Characters
Itsuki Saijo (voiced by Mayu Yoshioka)
A 15-year old girl who is a big fan of the Imperial Theater.
Itsuki loves both the Theater and the main-performing Flower Group. She visits the theater day and night whenever she has free time and interacts a lot with theater staff and other visitors. Her hobby is collecting theater merchandise, and she does her best day and night to collect every memorabilia from both old and new Flower Groups. She also considers the protagonist Seijuro Kamiyama as a rival on collecting bromide portraits.
Hiromi Hongo (voiced by Haruka Terui)
Clerk of the confectionery store Mikazuki, 22 years old.
Many customers visit the store only to see Hiromi's warm smile and kind demeanor. Although she normally sells Japanese sweets as a clerk, she is also sincerely working to develop new products. The trial products that she created would sometimes trigger mysterious phenomena and end up becoming subjects of fear.
Stage Shows
As the Imperial Revue members also perform in the Imperial Theater, they train their acting skills and hold public performances during peaceful days. You will be able to watch these stage shows with anime cutscenes that are to be played at certain points in the game.
- Momotaro
This show is performed in the first chapter. Sakura plays the role of the hero Momotaro, Hatsuho as the Ogre, and Claris as the Monkey. At this point, Sakura still doesn't have much experience in acting yet, and the show equipment is also tattered. It really shows how the Flower Group's stage show is very messy at the beginning of the game. - Danaan's Love
The script for this show is written by Claris. Played to commemorate the recruitment of Anastasia into the Flower Group, she plays the main role while Sakura becomes the heroine. The stage setting in this show is prepared by the scenery staff Reiji Shiba.
