A video I made in northern Japan to celebrate the explosion of cherry blossoms after a long winter. The song is called "sakura" which means cherry blossoms and the two kanji that pop up mean "cherry blossom" and later "flower viewing."

  • God is Most Merciful,Most Wisest,Most Great!

  • @TheMohanasBuzz Which one[s]?

  • Hana-mi should be translated as 'Flower Gazing.'

  • @karunamrita There is no definitive "should" when translating something poetic. You can have an opinion but here is why I used "flower viewing:" 1) I was told that translation in Japan by Japanese who used their own dictionaries. 2) Mayjay, Apple's dictionary, my Cannon wordtank, etc. use "flower viewing."

    3) 見 is not limited to 花見 (flower viewing) but also works with other things, like 月見 (moon-viewing) or 雪見(snow viewing). 4) In Japan no one "gazes;" they keep them in view as they drink お酒.

  • do you know how its called a japanise violin-like song instrument?

    if you know please respond.It has a very bealtyfull song and i wanted to listen some musics that have them.

  • @9972jonathan Look for shamisen or koto or maybe a kokyu. Your best bet is to look for "traditional japanese music."

    Happy hunting.

  • @krrreten Sakura (in Naruto) is frustratingly lame in some parts of the series. It depends on how far along you are. That said, I still like the flowers and the socializing and drinking that takes place under them across Japan every year.

  • @krrreten the only thing that there is lame here is you !!

    Thumps up if you are with me !!

see all
