Overview
Sakura Fubuki is a Drumstep BMS (Be-Music Source) track by Street, a Japanese DTM composer recognized for blending harmonic chords and melodic structures into his productions. The song was originally entered in the 大血戦 -THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE- (BOFU2015) competition, where it finished 4th overall, an accomplishment that helped propel it into multiple commercial rhythm games. Its music video (BGA) was created by the duo アーモンド王子とプリン姫 (Almond Prince and Princess Purin), whose Japanese-aesthetic visuals match the track's fusion of heavy drumstep beats with traditional-sounding melodic motifs.
The song made its maimai debut in MURASAKi on February 14, 2017, a natural fit given MURASAKi's own Japanese-themed presentation. Within the maimai series, it has been classified under GAME & VARIETY (ゲーム&バラエティ), with a brief period in maimai でらっくす where it was listed as VARIETY before reverting. The Expert chart was designed by Jack and the Master chart by Revo@LC, the latter demanding a dense 678 notes across a 1:54 runtime at a steady 175 BPM (roughly 357 notes per minute). Beyond maimai, Sakura Fubuki has appeared in CHUNITHM, ONGEKI, Arcaea, Dynamix, Muse Dash, SOUND VOLTEX, and Zyon, making it one of the more widely licensed BMS exports from the BOFU2015 lineup.
