I first chose this piece because I was attracted to the thought of Cherry Blossoms, because I love the tree. This is a modern song from Japan. I thought it was interesting because I remember reading that there is very little mixing of modern and traditional music. Besides the fact that it was not in English this song sounds very European. I enjoyed the use of piano and how her voice mixed well with the instruments. I thought it was very pretty and overall very nice to listen to.
