Hi! I hope you're well! I wanted to ask something I was curious about. I recently saw a DVD of Me and My Girl with Yuzuka Rei as Jacqueline. I’m impressed by her versatility, I usually know her for otokoyaku roles. Could you explain how casting decisions are made when otokoyaku are given female roles or vice versa? Are there specific criteria for this? Also, any other notable performances of this kind you'd recommend? Thank you so much for making this blog btw! I've learned so much from it. ^_^

Hi! I don't think there are any hard and fast rules about this, but there are definitely patterns.

First off, there are certain female roles in big-name, frequently restaged shows that are either always or usually played by otokoyaku. Off the top of my head, some include:

Jacqueline in MeMy, as you mentioned

Scarlett in Gone with the Wind

Anita in West Side Story

Rafaela in Grand Hotel

Then sometimes they are just one-off casting decisions (Towaki Sea in Liszt, Ayanagi Shou in Hikarifuru Michi, etc). Regardless of the situation, it's usually for one or a combination of these reasons:

It's a "spunky," or more mature, or canonically cross-dressing role, that would break the mold of the musumeyaku-otokoyaku relationship

It's an incredibly high profile role, but the troupe has no top musumeyaku—e.g. Sena Jun as Elisabeth in '05, Nagina Ruumi in '09—and a secondary musumeyaku would not be nearly as much of a draw to the audience as a higher ranked otokoyaku

Or it's a really high profile role, and otokoyaku just bring in more money than musumeyaku, so a heavy supporting female role goes to an otokoyaku rather than a secondary musumeyaku

Fan service!

Here are some of my recommendations:

Grand Hotel - lots good about it, but cw for egregious racial makeup in supporting characters

Soragumi's Anastasia, for both Kazuki Sora and Kotobuki Tsukasa in female roles

All for One, which is quite fun, and features Saou Kurama as the Duchess of Montpensier

Ok this is pretty Tamaki Ryou heavy for some reason, but Legend of King Arthur for Miya Rurika's Morgane

Shall we Dance, one of my all time favorite shows, featuring Sagiri Seina as the female lead

A Song for Kingdoms, the 2003 Hoshigumi version, featuring Aran Kei as Aida (also cw for some racial makeup)

There's a lot of other great stuff too!

EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET ADELAIDE??? Highly recommend thanks for the comment!

Towaki Sea: A light that finds her own colours

From long ago, she has been a talented star of four aspects – her glamour on stage, her acting, her singing and her dancing. After transferring troupes, she discovers her otokoyaku image, and is processing to a new phase. (Please read Chinese below the cut, 中文翻譯如下）

It’s been 3 years since her troupe transfer. As we do the interview, she convinces with a smile that “Flower Troupe, is really a good troupe”, and now Towaki Sea-san’s firmly a member of Flower Troupe.

“I can feel that power in the troupe. That the otokoyaku are enjoying themselves as otokoyaku, that the musumeyaku have their details to pay attention to, that there is respect for each other. The underclassmen could showcase themselves without hesitation, and because the upperclassmen can also enjoy this environment similarly, everyone could enjoy themselves on stage. That’s how the gorgeous and bright Flower Troupe atmosphere is created.”

Even though she’s already in a higher class year, with that as a prerequisite, she also says that “I’ve been freely enjoying the stage more than before”.

“I would say the troupe vibe in Flower Troupe is like it’s alright even if you’re not doing good as long as you’re being yourself. So even though if I failed and I’m being teased for that, that’s how I could expose myself without fear. Compared to doing things successfully, I was told that it’s great if you could first feel joy and the fun in performing, so I feel less burdened. In Snow Troupe times, I didn’t have much ability in winking or showing that sexy appeal and since I didn’t seek help much, I would often judge myself. Even though this is ultimately my issue, this was something important that I learnt.”

But at first when she transferred troupes, there were many parts that she felt down and wasn’t familiar with.

“When I transferred troupes, I realised how “small” I was in terms of things I couldn’t do myself. In Snow Troupe, I had friends that I’ve been growing up together with, there were upperclassmen who knew me when I couldn’t do well before, so I felt that I was taken care of by many. But when I came to Flower Troupe, when I didn’t know what kind of musical am I performing with my partner, or what kind of person they are, I starting having decide for myself what I’m good at, what kind of style do I like, what do I want to present. So slowly that’s how I built this trust relationship with others, and in this year (2022) while starring in the performance “Paris in the Winter Fog”, I could finally establish my stance to be a Flower Troupe member.”

From long ago, “I’m someone that looks at everyone around me and think of my stance and how it fits into the balance of everyone.”

