Background[]
"Thousand Cherry Blossoms" is an original song by Kurousa-P.
This song is about the westernization of Japan, which happened during the Meiji Restoration. Despite having an upbeat, oriental track, the song contains rather dark themes, mentioning guillotines and ICBMs. In addition, the lyrics state things such as "Songs of lament go unheard" (嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ) and "This is a banquet inside a steel jail cell" (此処は宴 鋼の檻).
To celebrate the song's anniversary, it was re-released along with 8 different arranges in the album 1st ANNIVERSARY! ALL THAT "Senbonzakura" on September 12, 2012.
This song has entered the Hall of Myths and is notable for having stayed in the VOCALOID ranking consistently for a long time. It also exceeded over 62 million YouTube views. Hence, this is Kurousa-P's most notable song. This is currently the most viewed Miku song (original upload) on Niconico, with over 17.5 million views. The next most popular original VOCALOID upload on Niconico is Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru, with 16.9 million views.
