The song "Senbonzakura" has been removed from every Korean version of the Project Diva games. The song makes many references to war and the revamping of the Japanese nation during the end of the 1800s, of which both Japan and Korea were feuding at that time. Even today, tensions still exist between both regions and the song was deemed too controversial for Korean audiences.
