sales post;
Christmas is on its way and my bank account could use with some input, so I've taken a good look at my collection and decided to sell everything that I couldn't imagine that I will be watching on a regular basis (or which doesn't have Maachan or Miyurin in it).
Prices are low, so that we can all enjoy a good Christmas with some Takarazuka purchasing.
The post will be friends locked until tonight, when I will unlock it and cross-post a link to takarazuka. Friends first~.
[Gu Bijin]
Flower Troupe, 2010
Matobu Sei, Sakurano Ayane
Sou Kazuho
[Asking Price:] $80
Bought new and only watched a few times. Cover has a few light, almost invisible scratches from storage, the discs are scratch-free.
Two-act musical, nihonmono style ala the elaborately and almost fairytale grandeur of Susano-o. Sakurano Ayane’s last show which contains the memorial scene of Gu’s sword dance. The role of Gu is definitely one of Ayane’s best. ♥ A show I can recommend to everybody!
[Palermo Shines in the Setting Sun|Asian Winds!]
Flower Troupe, 2005/2006
Haruno Sumire, Fuzuki Miyo
Ayabuki Mao, Matobu Sei, Ranju Tomu, Toono Asuka
[Asking Price:] $75
ON HOLD
Bought used, only watched a few times. Close to no wear to the cover, but both discs (musical and revue) contain some very light scratches. I have played both DVDs and the scratches do not interfere with playing quality. No skips or freezing images.
An enjoyable musical and revue. The show is Fuzuki Miyo’s last and a grand love story in Ueda Keiko’s usual larger than life style. Asian Winds! is a remake of the earlier Hanagumi revue, Asian Sunrise featuring Aika Mire and Ootori Rei, collecting a whole row of interpretive Asian folk dances added some Takarazuka flair. Everything in it, musical and revue both, is stunningly beautiful to look at.
[The Glow of Sunset in Asuka|Takarazuka Splendor II]
Moon Troupe, 2004
Ayaki Nao, Emi Kurara
Sena Jun, Takashiro Kei, Oozora Yuuhi
[Asking Price:] $80
Bought used, but it is in perfect condition, except for a few all but invisible scratches to the cover plastic. The discs are scratch-free.
It's a two-disc show, the first disc containing the main show (a nihonmono with Sena Jun as nibante) and the revue, while the second disc contains digests of Takashiro Kei and Oozora Yuuhi in the nibante role. Worth mentioning, this is Emi Kurara's sayonara show and she is given plenty of stage time in both the musical and the revue. ♥
[Rose of Versailles - Takashiro Kei Oscar Digest]
Star Troupe, 2006
Takashiro Kei
Kozuki Wataru, Shirahane Yuri, Aran Kei
[Asking Price:] $25
Bought used, only watched a few times. The cover shows no real sign of wear and the disc is in mint condition.
The digest of Takashiro Kei’s performance as Oscar in Hoshigumi’s 2006 Berubara production. Besides clips of Oscar’s scenes, the DVD also contains footage of Kozuki Wataru’s and Kashi’s speeches on her last day of performing. Very cute~! Recommendable to anybody who likes Kashi, because she’s gorgeous as Oscar.
[Rose of Versailles - Oscar & André]
Snow Troupe, 1989
Mori Keaki, Ichiro Maki
Ayu Yuuki, Nishina Yuri, Asaji Saki
[Asking Price:] $40
SOLD
Bought used. This DVD is one of 10 in the Rose of Versailles Box Set that I got off Noppin. It contains the entire Yukigumi 1989 production as well as a small copy of the original production program. Like the later Yukigumi Berubara production from 2006, Rosalie is the leading musumeyaku part. Watch it for comparison, for some Berubara nerdiness or just because it is truly a jewel of Takarazuka.
Price is without shipping (I ship from Denmark) and paypal fees. Upon contact, I will PM you with the full cost of DVD + shipping.
I can only accept PayPal as a method of payment.
