Hikaru Utada’s “SAKURA Drops,” released in 2002, is a song that also served as the theme for a drama of the same name.

While springtime cherry blossoms often make us feel light and excited, the blossoms at night or as they fall can evoke a sense of melancholy and leave us feeling sentimental.

This song perfectly matches those emotions—an ideal number to listen to while gazing up at the cherry blossoms at night.

The theme is love; at first you might think it’s about romance in cherry blossom season.

But if you listen closely, the lyrics also prompt reflection on how our feelings change over the course of a year and on the way we live.

Pay attention to those words.
