hometown, Washington.

The lyrics, written with thoughts of the person who supported her during those dream-chasing days, really strike a chord.

The beautiful expression “Sakura-iro” to describe a landscape blanketed in cherry blossoms is also wonderful.

It’s a piece I’d like to dedicate to those embarking on a fresh start toward their dreams this spring.
