Western Music Sakura Song Rankings [2025] (1–10)
Cherry BlossomPaolo Nutini1rank/position

When we think of sakura songs, we tend to imagine something refreshing, but there are actually tracks with darker worlds too.
With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Cherry Blossom.” It’s a song released by the Scottish singer Paolo Nutini.
The melody is classic, straight-ahead rock.
In the song, “cherry blossom” is used as a keyword to represent a cherished person who has been lost.
And since cherry blossoms bloom again every year even after they fall, the song can also be interpreted as a wish for reunion.
Tokyo RoadBon Jovi2rank/position

This work opens with a striking intro that weaves in the melody of the traditional Japanese piece “Sakura Sakura.” Its energetic hard rock sound and lyrics set against the backdrop of Tokyo nights are especially captivating.
The song portrays adventures and encounters in a foreign land, evoking the vibrant atmosphere of Japan in the 1980s.
Included on the album 7800° Fahrenheit, released in March 1985, it carries a special sentiment for Japanese fans.
Recommended for those who want to experience the early appeal of Bon Jovi or who feel nostalgic for Japan in the ’80s.
Cherry Blossom RoadBibio3rank/position

A track I’d like to introduce as one that sparks the imagination is “Cherry Blossom Road.” It’s a piece included on the album Fi by the electronic music artist Bibio.
The album was produced using a method that samples environmental sounds and layers melodies over them throughout.
Although each track isn’t described in detail, it can be inferred that “Cherry Blossom Road” samples the ambient sounds of a road where cherry blossom petals are fluttering down.

A gem of a song woven by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who experienced drug dependence and conflicts in human relationships, infused with hope for rebirth.
Included on the album Californication, released in June 1999, it peaked at No.
9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
With lyrics that symbolize emotional scars and John Frusciante’s striking slide guitar, it’s a melodious and emotional track.
Loved by many listeners as healing music, this work resonates with those who have overcome past hardships and are trying to take a new step forward.

A warm song that stands by those experiencing heartache and loneliness.
Released by Savage Garden in March 2000, this piece delivers a message of hope and empathy to people facing difficulties.

A gem of a ballad that delicately captures the pain of heartbreak and lingering attachment.
Ellie Goulding’s clear, translucent vocals beautifully portray the feeling of being trapped by a past love.
The simple, piano-centered arrangement enhances the emotion conveyed by the lyrics.
Released in March 2019, the track is included on the album Brightest Blue.
Its black-and-white music video also superbly reflects the song’s world.

Cherry BlossomLana Del Rey7rank/position

Lana Del Rey, a singer based in New York, has actually created a song connected to cherry blossoms as well.
That’s “Cherry Blossom,” released in 2021.
Set to her signature, translucent vocals, the song paints springtime scenery.
The lyrics mention plane trees and dandelions, but the cherry blossoms in the title never actually appear.
There are various interpretations of this, including the idea that a certain thing depicted in the song symbolizes cherry blossoms.
Be sure to give it a listen.
