Besides,Is 5800 ごせんはっぱゃく read asごせんはっばゃく？
ごせんはっぴゃく
And for your original question:
千本桜 (せんぼんざくら "senbonzakura") 桜 starts with a voiced ざ (za) instead of its normal さ (sa) because of rendaku (sequential voicing). This happens very often in compound words, so it is very useful to understand about rendaku and other similar sound change phenomina. ^^

some may pronounce it poorly.
for a fact: in japanese they have no L, Q, X,
japanese use listening of a words / letter so they converted some letter that the pronunciation almost the same.
like La => Ra
QU => Ku/ Kiu
etc.
that's why some of the song / subtitles mispronounce / miss write.
but some of japanese sometimes able / sing Ra as La.
for kanji, there will be a change of pronounce sometimes.
example is kanji 大 can be read as tai / dai
大切 = taisetsu
工大 = koudai.
the sound of pronunciation changed.
- *the sound of it Pronunciation is changed depend on where is the kanji located.
- Thank you!They were really confusing to me.
