Captured Moon

“Peggy Carter’s fighting style has none of the artistry of characters like Melinda May or Black Widow. She basically slams heavy objects into men until they fall over, which is very satisfying to watch.”

Summary:

When Brienne Tarth took her Colour Perception Test at age twenty, she never expected to receive a result of eighty-six percent Blue. It should have been a blessing: the higher your perception, the easier your path is in life, whether you are one of the ruling Purples, or Blue like her, or Green, Yellow, Orange, or Red. The higher your place in the Chromatic Hierarchy, the more likely you are to inherit a title, the better your marriage prospects. The further away you are from the lowest Greys, who can see barely any natural colour, or none at all.

But even now, more than two years later, she still has no clue how she feels about that result. She has no clue how to feel about the fact that she is awkward, and ugly, and stands head and shoulders above most people, and has a high enough perception for prospective husbands to overlook all of those things.

Prospective, Purple-hued husbands like Jaime Lannister.

Additional Grand Theater/Tokyo Theater performances have been scheduled. The are:

Tsukigumi’s Welcome to Takarazuka/Pigalle: 9/25-11/1 at the Takarazuka Grand Theater

Soragumi’s Anastasia: 11/7-12/14 at the Takarazuka Grand Theater

Hanagumi’s Haikarasan ga Tooru: 10/10-11/15 at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater

Tsukigumi’s Welcome to Takarazuka/Pigalle: 11/21-1/3 at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater

Ayanagi Shou will be getting a dinner show entitled Sho-W! on 10/19 and 10/20 at the Takarazuka Hotel, 11/1 and 11/2 at the Daiichi Hotel Tokyo. Joining her will be Aya Ouka, Yume Maoto, Kotohana Riri, and Neiro Yui.

As of 7/18, Todoroki Yuu has stepped down from the Board of Directors and has moved into a Special Advisor position. Excluded from the official announcement but reported on Yahoo News, director Koike Shuuichirou has done the same. 

Several upcoming Takarazuka performances will be streamed live (for a fee) on Rakuten TV, UNEXT, or both. You can view the streams here: tca-pictures.net/vod/live2020

If I try really hard I can almost remember Takarazuka…

The company had previously cancelled ALL performances through 4/12, but today announced that due to the government-issued state of emergency covering Hyogo prefecture and Tokyo (among other areas), all performances will be suspended until further notice. They will make further announcements regarding the schedule in the coming days. Refund instructions are available in Japanese according to the date of the performance you planned to attend, and are currently only available through 4/30.

Although 4/30 seems to be the tentative reevaluation date for many things, the Bunkyo Civic Hall run of NOW ZOOM ME (4/30-5/10) has already been cancelled completely due to restrictions placed by that particular theater.

The schedule for the 106th’s hatsubutai speeches was released, but the fate of their debut performance (Tsukigumi’s Welcome to Takarazuka/Pigalle) seems rather up in the air

The rest of the Tsukigumi shinko roles have been announced, but again, see above

There was an article on Nikkan Sports announcing that effective 4/1, Hankyu has established a new subdivision of its company to act as an agency to promote more Takarazuka OGs in the entertainment industry. The new division is called Takarazuka Live Next.

Former Yukigumi top star Takane Fubuki has formally announced her retirement from the entertainment industry as she will soon undergo surgery to treat thyroid cancer. She stated that the effects the surgery will have on her vocal cords will make it impossible to perform up to her standards thereafter. If you’ve never heard her beautiful voice, I highly recommend seeking out some early 90s yukigumi productions and/or OG concerts circa the 100th anniversary.
