This is OT but oh my gosh, you had friends in Japan?! Yeah thank goodness they're okay! I'm hoping my friend's friend, who went to Japan just for a short vacation is okay...

Sakura was going to be my suggestion, but you already have it! It's my friends middle name, and she isn't Japanese at all, I think it's so cool
