Morning Musume Sakuragumi (モーニング娘｡ さくら組? , also romanized as Morning Musume Sakura Gumi) is one of the subgroups that divided the Japanese pop group Morning Musume in 2003. Its equivalent to Morning Musume Otomegumi.
The words sakura (さくら?) and gumi[1] (組?) means "cherry blossom" and "group," respectively. If translated in English, the group's name will be "Morning Musume, the Cherry Blossom Group."

[edit] Purpose
Like its counterpart, the sole purpose of Morning Musume Sakuragumi was to perform in small towns that could not hold large concert venues. In addition to touring separately, the group released two singles that embodied the traditional Japanese woman, before they became inactive on spring of 2004.
