Sakura (Japanese folk music) - Dedicated to the victims of March 11, 2011

I would like to wholeheartedly dedicate this audiovisual material about Sakura (Cherry Blossom) to all the victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. This is one of my favorite Japanese folk songs, and definitely this video comes along with the most touching and monumental version ever been recorded (must be a live recording though),
