To continue the Sakura-love from the other thread, here she is singing "Kono Chikyū no Heiwa wo…" a cappella at a recent concert…

Omg thanks Celedam I've been looking for that clip. Sakura's voice is amazing. Her or Reina will never compare to Ai though in that song

[Sohee]

Give Sakura 10 years first, okay? Can't compare her as a beginner to Aichan who was a veteran when they recorded that song.

[321BreakinOut]

No i mean I'm so used (more like consumed ) to Ai in that song that no one else really compares to me Not doubting Sakura sounds good though ~

[Reina]

Tsunku tweeted: Sakura's official colour is Lavender.
(if he's not trolling or joking...)
