In the countryside of Osaka in Japan, my beautiful hometown is filled with cherry trees planted 30 years ago. I will take you on an audio tour of the cherry walk.

The song I remember during the cherry blooms season. The one that takes you to that place when you close your eyes. Do you have such a song?

桜の季節に想い出すあの歌。目を閉じるとあの場所に連れて行ってくれる歌。皆さんはありますか？

For me, “Still, I will live on” by ATSUSHI & Nobuyuki Tsujii is the one that takes me to the place of comfort and happiness in my heart.  
私にとっては、ATSUSHIさんと辻井伸行さんの「それでも生きてゆく」がその曲です。
