Comments by Kohei Tanaka (original in Japanese)

This is the first time for us to perform an orchestra concert featuring only Sakura songs.

For the fans who have loved Sakura for a long time, I have chosen songs that are suitable for orchestra from among the past songs. We have also made some new arrangements for this time.
It was quite a difficult selection to satisfy both old and newcomers, but the task itself was a fun one for me, as Sakura's 20+ years of assets are very rich.
I believe that Sakura has two kinds of appeal: songs and dramatic pieces, and for this concert, I arranged the impressive dramatic pieces in the first half and the songs in the second half, so that the audience could enjoy both parts of the concert.
Our guests will be Noriko Hidaka from the Tomoe group and the members of the stage flower group of the new Sakura Taisen.
Anyway, it is a rare opportunity to listen to Sakura songs in such an intimate setting, so please come and join us!
We hope you will be able to attend.
