Since its release three years ago in 2012, the song continued to resurface every year with the approach of spring.
Local media have tagged the song “immortal” while fans elevated it to a lyrical history, stating, “when global warming erases spring from the four seasons, ‘Cherry Blossom Ending’ just may be the way to preserve the image of spring as we know it.”
