Norimasa Fujisawa, who sings “Sakura no Uta,” was born into a musical family: his father was a vocal artist and his mother was an instructor at a singing school.

It’s said that his classmate was none other than Hiroyuki Ehara.

He dreams of singing at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, and we hope he makes it happen.

Sakura No Uta

Released in 2016, “Sakura no Uta” is Yu Takahashi’s 13th major-label single.

I’ve heard that Takahashi’s father is a folk singer, which may have sparked his interest in music.

Incidentally, he also served as student council president in junior high school.

A dramatic song by Rira Ikuta that paints a vividly colored future beyond hardship.

The melody, infused with traditional Japanese elements, blends beautifully with the grand sound.

Her translucent vocals and powerful beat deftly express the protagonist’s inner strength and delicate emotions.

It’s a song not only for anime fans, but one to hear when you’re at a crossroads or feeling lost.

It will surely awaken the courage sleeping in your heart.
