( note from X: Using this as a scratchpad for whatever scraps of ST information I can get, the info will be disseminated to other pages later, don't bother cleaning it up)
the Littlelip theatre's address is 1540 broadway, new york,(The former Bertelsmann Building), 44-story, 733 foot office tower in Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, standing at West 45th Street.
Il Milione is one of the books Sunnyside and Wong cite as research on the return of Oda Nobunaga.
"A certain part of Sakura Wars 2 confirms the Imperial Troupe alone is a great source of stability. They have war, political and financial power.
Yeah, the fact that they blocked the militarists from taking power then indicates that they'd do the same in the future."
"As for Japan, in Sakura Wars it's still in the Taisho era (spelled slightly differently), which is remembered for its great advancement, strong democratic movements, and general awesomeness. In our world, Taisho was replaced in 1926 with the militant Showa era, which led directly into World War 2. Since Showa hasn't appeared in the games yet, it's a clear sign that Japan has taken a different path in history. The high level of international cooperation between the various Divisions indicates humanity is putting up a united front against demonic invasion."
Shinjiro's Salary for the year 1927 was $5000. ($61,242 in today's money)
Sunnyside owns all the land in Harlem (he leased it back)
Kayama had diplomatic immunity in NY.
Sumire's father's name was Shigeki.
The old police inspector is named "Salt"
Kayama said the role of the Littlelip Theatre was "To share the feelings of deep emotion with Various types of people
and have their emotions become one.....[it] is the miniature copy of the ideal
New York.."
According to Mr. Wong in episode 5 of STV, the STAR units broke open the stagnating field of american steam tech.
And before I forget: In the Tokyo Cultural Arts Center (in the Plaza Metropolitan, Ikebukuro), there were some daikyu (big bows) from Miyazaki Prefecture on display, and they weigh 10kg each. Lesson: Do not think Hanabi is weak.
Ah yes, and Sakura shares her sword technique (the Hokushin Itou Ryu) with plenty of other people
whoever that's deciding which operas the Paris-gumi are putting on has (at least) a sadistic streak in them.
With the exception of Puss in Boots, all of the other 'real' shows are famous tragic operas involving character deaths.
Yeah, In the English DVD booklet they have pictures of Orihime and Reni with the different hair styles. It says that Reni was 8 and Orihime was 10 when they were part of the original Hoshigumi, at least that is what it says in the booklet. So if my math is correct Rachette would have been 11. Yikes they were young, but it works when you look at this picture and see how young Rachette is. Orihime's hair isn't in a braid, but Subaru looks exactly the same as she always did.
the Eisenklied were made by a German inventor who kept improving the machine, so it's more stable then the Koubu-kai.
