"A" got to see her beloved "O",
....AND
THEY HUGGED EACH OTHER IN THE AUDIENCE
Asako came to see the 18:30 performance of My Heart with Ootori Rei (Midori), Rika Masumi (Mito)-san & Isono Chihiro (Soluna)-san on Sept. 5. They sat in the 5th row by the right aisle of the center block.
From right to left : Midori, Asako, Mito-san, Soluna-san
Asako, in a black jacket and brown pants with a black/white scarf around her neck, and her company came and took their seats just 5 minutes before the show opened.
While other 3 flipped through concert programs in their hands, Asako gazed upon one page : "Greetings" which carried a message from Osa. (My excellent Carl Zeiss binos could capture every single movement of Asako from my seat far back.)
The show started.
....................................................................
I witnessed a big smile of Asako when she eagerly turned around and saw Osa in a yellow dress while the latter was performing "Feeling Good" in the audience.
...................................................................
It was during the "Takarazuka in My Heart" section when Osa was singing "Southern Cross Revue" in the audience. She was standing in the aisle by Midori's seat.
As she came to the ending part ”ただ愛だけを 泳いだ 星の夜” "I only swam in love in a starry night",
Osa turned to Asako and held out her hand to her boyfriend as if indicating "I'm dedicating this part to you".
When she finished, Osa beamed widely at Asako and they shook hands
...then simultaneously, Osa bent down/ Asako stretched across Midori and
THEY HELD EACH OTHER IN THEIR ARMS.
After the show, Asako, Midori, Mito-san and Soluna-san all stood up to give a big applause to Osa.
During the standing ovation, Osa said
今日は宝塚で一緒に過ごしてきた仲間が来てくれて、たいそう幸せです。
"I'm extremely happy today because my friends with whom I spent my Takarazuka years together came all the way to see the show."
(Yes... you must be....)
When the curtain fell for the last time, Asako & co. sped away to the stage door while the audience gave them an approving applause.
*I need to thank my local Osa-Asa fan friend who suggested that the 18:30 show on Sept.5 would be the only occasion that Asako could get to see My Heart during the Gatsby run in Nissay Theater. She emphasized, "Asako would hang on to this opportunity with all her might."
She was right. And Asako was rewarded.
*Just got an e-mail from a friend who is a member of Asako's FC. The club had notified its members, "There will be no demachi on Sept. 5 because Asako san has business to do after the show." XD
