Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe Top Star Yuzuka Rei does sayonara performance in home base "I ran with all of my youth"

(Source from Daily Co)

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

The sayonara show after the original performance was around 30 minutes. The sayonara show began with one of her representative performances "Haikara-san ga Tooru" and appeared in the military uniform. Also graduating is Top Musumeyaku Hoshikaze Madoka to whom they sang a song of "Genroku Baroque Rock" and had a duet dance later*. And with Towaki Sea who is the next Top Star, they sang from "A Battlefield for the Two of Us" and as if passing on the last baton, they shook hands.

(*note: the article was wrong because the duet dance was from "TOP HAT" and not "Genroku Baroque Rock", so I changed this bit.)

"Since it's the formal otokoyaku costume", Yuzuka chose the black tails and went down the grand staircase. Senka star Minami Maito who supported Yuzuka for a long time came to give flowers as her classmate.

Yuzuka thanked the audience and delivered the following speech.

"I just kept on running. It was a journey that I devoted all of my youth to. I have only continued running with all my might. Facing uphills and downhills, even after there was finally a clear road for me, I have been in deep frustrations. When I faced muddy paths, my footsteps become heavy, and there were days when I couldn't move forward. But in the midst of running these paths, many wonderful sceneries are waiting for me. Either it's how we all became united as one, or that I accomplished something, at each turning point, there were sceneries that were imprinted in my heart. In the road ahead, there will definitely be sceneries that I've worked hard for, waiting for me. And that scenery is something I can see on this stage now. To me, this scenery is my favourite one. Be it the dazzling eyes of the audience, the shining scenery as far as my eyes could see...If I could see such happy scenery in the place I've arrived in, I have no regrets in remain. I will never forget this wonderful scenery!"

This would also be my reaction if I was acting exclusively with women for 15 years and then they put me in a cast with almost all men

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
