Introduction:
The Summer 2026 music calendar marks a historic milestone for the Sakamichi Series. On June 10, 2026, Sakurazaka46 (櫻坂46) officially released the digital Special Edition of their 15th double A-side single, “Lonesome rabbit / What’s ‘KAZOKU’?,” the first-ever double A-side single in the history of the Sakamichi groups.
This groundbreaking release features two lead tracks centered on Hikaru Morita (森田ひかる) of the 2nd Generation, marking her first time leading a title track since the 11th single “UDAGAWA GENERATION” (February 2025). Both songs have been pre-released digitally in the weeks leading up to the physical launch, and the Special Edition now brings the complete single experience to streaming platforms worldwide.
The Double A-Side: Two Sides of Sakurazaka46’s 6th Year:
“Lonesome rabbit” Embracing Vulnerability with Strength
The title “Lonesome rabbit” evokes the image of a solitary creature, delicate yet resilient. The song is described as expressing the strength to accept one’s weaknesses and live proudly. The music video, directed by Shinbo Takuto (his first MV for Sakurazaka46), depicts a world where fantasy expands into reality, with furniture moving freely, members buried in mattresses, and dreamlike scenes that blur the line between imagination and reality.
Why “Lonesome rabbit / What’s ‘KAZOKU’?” Matters:
1. The First Sakamichi Double A-Side
This single is the first-ever double A-side in the history of the Sakamichi Series (Nogizaka46, Sakurazaka46, Hinatazaka46, Yoshimotozaka46) . This format choice signals Sakurazaka46’s willingness to innovate within the franchise’s established structures.
2. Hikaru Morita’s Return to Center
Morita last centered the 11th single “UDAGAWA GENERATION” (February 2025). Her return to the front position for both A-sides demonstrates management’s confidence in her leadership as the group enters its 6th year.
3. The 4th Generation’s Introduction
The Individual PVs on TYPE-A and TYPE-B Blu-rays serve as the formal introduction of the 4th Generation members, the first new members to join since the 3rd Generation in 2021. For fans learning about these members for the first time, these videos are an essential resource.
4. A Milestone for 3rd Generation Members
Several 3rd Generation members appear in the senbatsu for the first time, including Riko Endo (center of “Coin Laundry”), Rei Ozawa, and Mio Matono. This single marks their elevation from BACKS to full senbatsu participation.
5. The Anime Connection
“What’s ‘KAZOKU’?” represents Sakurazaka46’s first anime theme song since their rebranding from Keyakizaka46. The partnership with Mission: Yozakura Family, a popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga, exposes the group to a broader audience beyond traditional idol fans.
Conclusion:
Sakurazaka46’s “Lonesome rabbit / What’s ‘KAZOKU’? (Special Edition)” is a landmark release that captures the group at a pivotal moment in their evolution. As the first double A-side single in Sakamichi Series history, the release demonstrates the group’s willingness to push boundaries while honoring their artistic identity.
The two title tracks offer complementary visions of Sakurazaka46: “Lonesome rabbit” explores the strength found in vulnerability, while “What’s ‘KAZOKU’?” celebrates the warmth of connection and belonging. Together, they represent the duality that has defined the group since their rebranding from Keyakizaka46: the tension between darkness and light, solitude and community, struggle and celebration.
For longtime fans who have followed the group since their “SILENT MAJORITY” days, this single is a testament to their continued evolution. For newcomers, it serves as an invitation into the world of a group that has spent six years refining their sound, their image, and their connection to fans.
