- "Sakura", is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting spring, the season of cherry blossoms. It is often sung in international settings as a song representative of Japan.
Contrary to popular belief, the song did not originate in ancient times; it was a popular, urban melody of the Edo period.
Melody
The "Sakura Sakura" melody has been popular since the Meiji period, and the lyrics in their present form were attached then. The tune uses a pentatonic scale known as the In scale.
Expressed as diatonic notes in the major scale, the In scale is 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 (1), 10 (3); or the notes E F A B c e[1] (nominally A minor); or in solfège Mi Fa La Ti Do Mi. The melodic scale can either be represented in older Western musical theory by the Phrygian minor or the Phrygian major mode, with the 3rd and 7th notes in the scale omitted.
Because the melody spans a modest range, it is ideally suited to instruments that have a limited pitch range, such as the Native American flute (similar to the Shakuhachi).[2] The melody arranged by Ongaku Torishirabe-gakari was included in Collection of Japanese Koto Music issued in 1888, for beginning koto students in the Tokyo Academy of Music.[3]
Lyrics
The original lyrics[4] are listed as the second verse in the table below. In 1941, the Ministry of Education published a new verse in Uta no hon (うたのほん 教師用 下) which was listed first, with the original verse listed second.[5]
sakura sakura
noyama mo sato mo
mi-watasu kagiri
kasumi ka kumo ka

This song is the best 🎉❤
Can you please tell the singer of the song
When I was in elementary school, every year in music class we would have a program where we sang songs from different places in the world. This was one of them that we sang in the program one year. It still sticks with me to this day. :)
Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories with us! The number of likes on your comment shows that there are many others who have had the same experience as you. It is really wonderful to sing foreign songs together as children… May peace come to the world.☺️🌸✨✨

Me too but I’m doing it in primary
@@sakurassongsThank you for sharing this beautiful song! I learned about it from Rich Eberlen in the US, who has this channel: ua-cam.com/video/hAmEKF-ZmJE/v-deo.html …He makes guitar extensions, and I just got one :-) it’s a bit like a small Koto, and I love it! Sending love from Greece 🇬🇷 have a lovely day 😊🙏
@@ChristosNikolis Thanks for sharing wonderful website with us! I've never seen a guitar extension before and I'm very interested to see it. You are right, it does resemble a koto. And his playing is really great! Actually, my favourite sound is acoustic guitar🎸😊. Have a great day to you in Greece!🌸
I lived in Yokohama in the fifties and this was always my favorite song. It brings back so many wonderful memories!
You lived in Yokohama over 70 years ago. Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories with us!☺️🌸
how old are you my good sir
🙏🙏
80 probably idk 90 wait acc wtf how old is this guy @@youngmanoldman32
this song has something magical, it's hauntingly beautiful
Thank you for your beautiful message. ..so hauntingly.☺️🌸✨
@@sakurassongs Exactly what I have thought. It inspired me to imagine this in a story in which... a character which I consider a father figure soothes me to sleep with this soothingly haunting berceuse.
It does and it is!
Only through eternity you’re closest to the heavenly principles.
Thank you for the message🌸
Lmao
lmao that's why I'm here too
HELP😭
ABAHAHAHAH😭💖
This song makes me nostalgic for the first time I went to the Japanese fall festival in Springfield Missouri. It was a beautiful warm September day in 2017. I met many people, I tried on yukata for the first time (which made me feel beautiful), I watched shows, drank matcha and got a sunburn. It was a wonderful day and is a fond memory.
🇯🇵❤This is the first Japanese melody I ever heard...As a child, I was drawn to its magical spell...and now I have finally started to learn Japanese...
I am Javanese. I found some similarity between Javanese and Japanese old/traditional song. They sounds heavenly, soft like a feather but also gloomy at the same time. It always uses gloomy melody even if the lyrics ain't showing anything gloomy at all and at the very ends of the song it always uses the low tone. It give the gloomy vibes even more.
So, javanese and japanese traditional song for me, so beautiful yet creepy to hear. Imagine if you hear somebody sing this song in the middle of the night
Yeah the first time i heard this from komagome jingle, i constantly thought "wait this song sounds very sundanese"
Well, Nusantara was once a part of Japanese back then, so well, no wonder there's similarities in culture, imagine if this song is played with Gamelan instrument. Would be really great ig
@@kunkunangmadu naw, friend. I'm good! 🤣
Best version of Sakura I ever heard :)
Thanks for listening to my version of one of the many sakura!🌸🌸🌸 I'm very happy! 😊

Haven’t heard this song in almost 20 years but I can still hear the melody.
Today we learnt to play this as a band arrange in music, it’s a very beautiful song and I’ve be obsessed with it since.
Thank you for finding my video the day you came across this song and sending me a message!🌸✨✨
It's also extremely common in Japanese Music to make an homage to it... It's fun to listen to random Japanese Music and suddenly you hear the melody...
@@livedandletdie I’ve started to notice this ever since learning it as well, essentially In video games.
I'm from Philippines... This song was so calming and beautiful, we're studying Japanese folk songs and me and my groupmates have to sing this infront of the class
You are Grade 8😂?
i wanted to sing this, pero my classmates voted for mo li hua:((

Somehow this lovely song brings forth a vision of eternity, the bane of ambitions, the thunderings of the merciless and the almighty violet thunder. I wonder why.

The life of a cherry blossom is very short. I think you are feeling that fleeting life through the song. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. 🌸
I was born in Japan and lived my childhood there. Just came back from Hanami in Washington DC and was nostalgic for this classic song. Domo arigato gozaimashita💜
You don't worry... me alone will give this 50 views.. I love this song.. and I really wanted all types of lyrics (kanji/romaji/ English)
Your comment was very encouraging. Thank you !!! I will release the new songs with all types of subtitles!

