Sakura: Song

So I'm sitting in the living room with one of my roommates, helping her get various music from Japanese. "Traditional" which to me means the 60's and back. Traditional pop style music, meiji era, and older. I am so glad I am playing a perkier version of "Sakura" because traditionally it kind of sounds really dark and scary and depressing to most people. It isn't, but it sure sounds like it would be. Its actually about spring, but its played on such low notes that it could be used in a haunted house. I wonder what people would say if I showed them it.
