kenleewrites in 日本

It’s Sakura season again! Was watching a “Good Morning Japan” program on TV the other day and according to them and the nameless people on the street they surveyed, these are the top 3 sakura songs… ever, as of March 2009.

Number 3 is 桜坂 (Sakurazaka) by 福山雅治.

Number 2 is さくら by ケツメイシ. This is one of my favourites though. Nice catchy happy tune. ^^. Popular actor Hagiwara Masato (萩原聖人) and actress Suzuki Emi (鈴木えみ) are in the video. This was my number 1 pick. A little shocked that it didn’t get the top spot. ^^.

Number 1 is さくら by 森山直太朗. Didn’t know this song. Wondered why it took the top spot. After listening to it a few times, it’s pretty good. It grew on me. Not particularly a song you’ll play at hanami or at parties though… Number 2 is still my number 1. ^^.

Update: -

Watched スッキリ this morning.

As of March 2010, number 3 is さくら by ケツメイシ, number 2 is さくら by 森山直太朗 and number 1 is 桜坂 (Sakurazaka) by 福山雅治.

Seasons change, but some songs stay the same. ^^. My favorite is still ケツメイシ’s さくら.
