The day of days...
The day has come, the first raku for New Orleans, complete with what sounds like an amazing sayonara show. I'm trying to be prepared for the pictures and further reports that'll be coming, though I'm not sure how possible it really is.
Touko, thank you for sharing your talent with all of us for the years that you have and thank you for the intelligence and humility and honesty that you bring to everything you do. I can't imagine Takarazuka without you, but I know you will go on to do amazing things that I am excited to see.
Kazu, thank you for sticking it out and thank you for your smiles and your pink lipgloss and your ugly shirts and your jokes with Haya and just you. I'll miss you, very very much, and I hope that whatever you do with your life will make you happy.
Asuka, don't think I mean it lightly when I say that I want to be you when I grow up. Charm and poise and talent and wit and still such a childlike joy. You reminded people that musumeyaku can be feminine and elegant while still sometimes stealing the show from their partners.
To all the other taidansha, ganbare and thank you for all you've done for Takarazuka and your fans.
