Recommended for cherry-blossom viewing season! Classic sakura songs and spring tunes

Cherry Blossom MoonSakurazaka46

Sakurazaka46 'Sakuzuki'

Sakurazaka46, whose group name also includes the word “sakura,” released Sakurazuki in 2023, a song about a heartbreaking farewell.

Its beautiful melody, which conjures up the fleeting scene of cherry blossoms scattering, heightens the song’s sadness.

It portrays a parting at graduation: someone dear goes far away, yet they separate without ever expressing their desire not to be apart—or their love.

Like the short life of cherry blossoms, the song evokes memories of youth that pass in an instant and bittersweet feelings, while conveying a wish to live with the strength and dignity of the sakura.
