Takarazuka geekery

So, this would be the Elisabeth Wonder Team, before Elisabeth even was.



From the left, that's Suzukaze Mayo (current Toho Elisabeth), Asaji Saki (second Takarazuka Death), and my girl Ichiro Maki (first Takarazuka Death, first Toho Elisabeth, Death and Elisabeth during the Vienna 10th anniversary concert... I can go on like this for ages).

Picture courtesy of fyrie, because a photo of my girl glomping on her girl was not to be passed over ;)

Awwww adorable! Saki's such a "gentleman" ^.^

There's one more where Ichiro's patting Saki's cheek with an expression of "Look, Mariko-chan's all grown up!" ;) Judging by the photos, they invaded Saki's Bow Hall in 1990 to congratulate her on her first-ever lead role.

That's so sweet! Part of Saki's appeal for me is that she's just such a big teddy bear. (that and she's pretty awesome when you plaster her with white face paint and give her a blonde wig too but that's beside the point . . . )

She does look extremely cuddly :) I remember that derailed my Cinderella story for Yuletide so much - instead of shying away, Cinderella just wanted to give Saki!Fairy so much.
