CD Warning

If you play the disc on a CD player other than a Sega Saturn, a warning featuring the voice of Sakura Shinguji will play.

Sakura: "Dear esteemed guests, when visiting us at the Grand Imperial Theater, we ask that you play this CD on a Sega Saturn. If you play this on any other device, not only will you be unable to reach the Grand Imperial Theater, but you might break your precious CD player as well. This was Sakura Shinguji, on behalf of the Imperial Revue!"
