Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Cherry blossoms are such a popular flower in Japan that it’s no exaggeration to say they’re part of the Japanese spirit.

Because of that, many songs themed around cherry blossoms have been released, and it’s easy to name plenty of classic examples.

So, are there any famous cherry blossom songs in Western music?

There are well-known cherry blossom spots overseas too, like New York and Vancouver, but it seems there still aren’t that many songs with cherry blossoms as their theme.

In this article, we introduce not only songs that directly evoke cherry blossoms, but also pieces that don’t necessarily mention them in the lyrics.

You don’t see many articles with this kind of theme, and you might even make some unexpected discoveries you didn’t know before!

In conclusion

While researching the theme of “sakura songs” in Western music this time, I personally felt that the image of cherry blossoms for overseas artists may not be so different from that of Japanese people.

The sense of beginnings, the emotional beauty of petals falling… As you imagine the different visions of sakura that each artist holds, I hope you enjoy these Western songs about cherry blossoms!
