The legend said the bloom of cherry tree becoming so beautiful due to the corpses underneath. The view of cherry blossom by the thousands is very epic yet very sad. This is what I read else where.

This song is about Japan's cultural Revolution starting in the late 1800's. It was marked by a severe adaptation of Western Cultural as was common in the age of Imperialism, but was different from the rest of Asia in that Western culture was embraced and fused with what was considered to be "Japanese". The songs also brings up points about Industry and the nearly impossible rate of Militarization that also marked these years. This song appears sad because of how slow it is, but the original song taps into Patriotism and Nostalgia of a time when Japan went from 3rd world to world power

I just appreciate how well made this beautiful cover is

I didn’t realize Lizz would update ALL her thumbnails, they look nice!

The piano and your voice are so beautiful together...

. The original version is fast and the song is more jumpy, so we didn't have much time to think what she sang but this slow version...the music is already sad and the lyrics are slowed, giving us time to process what she sang. I like both versions to be honest.

Im still vibing to this 3 years later

1. Piano Cover ✔ 2. Gentle Voice ✔ 3. Beautiful Song ✔

When I found this cover, I was learning about the history of japan. Felt like a true intellectual

The lyrics are beautiful and so poetic. One of those rare songs you can listen to over and over without it getting old. I wish we had more songs like this in America.

“Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light.” That’s my favorite part. This is the part that catches my attention.

I know it’s a soldiers’ song, but for me it’s also always represented this transition Japan went through of embracing modernization while also holding tight to dear traditions. It’s something I think many other parts of the world are missing now, that bit of tradition, and the fact Japan still openly keeps many of theirs has always made the country special to me.

The original version makes me all happy inside This one makes me wanna huddle in a corner and cry *sniffs* Good job.

I had no idea how dark the song was, good job Lizz!

Damn four years ago and I'm still here

This song is talking about a time right around the time of the Battle of Shiroyama, which was the last stand of the samurai. Thanks Sabaton.

This is honestly one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard. All the versions I've heard have been really upbeat, so it overpowers the sad lyrics of the song. Your voice sounds really emotional and I love your slower version!! Thanks for the music!

I am a Mexican American expatriate soldier, living in Japan.. and I can not tell you in how many ways this song touches my heart.. thank you.. peace

Since on one else has posted it, I will/ Lyrics: [Verse 1] With a bold and sudden calling Western Revolution's starting Let our hearts be open to it, pacifist nation Riding on a penny-farthing, it's the flag of our sun rising Warding evil spirits like an ICBM [Pre-Chorus] On the train tracks, running along the line Let us move forward, don't look behind Boys and girls becoming like samurai Just like those from our previous life [Chorus] Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice, keep what I say in mind This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Looking down at us from that big guillotine Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching clear blue skies Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, fight! [Verse 2] Veterans who've trained through struggles are now officers in battle Here and there, we see the harlots in procession This one, that one, doesn't matter, every single person gathers March on to our saintly deaths now! 1, 2, 3, 4 [Pre-Chorus 2] Passing through the gates on the mountain peaks Escaping this world, kill all the evil fiends Surely this will end in a denouement Among the crowds giving their applause [Chorus] Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice, keep what I say in mind This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Looking down at us from that big guillotine Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching peaks of hope Go ahead, keep shooting, use the flashing bolt! [Pre-Chorus] On the train tracks, running along the line Let us move forward, don't look behind Boys and girls becoming like samurai Just like those from our previous life [Outro] Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice, keep what I say in mind That bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Leaping down to us from that big guillotine Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Once your song can be heard, we'll dance with all our might This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, lead

You never really realize how sad it is in Japanese cause its so upbeat....

This is my most favorite cover of Senbonzakura.

The Meiji Restoration and the following cultural revolution, mainly Western Technology; Japanese Ideals, has always been one of the most fascinating events in human history. How an island nation went from total isolationism to being the leading Asian power within a generation. This song does a great job of emulating the optimism of the young and old who embraced the changing world around them. While the older generations are sad to see their time old traditions be pushed aside, they encourage the younger Japanese people to move forward. Meanwhile, the younger generations do not simply forget the traditions of old, but evolve them to fit the modern world. Overall, a great song on its own, made better by the way it handles the time period it portrays.

why is the japanese version so hardcore and this is so slow and sweet

Ahhh! You sung my English lyrics so much better than I did. This makes me so incredibly happy, you don't even know. Thank you so much for using them, Lizz!! Keep doing what you do.

When I saw this I literally screamed. My mom freaked out since we were in the middle of dinner. This is one of my favorite songs but no one can ever get the English version just right. Thank you for making it happen! This cover was gorgeous!!

I listened to this song a lot in 2020. Lines about "Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know" and "we are still far away from reaching clear blue skies" really fit my mood back then.

