THE TAKARAZUKA IX: MOON TROUPE (1/∞):

You can usually foresee the difficulty of a show from when you watch it, but this one fooled me. It's easy to understand the overall but all the poems in classical Japanese threw me off. Plus, the difficult Japanese becomes a plot point, so... yes, this was hard.

Unlike what I've been doing, I decided to insert notes here and there. I almost deleted all of them while revising though.

It's still an interesting show to watch from all optics, so I really wanted to share it. Moreover, I'm not sure how much the other translators still want to do works from this Soragumi period.

There are some sensitive topics in the story, like the Second War (I'd have removed this scene but maybe it's got meaning to the Japanese fans that escapes me), and death.

I tried to do my research because the main characters are the poets Fujiwara no Teika and Princess Shikishi, but the Internet told me a different story from here, as usual with Takarazuka plays... Princess Shikishi's poems, however, are worth your time!
