What are some beautiful Japanese names for girls?

I'm writing a story about four sisters that live in Japan. I want beautiful-sounding Japanese names for girls, but names that wouldn't be that weird for the English language. It would help if you could also add meanings. I'd also love it if you could suggest names with meanings to do with flowers, colours, jewels, etc.. Thanks so much for your help! Oh, and the last name for the girls is Kamikaze.

Update:

I know all about the suicide bombers given the name "Kamikaze". Please don't criticize me because of this. I know what it means. I just don't believe that a name used in literature or culture really changes the name itself. It means 'divine wind'. I'm not naming my daughters after the Kamikaze pilots so please don't go on about that.

    If you name your girls Kamikaze, independent of the meaning you give it, make sure never to bring tour daughter here to Japan.... ever heard of Bullying? Don't ask why, if she ever suffers that...

    The worst thing is that is not gonna be her fault, but all yours...

    Well, that is my opinion, you are free to do as you please :)

    OMG you're stupid lol Kamikaze were the suicide bombers of World War II, it's not a surname! It means "divine wind" literally. Change the surname to Nakamura. Or something. What is the time period? Because the older generations of Japanese women usually have -ko (meaning child) at the end of their names, while more modern names usually forgo this.
