By the forecast of this year, a flower of Sakura blooms ten days later more.
Because I cannot wait till a flower blooms.:relief:
I post the song which featured the theme of a flower of Sakura till a flower of Sakura blooms.

I found a sakura music video. :-) It's Hikaru Utada's "Sakura Drops" performed by Sotte Bosse, a Japanese soft-rock/fusion jazz kind of band. The lead singer is named Kana. This video has sakura in it, whereas Hikaru's video does not.

It's actually not just you in Japan who have cherry flowers,
even if ours blooms a lot later of course, somewhere in the middle of may or so.
But outside my mothers house we even have 5 big pink cherry flower trees,
they are lovely when they bloom, even if they don't bloom that long every year ...

I'm jealous that you have cherry blossom trees to enjoy in private comfort. I hope for that luxury one day, too.

Here's a video of cherry blossom tree in Washington, D.C. (I'm afraid it's not a music video. Sorry Nagashima-san.)

However, I did find another sakura music video.
Not nearly as good as Mika Nakashima but.......

I went home late last week.
In Fukuoka, the SAKURA blossoms were already in full bloom.
However, flower viewing was not possible because it was a storm on Sunday.:(
I watched a SAKURA tree from the car which went to the airport to come back to Tokyo.

The SAKURA blossoms of Tokyo do not yet bloom.
It seems to take time more a little. :bluush:

I don't think these guys are as good as Morning Musume.

But yes today was so perfect for a hanami party in Tokyo. The sky was a cloudless blue, gentle winds, and Sakura Mankai!
