Set in Tokyo, Sakura Taisen: Kanadegumi centers on Kanadegumi, an imperial opera company, and on a girl named Miyabi Neko as she interacts with five attractive young men. This single music-focused OVA from 2012 came packaged with a limited first edition of Shimada Chie's Sakura Taisen: Kanadegumi manga. It belongs to the Sakura Wars franchise, which began as a line of dating simulation and tactical role-playing games made mainly for male players. Earlier entries told alternate-history stories about all-female mechanized squads who staged musicals to keep their secret cover.
