Our Mission

On April 22, the official Sakura Revolution website announced that they would be shutting the service down on June 30. Once the servers go dark, the app will effectively become a piece of lost media, one of many failed smartphone games that was quickly shunted from the universe’s collective memory. The entirety of Taisho 100 would basically cease to exist, outside of a random smattering of YouTube videos, the Internet Archive, and maybe a few older fans’ collective memories.

The easy thing to do would be to bury this game and move on, to pretend it didn’t exist, and just look forward to whatever may come our way in the future. But, well, that’s the thing. We’re Sakura Wars fans. Giving up isn’t exactly our style. We’ve seen this beloved franchise fall into near-death once already, and we are not content with letting it happen again.

Enter the Sakura Revolution Archival Project. This is a fan-centric effort, backed by The Combat Revue Review in every official capacity, to archive as much of Sakura Revolution: Hanasaku Otome-tachi as possible before the servers go dark.

In the game, we’ll be screenshotting and capturing video of everything we can – dialogue screencaps, video archives, audio archives, and basically compiling as full of an archive as we can, to supplement the offline version of Sakura Revolution.

For real-world items, we’ll be scouring the official website for files, scraping Twitter for images, and archiving whatever official video content we can retrieve from Delightworks and Sega’s accounts, as well as the official Sakura Revolution YouTube channel.

All of this will be properly cataloged and archived. Once complete, the archive will be distributed to the Internet Archive, and to every single outlet that is willing to keep a version of the files available.
