So maybe some cultural exchange happened?

Dear Miss Watanabe, I have seen and heard many versions of "Sakura" but yours is the most enchanting. The Koto needs a lot of strength in the fingers but it seems to be very hard to play "soft" on it. But you master it seemingly without effort and paint the picture of that fragile and docile cherry blossom. My thanks for this impressive performance. From germany with great admiration.

Sakura is a song that is sung even in elementary schools in Japan. Therefore, there is no Japanese who cannot sing Sakura. The koto is played like this during big celebrations, New Year's parties, weddings, and so on. When we Japanese hear the sound of the koto, we are reminded of the beautiful scenery of Japan.

Я давно смотрю аниме и случайно наткнулся на аниме про этот инструмент. И он меня очень впечатлил. Я сам музыкант, закончил музыкальную школу, играю на инструментах с 5 лет и невероятно люблю музыку. Но в последнее время мне начало все приедается. И это звучание, этот инструмент меня как будто пробудил. Я услышал нечто новое для себя и завараживающее. Этот инструмент очень красив в звучании и отлично передаёт эмоции музыканта. Я даже захотел научится на нем играть. Мне 19 лет и я надеюсь когда нибудь съездить в Японию и послушать это все в живую
