Bakumatsu Rock: Ultra Soul

The story is set in the Bakumatsu era, at the end of the shoguns' rule over Japan in the middle of the 19th century. The Tokugawa shogunate uses the brainwashing Heaven's Songs by the top idols in Shinsengumi to subjugate the country and its people. In this Japan, writing or singing any songs besides the Heaven's Songs is a capital offense. Sakamoto Ryouma and the other rockers rise up and change the world with rock 'n' roll for freedom and justice.

Bakumatsu Rock is a music-based rhythm-action battle game based on a story of male characters from the Tokugawa shogunate if they were world-conquering rock idols instead of just warlords.
