VIDEO: J-rock, Traditional Instruments, and Vocaloid Song Collide in "Senbonzakura" PV

The breakout hit Hatsune Miku song "Senbonzakura" (translated as “A Thousand Cherry Blossoms”), which racked up millions of views and became a karaoke hit back in 2011, gets a stunning musical makeover via a new promotion video by WagakkiBand, which mixes up rock music and traditional Japanese instruments (such as shamisen, koto, and shakahachi flute) to ear-pleasing effect. Prepare yourself for a rockin' cherry blossom season by watching the impressive clip below!
