Takarazuka Journal

Ever been to an ochakai or ochanomikai and played an awesome game? Heard about one from a friend? Please share!

I know there are some faves that are used again and again, but there are also even neater ones that seem to depend on the seito and her staff’s creativity.

I’m collecting game/activity ideas for the fanmeet in NYC this summer and also *cough* for future fanmeets *coughcough*.

Seijou Kaito Ochakai -- The Scarlet Pimpernel (Tokyo)

Let's try to grind my rusty memory into work....

Sawaki Rizu Tea Party
June 13th, 2010 - Aqua Alice Garden

I was so excited when I got the forms and saw that the Tokyo ochanomikai for Pimp would be in the same place as her last one. I love this little restaurant, and having a ton of food included in the price is always marvelous. (Only possible minus is that the sound system is pretty atrocious for when she's singing.)

Unfortunately I wasn't across from really friendly, talkative people this time, and my direct neighbors came in at the last minute, but I was kept busy with the insanely difficult game. It was to fill out a relationship chart using a box full of names and figure out the kinds of connections these people had to Rizu. I did spectacularly bad, but the reveal and the stories she told then made it oh so worth it. :D

They found a way to fit in yet another table this time (which I wouldn't have thought possible!), to match her growing popularity -- so probably about 90 or 100 people there. Oh, sad thought. Will they be able to use the restaurant for Gypsy if there are more people there? Probably not. Anyway, the gift was a collection of multi-colored book clips with "Rizu" written on them. (Pimp seemed to inspire everyone to office supplies in Tokyo.)

Rizu came in right on time, and she was so casually dressed I kind of did a double-take, but it suited her. Her hair was up behind her ears enough that I'm pretty sure she has an extra piercing up at the top of her left ear♥

(Oh, yes, and because I was an idiot, I kind of ordered two extra sets of Hamlet!! photos, instead of Pimpernel ones. Would anyone like my extra set? 500 yen, and they'll probably mail them to me after the run in Tokyo ends next month.)

Sawaki Rizu Ochanomikai
Long Fang restaurant - May 2nd, 2010

Somehow less than a week has passed and it already seems so far away.

I should probably read this through again, but I'm getting too sleepy. Sorry for typos.
