Back in May, Sega trademarked “Sakura Wars B.L.A.C.K.” Given the trademark, the involvement of Sakura Wars series’ composer Kouhei Tanaka, and the theme of performance and fighting for Japan in the “B.L.A.C.K.” group’s description, it is very likely that Project “B.L.A.C.K.” is “Sakura Wars B.L.A.C.K.”
Stay tuned.
