桜ノ雨 (Sakura no Ame)

Background
"It's a song I made for my best, so I am glad to be able to touch everyone in this way! I hope her girlfriend will have a pleasant school life as long as Miku Hatsune, a 16-year-old girl, lives in modern times. And on the last day, what is she thinking and what will she sing? From that kind of thought, this song was born. I want you to feel something for the students who care for themselves as the various social problems swirl. Even those who become adults and who have gone away from graduation, I want you to recall something by looking back on your own memories. Such wishes are also included. This song was born from the thought. Do you have anything to regret? Live for each "moment" which never returns!"
