sYokoyama Chisa (Sakura Shinguji) and The Imperial Opera Group$
cThe team's name is a pun -- depending on which kanji is used, 'gekidan' can mean either "attack team" or "theatrical troupe".  Note that the English OVA credits translate 'gekidan' as "attack team" while the song lyric subtitles say "assault unit".$

cHuangpu Jiang ('Yellow Bank River') is the river which passes through Shanghai just before flowing into the Yangtze River; 'Kouhoukou' is the Japanese reading of the name. In the English release of the OVA, this scene was wrongly identified as taking place "near the Bay of Taiwan", which I can't find in any atlas.$
