Trivia

 * In this post by Sakura's voice actor, Sally Amaki, Sally comments about how she had a similar experience regarding her grandmother where she once witnessed her grandmother collapse and was sent to the hospital. Although her grandmother was fine, the memory stuck with her and Sally cried multiple times during the recording of the scene with Sakura and her grandmother in the hospital. Despite this, Sally eventually recorded a take where she didn't cry because during the incident she herself didn't cry and was more in shock, which she wanted to convey in the scene.
 * Sakura's American residence is based on Sally's own home in America.
