Description

Sakura is without doubt the most loved and lauded entry in Susumu Yokota?s catalogue.

The music unravels like cascades of petals falling from the eponymous cherry blossom trees. Yokota intended to ?express ki-do-ai-raku (the four emotions; joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness) through music?, and throughout Sakura, the effect fluctuates between profound tranquillity, hesitation, melancholy and joy with ease, addressing the fickle nature of human emotion, while transcending the inclination to label moods entirely.

Sakura became Yokota?s best selling album. It was greeted with universal acclaim, lauded by Philip Glass and Brian Eno and launched Yokota internationally.

?A bittersweet beauty, heightened by the sadness that all things must one day end.? - Martyn Pepperell
