The Cherry Blossom Road

New release by acoustic guitarist Masataka Umamichi!
"The Cherry Blossom Road" to be released on March 18th.

The theme of this song is "the ephemeral beauty of things" - the connections and love between people, life, and the cherry blossoms which also inspired the title.

The medium ballad expresses a bittersweet and beautiful melody with the gut guitar.

For this recording, instead of the usual steel-string acoustic guitar, He used a nylon-string guitar, represented by the classical guitar. Please enjoy the soft and unique tone of the nylon strings.

A live performance is also scheduled for March 26th in Tokyo!

Comment from Masataka Umamichi:

Cherry blossoms are really beautiful, but they only last for a moment.

In life, there are many things that are ephemeral and beautiful like cherry blossoms, and I composed this song while thinking about them.

For me, cherry blossoms are spending holidays with friends, seeing a gentleman give up his seat on a train, or a night of delivering music to everyone at a live performance.
