Takarazuka Revue

[Kilala831]

Takarazuka Revue is an all female troupe over in Japan. There are 5 troupes Cosmos, Moon, Flower, Star and Snow.

I'm a huge fan of theirs. My favorite actresses are Haruno Sumire and Sena Jun. My favorite shows are Elisabeth, Phantom, Rose of Versailles, The Scarlet Pimpernel and Ernest in Love.

Who else out there knows of them?
What is your favorite show?
Who is your favorite actress?

Bump

I've heard of them, and I've seen videos of their show Phoenix Wright, which by the way is EPIC!

there's videos of it on youtube.

[Kilala831]

Yay someone posted. I'm on youtube all the time now watching videos from their shows.

Hah I found your other thread in the International forum.
I'm a big Zuka fan. There are a couple of others on Gaia but they're pretty inactive.

[Kilala831]

I figured the topic would be better here since they are a theater troupe. I realized that after I made the other one.

Yeah I hadn't seen any topics so I made one to find out if anyone knew about them and if they liked them

[Sai-kun]

It's nice to meet another fan. What are the odds we can keep this thread going? ^_^;

[Kilala831]

I'm not sure. If we're the only ones posting it may be difficult.

[Sai-kun]

Whoa, the thread's alive.

The more active the thread, the more chance other people will join, but for whatever reason, its hard to rally the zuka fans on Gaia even though I know there are some.

[Kilala831]

Well then who are your favorite actresses?

I'll keep this thread alive even if I have to start writing out the lyrics to thier show's songs

Hahah, just keep it non spammy or it might get moved.

My favorite actresses...hmm
Asami Hikaru will always be my #1, I love Mizu Natsuki for her acting, Kiriya Hiromu for her glorious voice and her ability to switch between otokoyaku and musumeyaku and do both roles with equal justice.

I'm starting to get into Reon Yuzuki but I haven't seen much of her work yet.

My favorite musumeyaku are probably Kanami Ayano and Maikaze Rira.

What show did Kiriya play a female part?

Asami was a fantastic dancer. Mizu is also pretty damn good too. It will be sad after she retires

Kiriyan played Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Pandora in Dancing Dreams and some smaller revue parts as well.

I'm really really sad about Mizu retiring. I just feel like a golden age for Yukigumi is ending.
There's still Ootozuki Kei, I guess.

But I think my eye will now be on Kiriyan.

[Kilala831]

I'm going to be watching several actresses. Yuzuki Reon and Ryuu Masaki are the two main ones. I really hope that Ryuu eventually becomes a top star. She did so well in the role of Luigi in the 2009 production of Elisabeth.

[Sai-kun]

I never really got into Ryuu Masaki.
I kinda like Asumi Rio. Yuuhi Ozora is coming into her own, but not the best, IMO.

I hope they find some anti-hero roles for Reon Yuzuki. I do love her villains.
