NEWS impressions on Sakura Girl ^______^
Shige
At first I thought that it wasn't a song very much NEWS-like...like it was a song too good for us (lol). But listening to it more and more I thought that it really fits us. NEWS became adults. Our voices sound adult-like and our singing style has a wider range. Maybe if it was 1 year ago we couldn't have sung a song like this. My favourite line, this may sound bad but it's my part "Nukegara sae kounagouna ni (Scattering skin in very small pieces)". It may be difficult to grasp the interpretation but I feel it brings a deep message. Maybe if I was dumped by my important person...I wouldn't cry. I would be depressed but I wouldn't hate it (lol). Like if I couldn't accept the reality.

It's saved by the bright tune but the lyrics of the song are really sad so when I sing it I always try to be caught by the rithm (lol). The season in which Sakura bloom is the one of graduations, there are a lot of people who will experience a farewell so I think it will be a hit to many hearts. Of course it would be better if you don't have say goodbye to the person you cherish, if there is love you have to do your best to don't make it happen but sometimes it can't be helped. You should do you maximum effort (lol). Since usually is time that solve the hearts pains, let's cherish your time and listen to our CD! This time we'll try to make you have fun and don't make you sad

It has a good rythm but it's a sad song. I think it can be received in many ways but it gives the impression of a broken heart. All the members passed the 20s so it's a song that we can sing now. The lines that I sing are expecially painful: "Kotoba ni naranai kimi no sayonara ni mada ukeirerarenai koto bakari (I still can't accept your farewell that didn't need words)". A guy who can arrange his feelings into words it's a very strong man. If I was into that circumstance I think I would end to say "Wait!" (lol). But if after a discussion it's still the same it really can't be helped. Against a girl clear refusal a man can't win (lol).

When I heard the song the first time I thought I love it with his sad lyrics and the catching melody. Then it was really easy to memorize. The line I like the most is "Matte matte boku no sakura (Dance dance my sakura)". At first, before reading the lyrics, I interpretated it as a "wait wait" though...maybe, it really has a double meaning. If like in this song I had to part from my important person, I wouldn't drag it over the years. My mind would be full of this person but in the end I'd accept the condition...I'd let the time solve everything.
Tegoshi
A catching melody and wonderful lyrics, this is what I thought the first time I heard "Sakura Girl". The world "breaking" doesn't appear but little by little the atmosphere....turns so sad. The feeling that the person you love is falling like a sakura maybe it's not clear. But if you break with the person you like you can't really chase after her. If it's your girlfriend you wouldn't want to be parted, right? This song is full of thoughts like this. It's a love song perfect for broken-hearted people, people in love, so please listen to it a lot during this season!
Massu
I think that the refrain is catching, singing it it's so cool. It compares a girl to a cherry blossom who fall down slowly but since the melody isn't sad you can hear it anytime. I think that if I get dumped by my important person I'd cry a lot (lol). I gladly recommend this new single, it has peaceful songs but also exciting ones. I love "Freedom". The line "Let's open, the sleeping emotions" it's great. Please discover your favourite song between all them!
