TAKARAZUKA: Paine lovers should see this.

[auronlu]

My old gf's wife has discovered a Japanese all-women's drama/theater company which is to DIE FOR, Takarazuka Revue. I assume some of you have seen these folks before (I wonder if dagas_isa's icon comes from one of their productions?), but I haven't.

I wish I knew what they were saying, but it's just not that important, with this kind of talent and eye candy. It's like bishie, only for those who like strong women. Especially strong women in uniforms. I keep expecting Utena to pop out from behind a pillar and start doing stretches.

and they have such pretty voices the voices always get me...

**EDIT** Better camera angles of the same scene , but lacking the great close-ups at the beginning

Random jazzy dancing.

More Hot Death.

omg the Phantom of the Opera one.. *rolls around with glee* I've always wanted to see a video of that!! I've only seen caps! So awsome!!

Poke around on YouTube, there's more clips too.

I feel so ignorant that I didn't know about this.

It would never in a million years happen, but I can't help wishing for a Takarazuka musical based on FFX. Can you imagine their version of Sir Auron?!

Oh my gosh... their Auron would be fabulous! I just know it! I would have fits of squees even if it is a girl! They seem to really pull off the older-male characters very well.
