Sakurazaka46 6th Anniversary Project
Project Overview
Hello! This year Sakuzaka Central is back with another Anniversary Project for Sakurazaka46!
To celebrate Sakurazaka46’s 6th Anniversary, we invite Buddies from around the world to join our special photo project!
Take a photo of yourself holding our 6th Anniversary message sign somewhere in your country. It can be at a famous landmark, around your city, in nature, or anywhere you like!
Photos from Buddies around the world will be brought together to create one large Photo Mosaic, as well as a special 6th Anniversary video to be shared on social media.
How To Participate
- Choose one of our three A4 templates:
- Ready-to-Use Template — Simply add your name and country.
- Color-Your-Own Template — Color and decorate the sakura yourself, then add your name and country.
- Draw-Your-Own Sakura Template — Draw your own sakura in the provided space, then add your name and country.

2. Print the template on A4 paper.
Color printing is recommended, but feel free to add your own personal touch depending on the template you choose.
3. Take your photo somewhere in your country.
Choose any background you like! It could be a landmark, a city view, nature, your neighborhood, or anywhere that represents where you are.
Photo Guidelines
- Please take your photo in landscape orientation.
- Please submit an individual photo only. Group photos will not be accepted.
- Position yourself roughly around the center of the photo.
- Make sure the A4 sign is clearly visible.
- Showing your face is optional! Please understand that if you choose to show your face in the picture(s), we will not censor it in the final version. You can also use the A4 sign to cover your face–feel free to do as you like 🙂
- Please leave some space around yourself so that the background is visible.
- Feel free to include your Sakurazaka46 merch, oshi goods, towels, plushies, etc. in the photo, as long as you can still hold the sign and keep it clearly visible.
- Please make sure the photo is clear and bright enough. Avoid blurry or very dark photos.
- Please avoid heavy filters or edits.
- Please submit the highest-quality original image available in JPG or PNG format.
- Each person may submit 1–3 photos. You are welcome to use different locations or backgrounds for each photo.
We will also provide a sample photo showing the recommended position, framing, and approximate distance.
Online Campaign: Post The Photos on Your Social Media!
Celebrate the upcoming Sakurazaka46 “6th YEAR ANNIVERSARY LIVE” by posting your pictures with the A4 template on your social media, such as X or TikTok!

Let’s celebrate Sakurazaka’s Anniversary and have fun with your fellow Buddies mutuals, wherever you are!
About the Photo Mosaic
Our minimum goal for the photo mosaic is to collect 108 photos from Buddies around the world:
12 photos × 9 rows = 108 photos
If we receive more submissions, our next goal will be:
16 photos × 12 rows = 192 photos
Depending on the total number of submissions, we may select which photos will be included in the final Photo Mosaic and/or video.
Please be mindful that Sakuzaka Central will have rights to choose the pictures, and submitting multiple photos does not guarantee that every photo will be used.
Submission
Please submit your photo(s) through our Google Form.
Submission Period: November 7 (Sat) to November 22 (Mon)
Deadline: November 22 (Mon), 11:59 PM JST
By submitting your photo, you agree that it may be cropped or resized as necessary for the Photo Mosaic, video, and related project materials for the 6th Anniversary. Upon completion of the project, all submitted photos will be permanently deleted and will not be retained or used for any other purpose.
Our Goal
Through this project, we hope to bring together Buddies from different countries and places into one celebration and show how far Sakurazaka46 has continued to bloom beyond borders over these six years.
Let’s celebrate Sakurazaka46’s 6th Anniversary together!
