Takarazuka Journal

Rika, please never ever ever change♥

Our top musumeyaku continues to be awesome♥

And I keep forgetting to post this, but Touyan has moved her blog. Before she moved, however, she revealed that she's working in a dental office now (okay, guess I should have guessed from the uniform, but in my defense... after ten years I've STILL managed to avoid the Japanese dentist), and she went out for lunch with Himari♥

PS - Luna Rossa is AWESOME. My heart went 'splody from the Tomochin hotness.

PPS - Sorry, Mame still hasn't posted it publicly. It may be a month or two before she does, now that I think about it. I didn't mean to be a tease for that long. XD

Touyan went to see Gypsy yesterday♥ She ran into Sararan and Ahi backstage♥

Ahahahah, Touyan♥

( Quick-quick Summary: )

What I Thought:

Another show I have been hoarding for a rainy day, for so many nostalgic reasons.

I'll be honest, I wasn't even certain if I would like it, or if it would be too much like Last Party, which I didn't really care for all that much. But it surprised me. I felt like, especially in the second act, it contained some genuinely touching scenes which transcended the usual angst-fest of a Takarazuka Love Tragedy. When Amane-san gave the photo to Yuuhi, I started crying.

( Read more... ) I liked the ways that Ueda-sensei managed to make well-worn scenarios fresh.

The farewell speeches were.... I think Koshino Ryuu was the worst off. She fell apart and made mistakes that set Yuuhi off in stitches♥ She was all: "I can do it, I can do it. [GIANT MISTAKE]" And Yuuhi was all: *warm smile* "Ganbatte!" Tsukigumi♥

Touyan, Ahi & Masao got together for dinner *AGAIN* this week♥ Isshiki Ruka was with them this time, and they celebrated her birthday a few days early♥

... Now I see why Masaki was in such a good mood that morning -- she had a party to look forward to. ;)

This, THIS was one of the first things I saw when I woke up this morning and I wanted to post about it but I knew Lucia would kill me if I went to work without saying something about my weekend.

Mame has been posting every day in her new journal. And it is so very Mame-like♥

And she's growing out her hair and she went to Saaya's ochakai and then they went out and did karaoke together until the wee hours of the morning♥ Songs related to shows where they played husband-wife teams. Those two♥

And Touyan of course didn't forget to post today to congratulate the three underclassmen graduating from the Grand Theater. (fangirl)

TOUYAN

How can anyone be so awesome? I don't post about her every update, because that would be over-load, but I always want to

She went to see the show today, and she is a *total* fan girl once more~ She gloats over getting eye-contact from lots of people, talks about crying over how great everyone is, and how sad she got just before the parade when she realized it was over already. *laugh*

I'm sorry, I've become That Person, who doesn't reply to comments. I meant to get caught up this weekend, but got bulldozed by a cold. So I ended up cleaning out my inbox a bit in the selfish way.


Oh, but, but, Touyan went to see Hanagumi senshuuraku yesterday. She also went to do otetsudai for Mame and Rene Apparently she's known Rene since jr high (I bet they went to the same TMS prep school -- they're both from Kanagawa). Shimizu Kyouka, Kano Seiya, Seiki Hanna, and Tomoka Shuri also went. They brought a cake and had fun, girly talk.

I never mentioned, but Touyan went down to Takarazuka for Tsukigumi raku, too. Originally she said she wasn't seeing the show until Tokyo, so part of me wonders if she went to do otetsudai after all because Seri got sick just before raku. Maybe Renka needed help?

Anyway, I think she summarizes up how I feel with her:


WEDNESDAY

Cold, GO AWAY.

MUST GET HEALTHY, MUST GET HEALTHY.

Touyan! Has a job. Which is completely unlike anything she has done before, she tells us, which makes me think OL, for some inexplicable reason. She says she'll give it her all, though. And she quotes Hollywood Lover♥♥♥
