I was in love with the idea of Yukinojou Henge ever since I learned of the 1994 Yukigumi show, because a revenge-bent onnagata who falls in love with his enemy's daughter sounded like the perfect role for Madame Ichiro. Top it with the lovely kanji (hope of snow) and I was hooked. My Takarazuka journal has been named Yukinojou for over a year and a half now, and so is my tumblr.

I finally got my hands on a Sky Stage recording (low-quality third-hand copy - does anyone have anything bigger than a postage stamp?) and oh, this show is that good and more.

Getting Dancin' Crazy eventually was a foregone conclusion the moment I learned of it back in 2007 - over half of Takarazuka's most noted modern dancers in one show, sign me up! I've finally obtained it, and this is a collection of disjointed exclamations. The display of talent dazzles far too much for me to be coherent.

It's Takarazuka dancing, period, stripped of the ostrich feathers and sequins, nothing but the art. The most elaborate costumes are for a single Arabesque number, and apart from that, nothing fancier than tailcoats.

Summary of not!Review: NATSUME-SAN. Komu ♥ Kazahana Mai O.o BwahahaRika <3 Hoshina!! Wataru :) Black Angels! <- random order. Except Natsume-san. Because this is a show with a dream OG dancing troupe, of which Natsume-san is the beloved top star.

Mostly in chronological order )

If I ever end up getting an iPod-analogue, I need those Natsume-san x Komu duets on it. And in a perverse way I'm glad I hadn't seen it before November - I would have taken it badly. This way, Natsume-san joins the long list of people I found too late ♥
