"10nen Sakura" (10年桜, Jūnen Zakura, "10-year Cherry Blossom", "10th Graduation Anniversary") is the 11th major single by the Japanese idol group AKB48, released on March 4, 2009.[1]

It's a school graduation song.

The single peaked at number 3 in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[2]

10 years after the song was released, as well as the same day, the other center and now graduate, Atsuko Maeda, gave birth to her son. Some of the fans jokingly said that they had named Sakura/Zakura in commemoration of the anniversary.
