The cherry blossom song Sakura is one of the most popular Japanese songs. The semi-tone pentatonic scale, which can often be found in Japanese music, gives the song its melancholic character. It is the “charm of fading beauty” with the cherry blossoms used as an image, a metaphorical expression: they both come into flower and wither away quickly. – Frank Michael