My eyes: reads lyrics My ears: listening My hands: scrolling My mouth: silent My brain: Bankai. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

When a translated song taught me more than a World History lesson that lasted an hour...

ICBM: An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a guided ballistic missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi) primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear warheads). Well.... that made the whole thing so much darker...

My top 5 favourite Lizz Robinett's songs: 1: Senbonzakura 2: Daughter of evil 3: Servant of evil 4: Hide and Seek 5: Bad Apple

Is it "Iron poisoned, See" Or "Iron poisoned sea" Last bit makes more sense to me, seeing as how the sea around Japan was poisoned with iron....

Hi everyone! The download link should be working now! Sorry about that~

Love love love Senbonzakura ♥♥♥ Your soft voice and perfect harmonies matche so well with this song ; v ;

Everytime I hear 'We'll dance with all our might' I think of ten.. ten... Nezukos dad- dancing..

Japan: Makes this song about keeping your culture from the Americans. America: Assimilates this song and makes English versions. Japan:

OH MY GOD WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? FIRST RACHIE WITH RASPBERRY MONSTER NOW LIZZ WITH SENBONZAKURA AND JUBY WITH PATCHWORK STACCATO I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW

(Thank you for all your kind words! Lizz's cover was already a blessing, but all these words really put a smile on my face. Thank you so much!) I get a new amazing cover on my birthday! Yay! It is cheering me up a lot because my mom is just lecturing me on my birthday. It seems like this year my family forgot it was my birthday... again! It seems the only reason why my mom remembers is because OTHER people remind her. I feel so depressed... Worse. Birthday. Ever. 😩😭

すごいな。うまくメロディと合っててこれはこれでカッコいい！

The comments are teaching me more than my school '-' Edit: wow this blew up lol,

Ive been listing to the real version for so long. That when i herd these lyrics i couldn't believe it was such a beautiful song.

Yesterday I was literally hoping you would do a cover of this, and then I see this in my recommendations and I flip out

千本櫻 作詞：黒うさP 作曲：黒うさP 編曲：黒うさP 唱：初音ミク With a bold and sudden calling Western Revolution's starting Let our hearts be open to it Pacifist nation Riding on a penny farthing It's the flag of our sun rising Warding evil spirits like an ICBM On the train tracks,running along the line Let us move forward.

Before I was like: it’s an Vocaloid song *But now it’s a World War 2 song* Edit: Fixed the comment, srry about that-

No matter how much I watch this, I can't get over those sleeves.

4:42 is my favorite part, it's so soft and sweet I...I- damn it *sniffs*

This has been my favorite song to play on the piano for the last couple months. Now learning the lyrics and the meaning has left me in shock. I would say it’s still one of my favorite ballads ever heard, absolute chills.

This song sparked my interest in Japanese history lol

I doubt that you'll see this, but this song really helped me out of a dark spot. Thank you.

Play this at my funeral.

This song is so peaceful It helps me relax to drown out all the stress so thank you Lizz

Anybody else come here from Spotify. I was listening to music in Spotify then suddenly this song came on and I was like...................................................... D A M N N N this is so good

If you start it a x2 speed, and decrease it at certain times, it can actually tell a story. Try it: Start: x2 speed (just the intro) _Propaganda for the war begins, people stir and are excited to join the fight!_ First verse and chorus: x1.5 speed _They start on their way to march in battle, with high hopes that they will soon taste justice_ Second verse and chorus: x1.25 speed _The war is beginning to get harder for the troops, and lives have been taken. However, regardless, the troops keep their hopes and heads high. They continue to march forward, and press on, knowing that, soon, the war will end_ Ending bridge and chorus: x1.0 speed _The enemy begins to flood them. The lose rations, supplies, and many men. Families lose their loved ones, and many casualties have been left in the wake of this war. The soldiers remember how they truly believed they would win this war, and the families they left behind. They even caught faint glimpses of happiness and hope in their reflections back then. They now see that, regardless of what they've done, what they could have done, it doesn't matter now. The war has ended, and they have lost_

to be honest with you, Lizz... This is the most beautiful thing I have listened to in a very long time ! You are, without a doubt, one of the most talented and skilled artists on this platform !

This has so quickly become a top favorite English cover of anime/Japanese songs.

This song has an incredibly calming and reflective effect. I've been listening to it since its release, and even today, I find the melody and how the lyrics were well adapted in the English cover to be amazing. Thank you very much, Lizz Robinett 🌸🎵💾

An everlasting... Smile. Hopeless feelings drawn from our hearts, a little and sweet laugh breaks the mold of silence. In truth lies a joy and bitter honey made with our bindings that keep us grounded. That which shackled people through a pride of emotion forgets the window on the other side of the hourglass. A single moment of life, lost in the lust of the hearts love for all to see when... She smiles for herself.

I just realized I'm listening to this more then a year later then this was uploaded xD Such a beautiful cover, made me cry to be honest...

