Just my guess, but I think they're making fun of Takarazuka Revue (all-female theatre musicals, often incorporating heavy european aesthetics, inspired by Rose of Versailles and such), and/or Visual kei bands like Malice Mizer, which were at the peak of popularity in 1997 when the game came out in Japan

The peach shoguns were a parody of Takarazuka revue, wasn't it?
It could also be a parody of visual kei, the game was released in 1997, the "visual boom" was in full bloom with flamboyant bands like Malice Mizer, Lareine, Shazna, etc.
And both takarazuka and visual kei use heavy elements of western/european aesthetics, same as the peach shoguns who transform the edo castle into an european castle. (and yes, OP, that is wrong, you can't just go to Edo and turn their castle into some Disney land bullshit)

Well, besides turning the edo castle into an european-style castle and wanting to turn the whole country into a big takarazuka revue, they didn't do much harm.
All the girls they supposedly kidnaped were all wet for Dancin'.
With the exception of Omitsu who is pure, of course.
