[Sakura Wars BGM] Sakura Wars Masterpieces and Popular Songs (21–30)
Bell of MiraclesTanaka Kouhei
The girls who serve as combatants in the Sakura Wars series also lead double lives as members of a musical theater troupe.
One of their musical numbers is “Miracle Bell,” which appeared as a song in the Christmas opera in Sakura Wars 2: Thou Shalt Not Die.
It also stands on its own as a well-crafted Christmas song and was chosen as the opening theme for the film Sakura Wars: The Movie.
You, oh flowerTanaka Kouhei
This is the ending song of the fourth installment in the popular game series Sakura Wars, Sakura Wars 4: Fall in Love, Maidens.
Due to circumstances such as the discontinuation of the Dreamcast, the hardware platform, and the fact that this is the last title to feature Ichiro Ogami—the protagonist since the first game—in the lead role, the music has a grand, series-concluding feel.
Centered around narration by Akio Suyama, who plays Ichiro Ogami, this track is guaranteed to move players who are deeply attached to the series to tears.

The first animated adaptation of the popular Sakura Wars game series was the OVA Sakura Wars: Ouka Kenran, released in 1997.
The insert song featured in it is Sakura, performed by the main character, Sakura Shinguji.
Lyricist Oji Hiroi and composer Kohei Tanaka took on the challenge of creating a traditional Japanese shoka with this piece, resulting in a song that brings out the beauty of the Japanese language.
For the Imperial Capital…Tanaka Kouhei
In the original Sakura Wars, the track used in the latter-half battle scenes is “For the Imperial Capital…”.
After the new armament “Jinbu,” used by the characters in the game, is completed, the regular battle theme switches from the original to this one as a stylistic choice.
It’s a fiery, quintessential battle BGM that’s highly regarded among gamers.
Wholesome Teigeki LifeTanaka Kouhei
The popular game Sakura Wars is set in the fictional “Taisho era,” and this track uniquely blends a real Taisho Romance ambience with techno elements.
It was used as the BGM when moving around inside the Grand Imperial Theater that appears in the story.
In contrast to the tense battle scenes, it has a heartwarming feel—just as the title suggests.
Future (Voyage)Tanaka Kouhei
In Sakura Wars 3: Is Paris Burning?, the third installment in the Sakura Wars series, the story shifts from Japan, the setting of the previous titles, to Paris, France, as the title suggests.
“Mirai (Voyage)” is the ending theme, a song about the protagonist’s farewell to the people of Paris.
As the French word “voyage” suggests, the song centers on the theme of setting out on a journey.
Flower of ParisTanaka Kouhei
Hana no Paris was produced as an insert song for the third installment of the Sakura Wars series, Sakura Wars 3: Is Paris Burning?.
It was also released as a single as the B-side to the theme song Under the Imperial Flag.
As the title suggests, it’s a track with a lively, joyful rhythm that seems to pack the glamorous atmosphere of the city of Paris straight into the music.
