The ephemeral blooming of the sakura symbolizes human life, and Japanese people love to celebrate in groups by holding "flower viewing" parties known as hanami. The season is also the start of the new school year, college graduates start new jobs, and it’s the start of the new fiscal year for Japanese businesses.

Because of the love for sakura and the things they symbolize, they're a very popular theme when it comes to Japanese music. Many Japanese artists have at least one song dedicated to cherry blossoms, and the Vocaloid genre is no exception.
