00:00In the cold winter, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and I feel like I can do my best for the summer.
00:15Last year, I actually traveled to Korea to see the sakura as well, but it's like the
00:26colors of the Korean sakura are more white, not pinky like that.
00:32But in Japan, you can see many different colors of sakura, and we love that.
00:42When I walked up here, I've seen the first sakura.
00:46I instantly took a picture because I was like, my mom has been waiting because she's still
00:51in Germany, and she's been waiting for me to see sakura.
00:55And I'm leaving today, so I was very lucky to actually see some.
01:01It was so interesting because everyone has all this excitement about the season, and
01:08it's so nice to see.
