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!
