Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe Top Star Yuzuka Rei will be graduating from Takarazuka Revue on May 26, and she performed with Top Musumeyaku Hoshikaze Madoka on the closing performance of their graduation performance "Arc en ciel~The Rainbow Over Paris" on 24 March, saying goodbye at the home base.

Yuzuka came down the grand staircase in the formal otokoyaku costume which is the black tails, and said, "In these 15 years, I just kept on running. It was a journey that I devoted all of my youth to."

As Cosmos Troupe Top Musumeyaku, she partnered with Makaze Suzuho and later transferred to Flower Troupe to be with Yuzuka as the Golden Combi. She delivered the following speech,

"10 years ago in this place, my life as a stage performer started here. Makaze-san and Cosmos Troupe members taught me the foundations from the very beginning. And later, meeting with Yuzuka-san is my most cherished treasure. Whenever the time, she'd never let go of my hand, and she always shines so brightly. I am full of gratitude. I am so happy to graduate together with Yuzuka-san." Later when the two appear on stage again, she shouted, "I love Yuzuka-san and also everyone!"

Another popular star is Hozumi Mahiro who is also graduating. She said, "I believe that as long as Takarazuka continues, this will be a place where I can return to my roots."

The Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre performances are from April 14-May 26.

Yuzuka Rei’s Last Performance opens on February 10, and retires in May, “Whenever the time, I always want to repay the gratitude from the audience who is always supporting me.”

Flower Troupe Top Star completed her pre-sayonara performance in her special concert “Be Shining - Glamorous Time” in the Kobe International Hall in December 10-13 last year. Her next performance is “Arc en Ciel: The Rainbow Over Paris” which opens at the Takarazuka Grand Theatre in Hyogo on February 10, to which she announced retirement for that show. This is therefore her “last show” before retirement, and showcases a stage with plentiful “glamorous” dances. She’s gone down to the audience various times, and had fulfilling occasions of interacting with the audience.

After the Tokyo performances, she embraced the opening performance in Kobe. From the opening, she spoke, “This is my first time choreographing in my entire life”, and debuts her pride in dancing. “Your applause is so warm, and the penlights are really pretty”, expressing her gratitude for the full-house audience till the fourth levels. She received the applause from the hall, an attendance of around 2000 fans and audiences.

She honed her splendid and skillful dance, together with her charming demeanour. This was a show performance of vibrant charms, “like a treasure box but created in the format of a concert”.

From songs of her newcomers’ performance “Elisabeth – The Rondo of Love and Death” and more, recalling her footsteps of her time in the Revue. From her representative lead performance “Haikara-san ga Tooru” to “Poe Clan” before being a Top Star, the videos play on the screen.

“(Now we’re at) Hyogo! We’re back at Hyogo Prefecture!”

Also graduating is the Top Musumeyaku Hoshikaze Madoka and the popular star Seino Asuka, to whom she sang and danced with, she said, “because the audience have a presence of supporting us no matter the circumstances, watching over us no matter what wind blows, that we could continue performing.” She spoke to the fans, to which they returned with an applause of over 10 seconds.

Yuzuka appeared on stage again upon the encore, and called the Flower Troupe members on stage.

“To everyone who has always and often supported us no matter the circumstances, to everyone who has always loved us, this is a concert to convey the sentiments that we want to repay that gratitude.”

Once again, there was a huge round of applause. Her sayonara performance “Arc en Ciel” opens in February and she plays as a dancer protecting the French revue from the German invasion. She will bid goodbye to Takarazuka after the closing performance on May 26 in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre.

you can only imagine the absolute downward spiral of my emotions after watching Nice Work If You Can Get It and Sorrowful Cordoba back to back

story summaries:

NWIYCGT - “cheating can help you find true love”

SC - “cheating gets you malled by a bull”

I loved both in every possible way

hi! hope ur still online! I wondered if the Japanese version like the uh Takarazuka Anastasia is somewhere online to see or watch? I mean it looks like they had it recorded but so far had no luck :( can you help?

Hi, sorry I didn’t reply sooner, I thought I had replied but realised today I had not.

I don’t know anywhere online that has the Takarazuka production, I know there are online shops which sell the dvd or Blu-ray but I can be expensive and the sites are normally all In Japanese.

If anyone else can help then hopefully they will reblog or put in the comments where you might be able to find it.
