I just finished watching this with
wao_wao. To sum up my feelings on it in just a phrase: "I LOVE MY TROUPE."
Really, I'm so proud of these girls. They chose some incredible dancers and Suzu Haruki really was amazing as the kumichou.
Now, I get to be a dance geek. I really loved the choreography for the show. There lots of numbers that just made my inner dance geek ... dance with joy xD. The opening was a very jazzy Fossi number complete with bowler hats and gloves. There were some more typical takarazuka dance numbers but another one really stood out to me not only for the dancing, but for the premise. Houshou Dai and Ayase Akina had a pair dance that was amazing. Ebi-chan was a deaf girl! She was actually signing JSL. I was so incredibly happy. And Dai-chan was dangerously hot in cream pinstripe. Dai-chan is also very strong. She was lifting that little musumeyaku like it was nothing.
Speaking of musumeyaku! There was musumeyaku dancing with each other! It was so cute! And another number where they ran out of otokoyaku so two musumeyaku were dancing together X3
Oh and of course Mappu and Kanachin! I love that vaudvilleish number so much.
Oh I haven't really said anything about Tomoe~! She really was amazing! I'm still in awe from the way she moves. The tango with Dai-chan and her was... wow. It was a little odd since Tomoe is so much shorter than Dai. But, it was hot X3.
Um, what else? Oh yes LOVE FOR EVERYONE :D
