U-Treasure has opened up pre-orders for a ring that draws inspiration from “Senbonzakura,” a very famous song using the Hatsune Miku voicebank. This is the first of three rings that are based on popular Vocaloid songs.
Pre-orders will run until October 24, 2024. You can order it via Animate, the U-Treasure store in Ikebukuro, or the U-Treasure website. U-Treasure offers international shipping so even if you don’t live in Japan, you can purchase the ring. In terms of prices, the acrylic stand for the ring costs 2200 JPY ($15.45) and the ring itself, which uses Silver 925, costs 18,700 JPY ($131.30).
The “Senbonzakura” ring has cherry blossom designs engraved on it. The word “Senbonzakura” is inside the ring and the font is Yozakura. Aside from the word “sakura” being in “Yozakura,” the font also looks like someone wrote it with a brush, which increases the classical Japanese aesthetic. You can also get an acrylic stand for the ring. It features illustrator Shugao’s art of Hatsune Miku holding a cherry blossom branch.
Kurousa-P’s “Senbonzakura” came out in 2011 and went viral after it appeared on NicoNico. Many covers of it exist on the Internet, including one from Wagakki Band. In 2012, karaoke chain Joysound reported that “Senbonzakura” was the third most-sung song in its stores. Even today, the song often appears at concerts and in games.
The U-Treausre “Senbonzakura” ring is available for pre-order until October 24, 2024. U-Treasure will also open up pre-orders for a “Blessing” and “Mahou Shoujo to Chocolate” ring later this year.