Ms. Grapner ❤wherever you are I remember this song since the age of 7 because of you. Teachers leave lasting impression she sure has.

Beautiful!
It's so pleasant, i sleep hearing this some times
What a lovely song and play! I know this melody from my time as a kindergarden teacher in Europe. With a japanese colleague called Yoshika from Tokio I was singing this song with the children many years ago. What a wonderful culture and awareness of music.
It really touched my heart. Thank you so much for the beautiful song. Your voice is Amazing.
Thank you for your nice comment☺️ I'm so glad you liked the song!!
MEGITSUNE !
Whoaaaa! I just got blown back to 6th grade when we sang this. Thank you so much for that nostalgia! That was over six years ago 😄.

I really love this song from first time listening to it
Im from India and i respect japenese tradition and culture.This is beautiful ❤
I am learning this piano piece for a friend visiting from Japan… her name is Juri, and I wanted to learn the words as well… thank you 🙏🏼 it’s very beautiful!
Glad I could help! Please play and sing along with Juri😊 Here in Japan, it will soon be sakura’s season🌸.
I woke up on the first day of Spring in Narita. The day before the trees had been bare. In the morning as I walked I saw the first of the Sakura blossoms and when I came to the park, all of the Sakura trees where in bloom. This song was playing in my head. I caught a flight that afternoon and crossed the International Date Line before the day had ended and flew into the beginning of Spring in the Western Hemisphere. By the time midnight came in Los Angeles, it had been 40 hours for me since the Dawn of Spring, at the beginning of which I saw the first bloom of the Sakura.
This just makes me wanna cry my eyes out. Lyrics are joyful, intruments are beautiful yet here i am with teary eyes.
I bought a CASIO wrist watch back in the let 70's, this signal used to wake me up.
Grade 8 right now
Luffy sang this I think
this is so beautiful, i heard this in the extras section in detroit become human and i finally found the full version
Just phenomenal...
Thank you, thank you for sharing this beautiful performance. Applause and congratulations. Tears and smiles.

Cherry blossoms in bloom truly are beautiful….Wish I could see and attend a real cherry blossom festival. Been a dream of mine for years. Only one in my family who ended up part japanese because me and my older sister have different dads. Ever since I was a baby I’ve just seemed extremely interested in the culture. Even did the special japanese birthday celebration when I was little…..Still have photos of it somewhere. Plus recently did a Japanese combination with my Quinceanera when I turned 15. To do something special and unique like me. Wanting to combine 2 parts of me in one on the special day. 😊
May you one day see a real cherry blossom festival in Japan. Just as the life of the cherry blossom is connected from ancient times to today, so is yours.
Having two cultures in you is a wonderful thing. You let the flower that is you blossom into full bloom in your family.🌸✨🌸✨🥰
This very very helpful, thank you very much
Glad it could help.😊🌸✨✨
Thanks, teaching myself to play it on piano.
So beautiful song❤️❤️💕
Thanks for the lovely comment!🥰
HI GRADE 8-4 NICE TO SEE YOU IN THIS CHANNEL
Very nice. I remember this from when I was in Japan in the early 60's.
Danzando ante la tormenta, rogando que descienda el dios del rayo. Otra hermosa pieza de arte ha sido encontrada. Que alegría poder escuchar tan dulces tonadas instrumentales..
Gracias🌸☺️🌸
Wow 😯👏👏💕

Greeting from Brazil!
Hi!☺️Thanks for your message from Brazil!🌸
Beautiful! I have taught this song before to my students with 4-Hole Ocarina which you may know is ancient Woodwind instrument that dates back to the Stone Age in history. Japanese Composer Koji Kondo used this instrument in Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998). Saw concert years ago in Stillwater, Oklahoma where Koto was played with large ensemble of Ocarinas. Was given hand-made Ocarina from Japan. Was years later I began teaching 12-Hole Ocarina. Thank you for sharing!🎼
Me: learns a single japanese word
Me:
Good luck!! 👍✨✨🌸
Lmao cameback here like 3 times for a school project, raiden shogun theme, and luffy version and its still bussin 💯 really great music and culture of another country
Yes. I also learnt about those two versions ( Raiden shogun and Ruffy’s)😉
I love how many different versions of this song there are
Of all the versions, thanks for listening to this one!🌸✨✨
i love this so much
Honestly I love Luffy's version most but this is so beautiful
It is a lullaby women sing to their babies. It's supposed to be funny because Luffy sings it to a old woman like a baby.

I came after I realized the breakdown of megitsune from Babymetal use this melody ❤
They really did pack everything traditional they could in that song and MV.
Bro same. I just heard this song in the anime Zom 100 and thought it sounded very similar to megitsune and looked it up. Glad to see another Babymetal fan in this comment section!
Great song! Just listened to the instrumental version from another video, but glad I heard the lyrics! :D
Also I really appreciate the instruments used are simple and not “modernized” if you get what I mean
Thanks for finding my video! I'm so glad that you noticed that I tried to keep it simple when I added the accompaniment to this ancient Japanese melody🌸✨✨
It’s so flow and beautiful❤️🥰😍😘
Grade 8 knows
A very lovely rendition of this beautiful song. To my western ear, this pentatonic scale creates a feeling of melancholy. I wonder whether, as a Japanese, you would agree. I presume the cherry blossom is not only a sign of spring but also a symbol of the transitoriness of life. Am I correct?
Sorry for the late reply☺️
My modern ears, which know western scales, can feel the same melancholy in this song as you do. My impression is that the melody of this song is not about human sentimentality, but about the old Japanese landscape itself🌸🌸🌸
You are right, sakura is not only a symbol of spring, but also of fleeting life. It is said that their gracefulness and their ability to fall away is the reason why the Japanese love them so much🌸✨✨✨
