Sakura is a Japanese serialized morning television drama that aired on NHK from April 1 to September 28 of 2002. The series totalled 156 episodes. It chronicles the life of Matsushita Sakura, a Sansei Japanese-American living in Hawaii. She moves to a small town in Japan to be an assistant language teacher for Japanese middle-school students.

Sakura first comes to Japan living with her grandparents; later, she moves because she has to teach English to the Japanese students. There she learns many valuable lessons and makes new friends.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
mpattini Yea, it's corny and sometimes a little ridiculous! However, Sakura has a certain charm that you just can't find anywhere else. It aired in California last year and is currently airing in New York. It's on Channel 25 every Sunday at 11:00pm. Try to catch it if you live around NYC! You'll get a kick out of it! Towards the end of the program, you get to see a clip or two on random Japanese topics. Some of them, such as the clip on robotics, are really amazing! In fact, the entire show seems to try to educate the viewers some way or another on Japanese culture. Sakura would best be described as a soap opera if it weren't for the fact that the characters are so nice!
theresaturpel This is probably the only show on these days that I CAN'T miss! I love watching how all the characters interact with each other and I love the little jokes every so often that have to do with Sakura (or Elizabeth as some call her) being an American. Her meddling in affairs is cute and the drama in the show keeps me on the edge of my seat! It's really fun to see the different personalities in the teachers and how Japanese schools work! It's especially enjoyable to see how Japan looks at us yanks. This is the first time I've seen a Japanese show try to tackle the "American Perspective" on Japan, and it's a lot of fun. It's also very informative for anyone who plans on visiting or even working in Japan! :) I love this show!!
Rhea This show is so cute! I love it! I watch it any time I'm lucky enough to catch it on TV. It's a great fish out of water type show, and the main girl is so cute! It's fun to see how she (an American) clashes with the employees where she works in Japan and how she has to get used to the customs. It's a really cute show and may even help you learn some Japanese!
