Kawaii Sakura

Kawaii Sakura, consisting of 5 sexy sakura petals, is the crazy, happy, energetic punk rock band from Malacca the historical city. They don't play by the rules, and play the music they love as hard and fast as they want.

The band was found by Mai who was seeking bandmates to play for the Games and Anime Comic Circle (GACC) in March of 2008. She initially thought of just playing guitar, but because of a lack of vocalists willing to memorize Japanese lyrics (apa boleh buat, Melaka is small...), Mai offered to sing in Japanese alongside playing lead guitar, without any Japanese language background. She still hopes to find a permanent ROCKING vocalist that has the energy to run around the stage and jump around like orang gila. The rest of the band consists of Jian (guitar), KinWee (bassist, replacing their ex-bassist Dong who went to further his studies in Australia), Ice (drums), and Zane (vocals and keyboard).

Why Kawaii Sakura? Is this name stupid? Is this name cute? Or is it cacat? Everyone has their own opinion & that's what they want. They want to prove that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover because despite the cutesy nooby name, Kawaii Sakura always kicks ass on stage!
Everyone will have different feelings watching Kawaii Sakura play but they will definitely be entertained. Some will like them, some will think they're weird, and some will even say they tipu. But those 5 crazy sakura petals don't care! All they want to do, is rock out and play the music they love.
