| Hi everyone! Risa here. |
| Look! Spring is here. |
| In spring, we like to do 花見 (hanami). |
| Do you know what hanami is? |
| Hanami literally means "flower viewing". |
| But in Japan, it almost always means having a picnic under the cherry blossom trees. |
| It's also known as "cherry blossom viewing party". |
| People have a picnic under cherry blossoms, eat food, drink, listen to music, and enjoy their time with their friends. |

| Cheers! |