Just heard your cover on a webtoon called "Phantom Paradise" Ep. 58 I thought it was great

I absolutely love how high and light your voice was for this song. It's like the wind carrying a leaf through the sky and never letting it fall.

This is beautiful! I love it and I even showed it to my older sister, and she loved it too! Considering she hates Japan and vocaloid this is the start of a new community! (My mom is even considering letting me sing this on the voice I can die happy now)

sounds heavenly

it is tradition to listen to song at least once every day

The side of history we don't typically hear about (at least not here in America)

Yoo notification squad, what's up! (amazing cover btw 👏 )

i'm litteraly never gonna get bored of this song

As a writer, when I hear a song I get so many ideas. this is one of the short story ideas I had whilst listening to this English cover. slight tw~ a grandmother, watching over her children from the heavens with cherry blossoms in her hair. one of her granddaughters, sakura, is struggling. she starts having..dark..thoughts, her mind turns to..that. the grandmother screams from the heavens. she runs to the gods and begs them to give her a blessing, they don't listen. she begs and begs and finally, a darkness god makes a deal with her. "I shall save your granddaughter, but to a cost. your soul, I'd like it" he smirked evilly at the grand woman's face. she eagerly nodded. she had one request, 'of course' the darkness god said with sarcastic empathy. "grant me one more wish, and my soul is yours. let me go down to earth one more time, just as a voice." he nodded. the granddaughter, standing on the train tracks, a train speeding down toward her. she heard her grandmother's words and jumped out of the way of the train. she lived on a euphoric life, she found a great, loving husband and had 3 great kids who were successful all throughout their life. her eldest son became a famous Japanese singer. her eldest daughter became a famous writer and her youngest daughter became a scholar computer scientist. but at what cost? the grandmother smiled as the god of darkness ripped her soul from her chest. you may be wondering, what were those words the grandmother said to sakura? **"I love you, Sakura."** haha, not one of my best but I tried heh

Easily one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

"pacifist nation" Well, that idea certainly lasted a good 30 years

Its hard to not cry while already smiling & listening to this

I was listening to fast-paced, combative music and this plays? Is this what it’s like when fighting is over, the adventure concludes, and you’re finally home?

it's kinda ironic how this is being sung in English..a Western language..

I never knew I needed this until I heard it!! It's so beautiful! Senbonzakura is trully the most iconic song for Miku and your ballad version of it trully amazing

Your voice is very similar like Hatsune Miku from Japan. I very like it. Thank you for the cover into English.

let's hope that the ICBM demon never returns ❤️🌍❤️🌎❤️🌏❤️

Oddly enough, the saddest line in this song to me is "western revolution's starting." I feel this way because it reminds me that many places are starting to lose their own culture and starting to follow western culture. I fear that in a few hundred years all individual culture may be gone

You're voice is so beautifull! :3

This song is very beautiful. It makes me feel like someone is healing my soul from all the negativity.

lizz has the most soothing voice ever. change my mind

all my favourite anime songs are covered by Lizz Robinett - Senbonzakura -History Maker ( WHERE'S SEASON 2) -The Spinning Song -Hide and Seek -Bad Apple THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I was washing the dishes listening to edgy songs, then this played. I thought to myself, "What the heck?" ... Now I'm in love with it.

オリジナルの日本語では古の言葉を使っているので日本人の私でも歌詞がよくわからず聞いていたけど歌詞の意味を知ったときはもっとすきになった💞

This sounds like the tragic scene in an anime/video game/whatever of the semimajor character dying in the player's arms.

Personally, I usually don’t like covers in other languages (except the original obviously), but this... I can’t express how I feel when I listen your voice, cause yes, it’s sweet, beautiful and deep, but the way that you sing this song with so much feeling it’s amazing. I’m so happy for finding your cover, thank you so much.

Beautiful. You sing awesome!!

this music give me the vibe

This is the kind of music that lets myself wrap around the words like a blanket. The lyrics give me a vibe that makes me want to go back in history and see what it was like during Japan's Cultural Revolution.

Been hitting ' replay ' button all over again . Oh no , I'm addicted xD that voice omgg . makes me calm

I LOVE IT-- *Dies of happiness* But seriously, this is such a wonderful cover, the voice is so soothing. I could have this as my lalluaby, I love it so much. Especially the lyrics, I just can't explain it with wprds, that's how good it is! Well I can with numbers. 100,000,000,000/10

This has become a comfort song for me. Thank you for your cover!

Good job translating and having it flow so well. Such a good song. So crazy how it started

Holy shit, this is beautiful. It's so peaceful and relaxing while also an amazing cover of the original song???

How to teach Japan's history, in a more fun way! And less boring, cause you'll wanna replay it.. I love this cover so much i downlaoded it!

This song is so soothing and emotional. You are an amazing artist!

This songs honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened too
