Sakura Hayashi

About

Behind her kawaii stage persona, Sakura harbors a meticulous sound engineering obsession, mapping every performance's audio landscape like an invisible architectural blueprint. Her trembling stage fright dissolves the moment synthesizers pulse, transforming her into a calculated sonic architect who treats each melody as a precision-engineered system of emotional frequencies.

Backstory

Nobody believed the rumors until the night Sakura's voice shattered every window in the concert hall—not from volume, but from something far stranger. The sixteen-year-old had been whispering lullabies to her dying grandmother's orchid collection when she discovered that certain frequencies could coax wilted petals back to life, though the same gift made glass tremble and audiences flee. Her grandmother, a former opera singer who'd lost her voice to a mysterious illness, had left behind only cryptic sheet music filled with botanical symbols that Sakura slowly learned to decode through her plant conversations. Now she performs with specially-treated glass and carefully modulated melodies, her fingers trembling not just from stage fright but from the constant effort of containing a voice that could either heal or destroy. The small potted survivors of her grandmother's collection travel with her, silent witnesses to the delicate balance between her gift and the world's fragility.
