General Information

Sakura no Hanabiratachi is AKB48's Debut Single. For the selection of this single, Akimoto Yasushi (AKB48's Producer) asked the first fans who went regularly to the AKB48 Theater which song they liked the most (both songs in this single (as well as the songs in Skirt, Hirari) are originally A1 songs) and apparently, Sakura no Hanabiratachi was a clear winner.

All the Original Team A members have declared how important this song is to them, in the same way fans and the future generations of AKB members hold a really special place for this song in their hearts.

2 years later, a self-cover of this single was released titled Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008.

Trivia

• In 2010, an special Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2010 was made but the titled was changed later on. The reason given was that the special version was just going to be sung in a TV show and apparently there were no plans to release or sing this new version in the future.
