== Trivia ==
== Song Production Information ==
=== Reven-G ===
"Sakura" is the flower in the hearts of Japanese people.<br>
When I listen to this melody, I strangely feel nostalgic, something which awakens my Japanese genes.<br>
Although the rhythm is based on the artificial rhythm of MAXX UNLIMITED, it has been fully refined and customized throughout the song.<br>
I introduced traditional Japanese instruments in the arrangement, fusing them with current synthesizer technology.
 
As a Japanese person, I've recently made a lot of songs with traditional and classical Japanese music as the theme, but now the songs under Reven-G are finally departing Japan and heading towards Europe.
 
== Video Production Information ==
=== VJ GYO ===
When you think about it, it's really amazing that you can clearly understand which country this song is from, by the instruments used and its melody. I think it's surprising.<br>
Music evolves while spreading. I think that's one of the charms of dance music.<br>
On the other hand, this song deepens evolution and promotes new music.
 
On the dance floor filled with people wearing various non-national costumes, wearing an extravagant and seasonal kimono with bright flowing patterns (would men wear oyoroi and jinbaori?), would attract big attention! It feels like that.
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== RICE.C ===
This is my favorite song. Japanese things are hot.
 
I've received many e-mails asking "who's that girl?". Thank you. As you can see, she's ALICE. Although she's from Hong Kong, please don't mind that she's wearing a kimono. I thought a kimono suited her the most..


* The name "Sakura" refers to the cherry blossom tree that blossoms during the springttime.
I wonder if this theme is "beauty-styled honor".
* 桜 is beatmania IIDX 8th style's Extra stage. When accessed as such, the music select BGM changes to a sample of 桜, and the background changes to cherry blossom petals.
* In the arcade version of beatmania IIDX 8th style, 桜 had its own unique splash screen, with the text in pink. This was not carried over to any CS IIDX game.

The cherry blossom is the the flower in the heart of the Japanese people. When you listen to this melody, you feel a strange sense of nostalgia welling up inside you; it is if something is awakening within our genes. The rhythm is based on that of MaxX Unlimited, and is generally refined and customized into what it is now. I was able to mix in the use of traditional instruments as I pleased thanks to today's synthesizer technology.

We've recently made a lot of songs that have at their foundations classical Japanese traditions and musical ideas, but more and more the Reven-G name is looking more towards Europe for its ideas.

When you think about it, it's really amazing that people from different countries can all understand the same feelings communicated by a musical instrument and the melodies they create. I don't find it too surprising. Music has made lots of different evolutions as it's scattered across the world. I think that's one of the charms of dance music. On the other hand, there are songs that stimulate new musical progress as they themselves improve.
=== DanceEvolution ===

Among the people you see on the dance floor with nondescript clothing, a beautiful woman dancing alone in a splendidly colored kimono would attract lots of attention! (Maybe battle armor if it was a guy ... )
