Siri Lee - Sakura Gansha - Official Music Video

2025 | Taiwan , Japan | Color | Stereo | 16:9 | Video
Sakura Gansha (Cherry Blossom Facial) is a music video performed by Siri Lee and directed by Sijin, created in collaboration with AI artist Ruby Nian and animator Hsin Hsin.
Blending Showa-era aesthetics with handcrafted techniques, AI generation and live action, the piece explores female sexual autonomy through stylised symbolism and layered media.
Set to a playful enka-inspired track, the visuals feature floral and fruit motifs—especially mangoes, a Japanese slang for female genitalia—used to suggest desire without direct exposure.
The video ends not with a graphic release, but with an eruption of cherry blossoms—a climax that is floral, symbolic, and entirely led by the female subject.
