Trivia

SAKURA's banner.
SAKURA's DanceDanceRevolution Disney Channel Edition banner.
  • The name "Sakura" refers to the cherry blossom tree that blossoms during the springtime.
  • 桜 is beatmania IIDX 8th style's EXTRA STAGE song. 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 beatmania IIDX game.
  • 桜, reaching as low as 20 BPM, currently holds the record for the song with the lowest BPM at any point in the DanceDanceRevolution series.
    • This 20 BPM segment is notorious for its turn at the incredibly low speed, making easily one of the hardest to time slowdowns in DanceDanceRevolution history.
    • Also, with a peak low of 13 BPM, 桜 has the lowest BPM at any point in the REFLEC BEAT series.
  • ALICE appears in 桜's DanceDanceRevolution graphics and movies.
  • SAKURA received a unique video in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2. This video was carried over to the arcade releases of DanceDanceRevolution in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
    • This video is played full-screen and eliminates any on-screen dancers.
    • As of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro, 桜 also uses a revised version of this video in the beatmania IIDX series.
  • SAKURA received a Double BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX3.
  • SAKURA received a new set of graphics in DanceDanceRevolution Disney Channel EDITION. These have never been used in another DanceDanceRevolution game.
    • The background video, on the other hand, is a direct rip of its EXTREME2 video.
  • 桜 was performed live in the release event for DanceDanceRevolution (PS3).
  • 桜 appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the DDR EXTREME Pack 4.
  • 桜 is the second FINAL ROUND song of REFLEC BEAT colette -Spring-.
  • 桜 is one of very few songs in DanceDanceRevolution in which the EXPERT chart is more difficult and higher rated than the CHALLENGE chart.
  • 桜 was added to DanceEvolution ARCADE on March 22nd, 2013.
  • 桜 can be unlocked from April 12th, 2016 on beatmania IIDX INFINITAS' Akashic Explore event.

Song Production Information

Reven-G

The cherry blossom is the flower in the hearts of the Japanese people. When you listen to this melody, you feel a strange sense of nostalgia welling up inside you; it is as 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 classical Japanese traditions and musical ideas at their foundations, but the Reven-G name is looking more and more towards Europe for its ideas.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

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 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.

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?)
