The girls who work there are autonomous mechanical dolls (automata), the peak of modern technology. They were created as weapons to fight in the great war, but the war is now over.
The peace greeted them and helped them get restored. Now they are dressed in shiny kimonos and looking for a new role, which involves singing happily. Would you like to spend some time with these girls?
