Tenimyu cast related magazines and media sale

[edit] added rough shipping price list

I really dread the prospect of moving a lot of stuff first in a city, then between countries, so...ç_ç and they'll have to go asap, which means they'll be sent immediately after payment being cleared. ^^;

How to order: leave a comment saying what you want to buy, I'll reply with the postage. If the price sounds

I'm not able to buy anything, but you might consider looking at the JE sales comm to sell these as well. The Top Stage and Look at Star mags have reports on several Johnny's-related shows (Endless Shock, Azumi, Playzone, etc.). I'd actually love to buy them, but I have no idea when I get paid.

[fil_n]

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought about that before but decided against it, because I have no idea who the rest of the people are apart from myu actors and don't think I could give proper info ^^; Since you mentioned, it probably worths just putting it up and let people find out for themselves ^^ cheers!

[iverin]

I could help you with some of the names if you want to post to the JE comms. These particular mags rarely come up on the JE sales comms because of the different way they handle content, but there are people out there who would like to get their hands on them, I think!

Just let me know if you want me to look over the covers and see who I can ID. :D I'm doing absolutely nothing today but bumming around on LJ, so it wouldn't be any problem at all.

[fil_n]

oh that's brilliant, thanks! The only one I know is garagesalejapan ^^; and if you don't mind pointing out a few of the biggest names in the mags would help I'm sure.

Can I sort of quote you in the post for this information?

[iverin]

8D Sure thing. The main comm for JE sales is je_sales. Most people post to the individual artist comms, too, but that's a hassle. XD I'm going to pimp this post on my LJ if that's okay, too. There's actually some really randomly awesome stuff in these

[fil_n]

Awesome! It looks like a really good summary, thanks for the work. Of course you can pimp it on your lj, you're more than welcome XD

Can I just copy your summary in the posts I'll make? It would definitely give people a much better idea.

Even someone as ignorant about Japanese actors as me has heard about the Takarazuka theatre, so they must be big in Japan, LOL well obviously because nearly every magazine has a special interview about some members...but that's as far as I know XD yeah, thanks for the help!

[iverin]

Awesome! A couple of my friends might want them for the Zuka stuff. If I'm right, one of the actresses interviewed for Rose of Versailles is Asami Hikaru. She's FANTASTIC and it's very sad that she's retired now.

Go for it! A lot of people will recognize the kanji and things, but in case they don't...

I'm always really shocked when people have heard of Takarazuka! It's so cool, and so many people don't know about it. I didn't even know they had stuff in Top Stage until one of my friends told me a little while back and I flipped out horribly. XD

Good luck on your sales!

[fil_n]

Done. I remember that one play they did featured in a top stage is Elizabeth. The photos look very interesting and that's how I remembered. I suppose they get actresses generation after generation? *doesn't really know how it works*

The pictures are quite blurry so it's likely they don't/can't be asked ^^;

Is it normally abbreviated as Zuka? I'm sorry but I just inevitably remembered a certain pot character XD Top Stage seems to be quite a serious stage magazine which is probably why they appear a lot?

[iverin]

dksjfhdjhgkjasdhgkjasdg Pardon my keysmash but Elisabeth is by FAR my favorite Takarazuka production (see icon XD). It's amazing. The way the actresses move up is kind of complicated... It would take me a while to explain it. But they often retire from Takarazuka right at their prime to pursue further stage and movie acting outside of the troupe.

I was totally squinting at some of them. XD

Yeah, a lot of us call it Zuka. And I really shouldn't have been surprised to find out that it was in Top Stage. I just thought that with the way the Takarazuka Revue handles things, they wouldn't do much outside press. Again, it's complicated, but suffice it to say that it's fairly difficult and expensive to get Takarazuka stuff. It's a very insular sort of thing. I'm glad to hear that they do stuff outside of the magazines that the company itself publishes.

[fil_n]

Wow, that icon looks really cool. I'll take some photos of that Elizabeth report tomorrow when the lighting is better. Sorry I have no access to ANY scanner...:(

Now come to think about it, the first time I heard about them was probably after I read Rose of Versailles. The fan pages have some introduction and they're probably one of the first groups to have real people show based on a manga.

Interesting. Maybe the company thinks less press is better? Or they want to maintain a high standard and the like. The way a lot of japanese acting agencies/companies operate is quite fascinating and sometimes very confusing to me ^_^

[iverin]

Ooooooh!!! Thank you! I haven't seen many photos from the most recent Elisabeth production, so that's really exciting!

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Rose of Versailles is a pretty old Zuka show, too. They do it frequently.

Ahaha, honestly I think they're just trying to make as much money as possible, but that's just me. We really can never tell with these Japanese agencies/companies. They all have very different strategies. I agree, it's absolutely fascinating! Fortunately the one standard they all have is turning out the pretty for us to look at. /shallow XD

Hi! I accidentally packed the magazines to be sent away ^^; but will get them on Wednesday, so there will be photo then...*faints* sorry about the delay ^^
