Zuka meme!
I know I know, I still have Japan to post about and the store going up in flames (not really, just...small flames), but but...I have that post drafted! I swear!
TAKARAZUKA FIRST.

Questions
1. Who is your favorite current Top Star? Out of the current line up, I guess Mizu Natsuki. I don't know what Kiriyan would be like as a Top Star, yet.
2. Who is your favorite current Nibante? A month ago I would have said Kiriya Hiromu, but...she's not Nibante anymore! :D Mao Ayabuki. The hijinks she and Mizu get into!
3. Who is your favorite current sienne who is neither a top star or a nibante? Asami Hikaru...oh crap. CURRENT sienne...
4. Where is your current troupe loyalty? I watch more Tsukigumi shows than anything else, but that's just because I haven't caught up with Yukigumi's recent shows.
5. What is your favorite troupe for
a) 1995-1999 Soragumi
b) 2000 - 2002 Hanagumi
c) 2003-2005 Yukigumi
d) 2006-2008 Tsukigumi/Yukigumi
6. What sienne would you switch your troupe loyalty for if they transferred somewhere else? Kiriyan or Mizu
7. What play/stories do you want to see Takarazuka do? Ooh gosh, shoulda asked me this a couple years back when I was more plugged into musical theater. Come to think of it, seeing an Otokoyaku do Peter Allen from The Boy from Oz would be hilarious. Although Galynthia mentioned Victor/Victoria and the genderfuck in that one would be priceless. The idea of Kiriyan as Liza intrigues me, but dunno if they'd allow her to do anymore musumeyaku roles now that she's Top Star...
8. What types of plays do you want to see more of? (ie comedy, romance, western, supernatural, fable/fairy tale) Supernatural. I think they do lots of comedies already :O
9. Would you like to see Takarazuka do a non-singing play? If its all talky talky, no because my Japanese is awful. The songs help the understanding. But I'd love to see more Tarantella-type plays. More dance/acting with an ensemble singing.
10. What is your favorite version of Elisabeth and why? Mizubeth Yukigumi 2007! But I love Asa as Elisabeth, but Mizu is the best Tod in my mind.
11. What is your favorite version of Rose of Versailles and why? I've only seen one, the one with Komu in it, so I'm biased. I won't say no to Kiriyan's version, though. If only because its Kiriyan and she's fantastic as a woman.
12. What do you like most in a sienne? Acting ability, singing ability, or dancing ability? I would say singing, but some of my favorite siennes weren't the best singers...Dancing really gets me, then acting, then singing. But I do loves me some good singing >_<
13. What are your top 3 favorite Takarazuka plays? Datenshi no Namida, Ernest in Love, Elisabeth (okay so I haven't seen very many yet)
14. What are your top 3 favorite Revues? Tarantella, Dream Kingdom, Cocktail
15. Who is your favorite Top Star combi of all time? Komu and Rira. Rira wasn't the best singer, but dancing and chemistry with Komu is win.
16. What is your favorite Top Star / Nibante combination of all time? Asa/Kiriyan
17. What troupe would you most likely cheat on your current favorite troupe with? I'm gonna be watching Tsukigumi for Kiriyan. I am unashamed!
18. What character is your favorite Takarazuka hero? Lucifer from Datenshi no Namida
19. What character is your favorite Takarazuka heroine? So many heroines were paperweights...Asa-beth?
20. What character is your favorite Takarazuka villain? From the little I've seen of Seal of Roses, I already dig Mikhail for hands-on villainy XD
Your Favorite! (pick one!)
1. Otokoyaku or musumeyaku Otokoyaku
2. Comedy or drama My favorite plays are usually drama, but I don't say no to comedy. I usually turn dramas into comedies anyway, so I guess drama.
3. Singing or dancing Dancing
4. Western style play or traditional japanese style play Western style
5. Oscar or Andre Depends who is playing who!
6. Death or Franz Joseph Death, sorry Franz. Maybe Kiriyan will change my mind.
7. Play or Revue Play
8. Tuxedo or 10 layer bell-bottom latin pants Bell-bo...I mean tuxedo!! D:
9. Sequins or feathers Feathers
10. Main theater or Bow Hall (or Umeda or whatever other smaller theater they use)...haven't seen enough to make a decision...Main theater? So I get the revue.
11. Heroes or villains? Anti heroes!
And finally . . .
12. Osa or Asa Gah...Asa overall I suppose :| I love you, Osa!
