SAKURA...

"SAKURA"... I like this flower very much.
In Japan, we call "SAKURA" for cherry blossom which is very pretty and beautiful.
Recently SAKURA has just begun to bloom (some spots have already been blooming...)

When I see cherry blossoms, I always remember my old school memories... and feel a bit sentimentally...




There are many beautiful songs with SAKURA theme in Japan, but today I would like to share a song which is my favourite.
Most of readers of this blog (thank you for stopping by!) won't be able to understand the lyrics because it's in Japanese, but I just would like you to listen to this song...






"SAKURA" by Naotaro Moriyama


Actually, he is my favourite singer in Japan, at the moment.
My husband always asks me "Why do you like him?? He is not so good looking, he has bandy and short legs, bla bla bla..." LOL!

I don't mind his bandy legs at all, lol... (actually I like his looks, though!), I love his voice, lyrical words, how he sings!
He also does write the lyrics (most of his songs are wrote by his friend and him) and he also does compose.
His mother is also a singer and she has very beautiful voice. I love both of them!
Recently I bought his DVD and after my son slept, I watch it and enjoy a lot! :D


If you are interested in his song, here is another my favourite song, link below...




"Itoshi Kimie" by Naotaro Moriyama




I'm glad to hear if you also had interests of him or his songs, and am looking forward to hearing your impressions or opinions, as one of his fan! :D

Oh Yuko! Thank you so much for sharing these songs. I can understand why you like him so much. His voice is magnificent, and his songs create much emotion. The second song made my eyes tear. And, I also think he is very handsome.
