Takarazuka Revue Fan Podcast

Additions:

• We mentioned Shion Yuu being ill or injured. Research on Wikipedia says that what happened was that she injured her Achilles tendon during rehearsals for Ephemeral Love. She was out for that entire Grand Theater run and the following national tour, but after rehabilitation came back for the Tokyo run.
• Wikipedia also confirms that Kouju Tatsuki’s nickname (Taatan/Tartan) is from her real name (Takako).
• Please enjoy Hyuuga Kaoru’s epic 80s hair. (April ’89 GRAPH)
• Becca didn’t have any luck finding her Hoshigumi collage. If you know where to find it, please let us know!
• The OG Wataru show with the Andre improv skit is Re-Birth. Totally worth it, if you can find the Sky Stage recording!
• Look for a link to the Mariko lifts in the comments when I get a  chance.
