● Sakura ● Cherry Blossom ● さくら

Written By resonance mcm

Pronounced “SAH-koo-rah,” Sakura is a popular traditional Japanese folk song about springtime and the blooming of the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom. The melody most likely originated during the Edo era (1603-1868), while the lyrics were added in the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The song is based upon the pentatonic (five-note) scale E-F-A-B-C.
