AGSMA at Project Akon 1999 The Sakura Wars
Sakura Taisen. Sometimes better known as the Sakura Wars.
Known to be a popular action/dating simulation game in Japan
An OAV has been made from it, and plenty of merchandise.
With the elaborate character design and costumes,
how could we turn away from cosplaying the Sakura Wars.

Dark Stage
Music: Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan karaoke version
Sakura is onstage first, and spins a few times to hold a pose.
Sumire appears next, with one spin and her Nagitana.
Kohran marches on stage, readies her bazooka and fires....backwards.
Oogami struts on stage, and trips, and tries to cover up.
Aoi Satan lurks in the distance.
Sakura is singing the first verse of the song while Sumire, Kohran, and Oogami watch from slightly upstage and to the side of her. Sumire gets irritated that Sakura is singing (and not her of course) so she heads over to grab the mike out of Sakura's hand and sing the last line of the first verse.
|
|
Oogami sensing the danger of the situation, with Kohran's advice, follows Sumire over to where Sakura and Sumire are, and gets in the middle of their battling/arguing. Sumire and Sakura yank and pull on Oogami each whining to him and accusing him, claiming that they should be the ones to sing. All the while, Aoi Satan is sneaking around stage. |
|
Sakura: Ano...Sumire-san...I was supposed to sing that part...
Sumire: Excuse me Sakura-san?
Sakura: I was trying to sing...
Sumire: Well, I hate to break it to you Sakura-san...but we all know who has the better voice here.
Sakura: What? But...I'm supposed to sing that part.
Sumire: I don't even know how you ended up singing in the first place!
Sakura: Sumire-san, I was SINGING!
Sumire: Well, I'm SORRY but I'm just BETTER than you!
Sakura: I'M SUPPOSED TO SING!!!
(here comes Oogami to break up the fight--poor Oogami)
Sakura: Oogami-san! Aren't I supposed to sing that part?
Sumire: (grabs Oogami's tie) Oogami-san I want to sing that part!
Sakura: I'm supposed to sing it!
Sumire: Oogami-san you said I could sing that part!
Sakura: What? That's not what you said when we went on that walk last night!
Sumire: Last night!!?? What happened last night!? Oogami-san!
Sakura: Oogami-san!
Sumire: I want to sing!
Sakura: Who gets to sing!?

While Oogami, Sakura and Kohran are distracted, Aoi Satan takes this chance to attack. However Kohran is the first to notice him, as she points scared trying to get the others attention, Aoi quickly grabs her in a hostage position in front of him, putting his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. Oogami notices him soon after Kohran does and is TRYING to get the other 2 girls attention but they are too busy yelling and yanking on him for him to get a word in edgewise! |
|
Kohran bites Aoi's hand, and Aoi subsequently lets go of Kohran (with a very miffed and irritated look on his face) and lets out a yelp. Sumire and Sakura finally notice Aoi and promptly let go of Oogami. They all take a few steps towards Aoi to assume battle positions and away from the mike. Now that Kohran is free, she runs to take position behind Sakura and Sumire with her gun ready.
Hanagumi: We fight for the sake of justice! Even if it means giving our lives. We shall not falter one step from the irradication of evil!!!
Oogami: In other words--My Girls are gonna mop the floor with you!
All the while, Aoi Satan is quite disinterested in their little motto, yawning and re-adjusting his hair. |
|
The music has once again started, Kohran sees this as her chance to get to sing! Kohran sings the first couple of lines of the verse when Sumire and Sakura notice that she singing and forget about Aoi and go over to Kohran and proceed to glare at her, leaving Oogami with the impression that they are still behind him, but in reality he is facing Aoi alone and unarmed and looking like an idiot as he nods his head mockingly at Aoi. Kohran encourages the other two to sing with her and they do at first not too happy about having to share the mike but after a few sung words they start to get into it. And they are really happy about singing together and become totally oblivious as to anything else that happens on the stage.
Meanwhile, Aoi withdraws his wakizashi as Oogami orders his Hanagumi to attack. No Hanagumi attack, they are all singing. Aoi takes his time to unsheath his katana and smirks at Oogami. Oogami sends his hand out and orders for the Hanagumi to attack again. Aoi laughs evilly and motions to Oogami with his swords that he will slit Oogami's throat. Oogami finally takes a look back to see that he has no support and does a really big over-exaggerated kind of "stage" double take while apologizing to Aoi. |
|
With katana in right hand, Aoi slashes down right in front of Oogami who leans back to dodge. Aoi uses the wakizashi in his left hand to stab Oogami who side steps. Aoi uses his right hand katana to slash horizontally at Oogami, who ducks, but quickly follows with a slash to the legs, which Oogami jumps. But as Oogami lands, he looses his footing and lands on his butt. Aoi takes this chance and goes for a power stab into the ground. Oogami backs up just enough to be safe. With his katana stuck in the wood, Oogami dashes for Kohran's gun. Aoi pulls his sword out, but is too late as Oogami has already fired. The blast bounces off Aoi's body, Aoi looks unamused as he casually brushes the dust off from where he was hit. And Aoi continues the attack! A quick slash with Oogami using the gun to block results in the gun falling into two pieces. As a last resort, Oogami points to a location behind Aoi, and Aoi looks to see what is the matter. While distracted Oogami takes this chance to hide. |
|
Aoi looks back and finds out that he has been tricked, with no Oogami in sight, and thus begins to look for his prey. Oogami is frantically looking for a place to hide. Aoi is puzzled at where Oogami has gone off to, and scratches his hair with his katana. But heads towards Oogami's direction. Oogami, knowing that Aoi will surely find him soon, in desparation hides under Sakura's hakama while the trio continues to sing. |
|
Aoi happens upon the singing trio but what is that shaking, shivering thing there near Sakura? As Sakura hits the high note of the song, Oogami comes back out with a nosebleed, complete with tissue. The Hanagumi look on with worried faces at their captain. Aoi Satan realizes that is was Oogami that has just appeared from under Sakura's Hakama, and covers his face, shaking his head. He departs as he deems his opponent not worthy of his time. |
