Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom (Kanji: 桜の花 Romanji: Saku-ra-den n'o ha'na) is the eleventh episode of Angry Birds Seasons, released on March 7, 2012. The game celebrates the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival and takes place in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. According to a Rovio press release on March 5, "This newest episode, Cherry Blossom, focuses on the Japanese tradition of celebrating spring with a picnic with family and friends under the flowering cherry blossom trees.

The episode consists of 15 levels.

The Mighty Eagle returns in this episode, having been replaced by the Mighty Dragon in the previous one.

Artwork for the game contains the second instance of an egg appearing sentient as it is holding an umbrella.

This is the only the second time a sentient egg has been shown, the previous being the Boy and Girl Eggs from Hogs and Kisses.

This is the first season out of Season 2012 that doesn't have a promo video.

Storyline
The following is from The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, as told by the Mighty Eagle:

FLOWER POWER

I had just got back from my travels when the alarm went up again. The eggs had been snatched while the birds were enjoying the Cherry Blossom Festival. Grrrrrr. Those pigs! Life on Piggy Island is usually a bowl of cherries, but this is the pits.

Golden Eggs

 * There is a Golden Egg with three petals in Level 1-15. You must zoom out on the far right. Use a Bomb Bird to throw stones toward the Egg.
 * Earning 3 stars on all levels unlocks the Big Fan Golden Egg.

Sakura Ninja
Just like Cherry Blossom, it is based on the same background and concept. Sakura Ninja is on Google Chrome extra. Instead of having no clothes, the birds are wearing all different types of costumes from Japan. The levels are different from Cherry Blossom.

Trivia

 * A Golden Egg of Cherry Blossom features the blue birds items/blocks.
 * This is the first episode where the Red Bird doesn't appear (The second being Haunted Hogs and the third being Winter Wonderham). He is absent in the loading screen, level 1-1 and the ending photo. He sends his older brother to take the job. But he does appear in Sakura Ninja.
