What is “Senbonzakura”?
“Senbonzakura” is a representative song of “Kurousa P” sung by Hatsune Miku and posted on September 17, 2011. The song quickly became a popular song due to its retro atmosphere, melody that makes you want to sing once you hear it, and a video that uses illustrations depicting this world in great detail. There have been many covers by famous artists, and Sachiko Kobayashi performed the song at the 2015 Kohaku Uta Gassen. In addition, the “Novel Senbonzakura” series, which has been written since 2013 by Mr. Ichitomaru, who worked on illustrations, has become a hit work that has sold over 350,000 copies in total, and there are comics, musicals, and works based on the world view of “Novel Senbonzakura”. It has become a work that is widely loved, going beyond the framework of a single song, and has even been performed as a super kabuki.
