Episode 9: Tamaki Ryou is the Next Top Star of Moon Troupe!
CORRECTION: The first PUCK was in the 90s, not the 80s. XD
In This Podcast:
- Tamaki Ryou love (+ Manaki Reika)
- Top Star stats
- What’s making us happy in Takarazuka lately
- Short Sendai travelogue (not really, kinda)
Addendum to our discussion, as promised: Tamaki Ryou is listed as having gone to Hikarigaoka Girl’s High School in Aichi Prefecture. We can’t be sure what year she made it to without breaking the Sumire Code a bit, but that means she at least started the equivalent of US 10th grade before starting her two years at the Takarazuka Music School.
