cherry blossomDA PUMP
The single released after the smash hit “U.S.A.”—which took the world by storm and swept every award—was this song, “Sakura.” Until “Sakura” came out, all of DA PUMP’s single titles were written in English, except for their 21st single, “Mune Kogasu…”.
That alone shows how much the members poured into this track.
The lyrics, with a spirit like “living with the heart of the cherry blossom—symbolic of the Japanese soul—close to your chest,” are staunch and evocative of the ancient Yamato spirit.
You can almost see cherry blossom petals glowing translucently in the light of a lantern.
The lyrics are also sprinkled with words that evoke quintessential Japan, making them poetically beautiful.
