Sakuranbo, meaning cherry in Japanese, is the second single by Japanese singer Ai Otsuka, released in December 2003. The upbeat love song became one of her signature hits in Japan, known for its simple repeating chorus and joyful call and response ending. Its popularity led to a special encore version in 2005 and lasting karaoke and television performances. Decades later the chorus resurfaced on social media and soundboards, where its short, catchy hook made it ideal for sharing as a standalone clip.
