Inspiration for Sailor Uranus / Tenou Haruka
Did you know that Takeuchi Naoko had in her character draft for Haruka indicated the words 宝塚男役 (takarazuka otokoyaku) which translates to 'Takarazuka male role'? Similarly, Michiru's character draft has a reference to 宝塚系, i.e. Takarazuka style:
In Japan, the Takarazuka Revue is an all-female musical theatre troupe - think all female Broadway or the Zuka club from Ouran:
Back in the 90s, there was a famous Takarazuka actress - Amami Yuki, who became the youngest actress to be cast as a male role and she was quite the heart throb. Female fans will often queue for her plays and tickets for her shows were always sold out:
Amami Yuki was also mentioned by Hanako from Wotakoi as her first crush:
There are fan speculations that Takeuchi Naoko based Tenou Haruka on Amami Yuki - Amami Yuki first joined Takarazuka in 1987 and rose to popularity in the early to mid 1990s (which dovetails with the serialisation of the Sailor Moon manga), pic dump below:
Amami Yuki belonged to the "Moon Troupe" in the Takarazuka Revue together with Asano Kayo, who was the top female role and is often paired with Amami Yuki. Fans have also drawn parallels since Takeuchi Naoko also stated in her character draft that Michiru also has a 'Takarazuka-style':
Fun fact: Amami Yuki retired from Takarazuka at the height of her popularity to pursue acting and she's still active today. She faced quite abit of setback during her debut as an actress since there wasn't a female role that quite fit her (as she didn't quite fit the japanese beauty standard at that time), one of her more popular shows shortly after her debut was the 2001 rendition of Tale of Genji, where she portrayed Hikaru Genji:
While this was well received in Japan but Amami Yuki was concerned on whether she would have to continue playing male roles, until she broke through in Queen's Classroom (2005), where she found her niche in portraying strong, independent female characters:

U trời, bộ “Top caster” này hay ghê á💓👌
Xét ở điểm nào cũng đều hợp gu phim của tớ: Kịch bản hoàn chỉnh, logic; tình tiết nhẹ nhàng nhưng không kém phần phong phú, lôi cuốn; có pha yếu tố hài hước nhưng không giảm nhẹ những yếu tố cảm động, đáng suy ngẫm, nhất là nằm ở những câu nói của nữ chính và bác giám đốc; tuyến nhân vật phong phú, nhiều màu sắc, cá tính; diễn viên ai cũng đẹp từ nam tới nữ và có diễn xuất rất tốt (hài ra hài, bi ra bi); OTP đến với nhau (Tsubaki x Yuki và Nozomi x Kensukei), couple tương xứng đến hoàn hảo (cái này tớ sẽ kể sau, đặc biệt là cặp thứ nhất nhé:)); góc quay, bối cảnh, hình ảnh ổn áp, đầu tư; và cuối cùng, đặc biệt nhất, chính là nội dung làm về ngành nghề tớ yêu thích và tớ có định hướng tương lai, đó là nghề về truyền thông, báo chí - phóng viên, biên tập viên. Bên cạnh đó, phim giúp tớ hiểu hơn về những vất vả, khó khăn, nguy hiểm của nghề đưa tin nhưng đó là một nghề cao quý, đáng trân trọng, rất cần thiết cho một xã hội hiện đại, từ đó mà truyền cho tớ thêm động lực để tiếp tục theo đuổi ước mơ. Trên ��ây là tất cả những điểm khiến tớ bị thu hút bởi bộ phim này.
Ban đầu nhìn poster, tớ cảm thấy không hợp mắt tớ nên tớ định bỏ qua. Nhưng thử xem thì cuốn quá trời, bình thường một bộ phim tầm 10-11 tập, tớ sẽ xem trong khoảng một tuần có hơn nhưng ở phim “Top caster” với 11 tập, tớ chỉ có xem trong vỏn vẹn 4 ngày thôi. Bây giờ tớ mới thấm câu “Đừng nhìn bìa mà đánh giá một quyển sách”🥹 Tớ định xem phim để kết thúc mùa hè này nhưng đâu ngờ phim hay quá, xem xong mà luỵ phim, luỵ cả Amami.
Sau này khi ra đời, khi bắt đầu bước đi trên con đường sự nghiệp của mình, tớ rất mong sẽ gặp được một chị sếp như Tsubaki (Amami thủ vai). Bởi chị ấy không chỉ tài giỏi, mạnh mẽ, độc lập và xinh đẹp mà còn rất tâm lý, nói câu nào cũng mang tính sắc bén, đáng để học hỏi và làm theo. Chị tận tuỵ với công việc nhưng lại vụng về trong việc nhà, thường ỷ lại những việc này vào trợ lý nhưng được chị “truyền lửa” nghề, được chị định hướng, được chị chỉ bảo, được chị thẳng thắn mắng mỏ, chỉ lỗi sai mà vẫn được chị âm thầm bảo vệ, chở che thì phải sống với chị cả đời, tớ cũng cam lòng🫶🏻
P/s: Đang sống với nhau vui vẻ, êm đềm, bỗng dưng chị “bốc hơi”, ra đi không nói trước một lời nào, chỉ để lại lá thư cảm ơn vỏn vẹn có mấy dòng chữ như Tsubaki cuối phim, chắc tớ khóc lụt nhà 7 ngày 7 đêm🥲

Jdorama Spring 2023 (b)
Gouriteki ni Arienai | The impossible possibility | 合理的にあり得ない Stars: Amami Yuki, Matsushita Kouhei
An ex-lawyer previously convicted for assault opens a detective agency...which is the type of synopsis that does not capture the story at all.
It comes across similar to Confidence Man JP...which unfortunately I couldn't even finish watching the first episode because I found it so cringey. The jovial tone, slightly ridiculous cases (and resolutions), and the unorthodox (read: borderline illegal) methods the protagonists employ, and the impersonations and cons, all look pretty similar to the set up of Confidence Man.
Amami Yuki owns every drama she's in (I'm a fangirl, okay) and this is no different, although once again she's fairly undifferentiated from the spate of fearsome career women she's played in the past. I'm actually a little disappointed in Matsushita - he was amazing in Sai'ai and Atom no Ko, but I don't know if Amami is just at a level higher than him (unusual though, because I've seen Amami against a lot of newbie actors with much better chemistry) or he's still finding his footing, but this is probably the least convincing and least...interesting character I've seen him play, even though the actual character is quite quirky.
Last Man | ラストマン Stars: Fukuyama Masaharu, Oizumi Yo
Minami Hiromi joins the Japanese police force as a FBI consultant to help them with solving difficult cases, but he receives a lot of doubt about his abilities because he's a blind man.
In an era of reboots and adaptations, Kuroiwa Tsutomu seems to have managed a few well-rated original stories. The show stars two veteran actors -- although it's a little surprising to see Oizumi play the cold and bad tempered one, while Fukuyama plays the mild and empathetic one.
The first episode was a little slow but I do like the way it's handled the protagonist's visual impairment. It's not just a gimmick. I liked the way it acknowledged how having a disability has given him insights into the way society treats "weak people" and changes the way other people view him. It's both an impediment but also something he can use, because other people often underestimate his abilities because of his disability.
