"Sakura Goodbye" (SAKURAグッバイ) is the second major single (fifth overall) released by Japanese pop rock band Scandal. It was released in two versions: a limited CD+DVD edition and a regular CD-only edition. The title track was used as the 2009 ending theme for the television show "Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!".[1] "Sakura Goodbye" was formerly called "Sakura" when the band performed it live during their indie days. The song has a graduation theme and the single released at the time of MAMI and TOMOMI's high school graduation.[2] Copies of the single purchased at Tower Records came with a limited bonus sleeve from the band's endorsement for Nike Terminator. The single reached #30 on the Oricon weekly chart and charted for seven weeks, selling 6,995 copies.[3]
