Yes, they are gorgeous, but I think the Yozakura at Chidorigafuchi near Kudanshita are better.

I didn't know that was done in elementary schools, thank you for teaching me something new. That is a good memory.

I prefer the ending part anyway when the blossoms are falling so as long as there is 60-70% still on the trees I'll be happy.

hmm...i don't know that we'll have any left by then. it rained and turned cold today so i don't think they'll make it that long. i could be wrong, though.

Oh, btw, I didn't know that Yo-Zakura(Sakura at night) is quite beautiful too until I saw your footage. Shame on me, huh. lol

Ahh, this video reminded me of my lunch in my grade school. You know, in Japan, the schools take care the students' lunches, and they would serve a sakura-mochi once a year. I'm not a big fan of sweet things, so that's about the memory of sakura-mochi I have, but I always loved it when we had those on lunch.

No one can ever be sure about the future. So don't give up just yet. You'll make it.

Cool will do! It was nice to meet you at the gathering!

nice vid with good backsound! Hanami is great - weather permitting. I'll be putting up or rather un-privatizing shortly a photo montage vid I made of sakura last year. Check it out!

what are the blossoms like in Kyoto? i'm planning on coming thru April 10.

The weather was fine til about 3:00pm or so and then it started raining heavily, so we moved the YouTube Gathering to "The Hub" in Shibuya. I am in the process of making the video now.
