Hoshino Sakura

As is customary in Japan, the last name precedes the given name, so we know this fan of the triple exclamation mark as Sakura, the Japanese for cherry blossom. In Kanji her name is written as 星野 æ¡œ. Sakura hails from Tokyo and joined the Readers Recommend community in February 2011. Her favourite musical artists include Love Psychedelico, The Brilliant Green, YUI, Stereopony, Kawashima Ai and almost any J-Pop and K-Pop. Her first A Lister was Last Flight by Ariakane for the topic of Futility in October 2011. One of Sakura’s claims to fame is that she was the very first volunteer guru from the RR community taking the reins for Rabbits on 23 August 2012.
