== Trivia ==
Kullervo is the only protagonist whose name isn't Japanese (it's Finnish), however he and Miyuri are the only ones to be Japanese: Miku is Gaulish, Kenshin is from a fantasy land and Yorinobu is a Mongol. Only Miyuri, however, is voiced in Japanese in songs, by Yuko Suzuhana.
The "J-Pop" in the title is what non-Japanese audiences would call "folk metal". In Japan, it counts as J-Pop. 
Kenshin's Saga isn't set in the real world. It's an adaptation of a fantasy story written by Rhapsody themselves.
Hatsune Miku is not voiced by her trademark voice actress Saki Fujita, but by Fabienne Erni (the singer of Eluveitie). Saki Fujita still voices her once she ascends to godhood, after Julius Caesar kills her at Alesia in the game's ending.
