I was reading this thread with my new Sakura in hand. I am 99% sure it is the exact one Nathan C had. LOL. Either that or 2 of them were anodized exactly the same.
I love the throw! Super stable and fast. I like how the rounded rim feels in my hand. I think it is underrated as a throw. I like it much more then my Summit!

Got mine today. Absolutely love it. Tied with my Code 1 for my favorite One Drop. I’ve noticed some side effect throws kind of have a certain feel to them, like you can notice the increased center weight, but not at all with the Sakura SE, honestly can’t even tell, which is pretty neat. Definitely similar in play to the Sakura - that great floaty, smooth feel - but also a bit different with the C bearing and SEs. Got the hair band color which is really unique, wish it had slightly less black, but it’s a nice color when spinning and not too dark, and also the color really makes the rim engravings pop, so overall super satisfied. Came in the ILYY pouch with a One Drop button.

Side Effects don’t add extra center weight fti. Glad you dig it 
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
           
          
            
            
              One year later…I actually did not like the Sakura SE. It looked beautiful however.
