Are you refering to the old OVA series, the new OVA series, or the TV
series ?

If you like the songs, you should try the Sakura Taisen Kayou Show LD/DVD,
currently up to the third showing.  They change the hand sign of the
"Geki!..
..." song this year, I still not manage to follow ^_^;;.  Looking forward to
the fourth showing next summer : Arabian Rose.

Hm, I just want to know your reaction to the infamous ep.25 & 26.

Then you must be watching either the first or second OVA series.  Lune Venus
is a major character in the TV series.

From this statement, I think you are watching the first OVA series.
