Hatsune Miku's famous song "Sakura no Ame" recently announced that it will be filmed as a live-action movie based on the novel version, and it will be released this year!

"Sakura no Ame" is a song created by halyosy in 2008 using the sound synthesis software "Hatsune Miku". Since the song was uploaded to the online video website "niconico animation", the song has been played more than 25 million times, becoming a hit song among Hatsune Miku's original songs. Because the song is touching and popular, more than 200 Japanese middle schools sang the song at their graduation ceremonies in the spring of 2009 and 2010, thus establishing the song as a famous graduation song. According to the author, since Hatsune Miku's official setting is a 16-year-old girl, he associated it with the scene of Hatsune Miku attending a high school graduation ceremony and used this as inspiration to create the song.

"Sakura Rain" ranked third in the 2013 Japanese national graduation song ranking survey, and ranked fourteenth in the 2014 Sakura theme song ranking. From the above ranking data, it can be seen that "Sakura Rain" has become a well-known golden song in the minds of Japanese people. In 2009, the student video production group "Tetra Film" also shot a micro-film with "Sakura Rain" as the theme, telling a touching graduation story.

As for the live-action movie this time, the producers said that it will be adapted from the storyline of the novel version of "Sakura no Ame". The novel version of "Sakura no Ame" was written by Hitomi Amamiya and published in 2012. The series has sold a total of 200,000 copies so far.

Halyosy, the creator of "Sakura no Ame" and the original author of the novel, expressed surprise and anticipation about the filming of the live-action movie. "This year, there should be many schools that sang "Sakura no Ame" at graduation ceremonies. This song has been released for seven years. The students who sang this song at the high school graduation ceremony in the first year should have entered the society and become pillars of society. Whenever I think of this, I have to sigh that time flies. This song "Sakura no Ame" was created by all of us, and it contains the history of you and me. When I first heard the news of the filming of the live-action movie, I also felt unbelievable, until I received the exact script, I finally felt relieved (laughs). This song originated from my delusion 'If Hatsune Miku was a high school student...' I don't know what kind of movie it will be made into, and I am looking forward to it just like everyone else!"