“I was influenced by Sagiri-san (Sagiri Seina, former Snow Troupe Top Star) who helped me a lot in my newcomers’ performances. Sagiri-san is more serious than anyone on stage, rather than asking others to follow her, she’s someone that stands with everyone on the starting line. I think that is absolutely fantastic. While starring in “Paris in the Winter Fog”, it’s necessary to express what I hope to present with the direction of the musical and my thoughts first. But since the stage performance cannot be done by one alone, ultimately it’s me putting all our favourite ideas and creating them together. And for that, I won’t forget to be thankful.”

“Paris in the Winter Fog” talks about an adolescent who silently awaits for the opportunity of revenge. In the previous Grand Theatre performance “Years of Pilgrimage”, she plays George Sand, the lover of the protagonist played by Yuzuka-san. She’s played many mature roles on stage but during the interview, Towaki-san was always laughing a lot, giving a bubbly, cheerful image.

“I guess that’s how I am (LOL). But in the musical, I really love how bewitching that desolate atmosphere (in “Paris in the Winter Fog”) feels like. When I’m on stage, I turn on that (acting) switch and I also enjoy having that gap for myself. You could say that’s being precise...but I think it’s also through listening to the words of the director, thinking about how to play the role in theory, and I continue to face this challenge in rehearsal and pursue the role that I should be playing.”

Now when asked about what kind of role or scene she wants to perform in, she immediately replies “Dancing in suits, and being in extremely dashing scenes.”

“I was an onnayaku in the previous Grand Theatre performance so I though I didn’t do enough otokoyaku then (LOL). Otokoyaku is a unique existence that’s neither female nor male, and you can’t do it again if you’re not in Takarazuka anymore. Since there’s limited time for me to (be otokoyaku), I hope to have fun and make use of the time. It’s my ideal to be an otokoyaku encapsulating the smart and classic Takarazuka traits, and become most fitting in a black swallowtail coat.”

The current Grand Theatre performance “MAYERLING” is a classical work of the works in Takarazuka performed for many times.

“That alone already makes it a fantastic performance. The lines in Shibata (Yukirou)-sensei’s works are so beautiful and the more you act into the role, the deeper it becomes. I hope to have fun enjoying this process.”

Towaki Sea. Born in Tokyo. Entered Takarazuka Revue in 2011, assigned to Snow Troupe, had her first newcomers’ performance lead for 2015 “Lupin the Third”. Later on, she starred in 4 lead performances for the newcomers’ performances. She starred in “PRxPRince” in 2019 and transferred to Flower Troupe then. She starred in “Paris in the Winter Fog” in 2022.

Finally I watched Takarazuka Rurouni Kenshin musical. The ladies are amazing and I like it. If watched it before I watched Kyoto stage play musical I surely would say that it was the best adaption. My opinion kinda biased right now because of Kyoto stage play .

Some main poin that I like from Takarazuka: + music score really good, interesting + love the one who play saito +Seina Sagiri kenshin is goofy +miyu kaoru really sound like kaoru + really love Saito. Love the smirk +Aaah I can't believe I like Kanryu too +Tho the storyline kinda different I still like it I just wish they still add Udo Jineh in the storyline, but I still love the original character in this version.

Overall everything is really really good. Kudos for Koike Shuichiro sensei who’s writing and directing both Takarazuka and Kyoto stage play musical. He really know how to bring Rurouni Kenshin into live. Compared with live action the stage play much better in characterization and storyline (except the first movie, Rurouni Kenshin: Origin, it has good writing). For now, my favourite is still Kyoto arc stage musical.

And because Koike Shuichiro sensei excecuted Tokyo arc and Kyoto arc very very well… Is it okay to put hope and manifesting well adapted Jinchuu arc?

‘Yume no Nagori (3rd Story from Snowy Landscape (Yukigeshiki))’ subs

Download here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

This show is divided in three stories, this one happens to be the last one. It is timed for Sagiri Seina’s version aired on Sky Stage. There has been a DVD release and with some retiming it should work on it as well.

I do plan to revise my subs for the first story, but that one was done for Saou Kurama’s version.

For this one, it is a little bit like a revue with a story, there are a lot of dances and songs. It tells the story of some remaining Heike warriors waiting for a sign of the war against Genji. The ending is very dark, and from the beginning they talk a lot about suicide, so trigger warning for death and romantization of suicide. It’s not a story that goes deep in it, in case you’re in doubt.

Now the cast here is A+! We have Sagiri Seina and Saou Kurama playing the two brothers, Maihane Mimi is the lead musumeyaku, but we also have Otsuki Sayu, (a veeeery small) Ayakaze Sakina, Natori Rei, Asuka Yuu, Rinjou Kira... Don’t miss it! (Unless of course it may trigger you, then it’s not worth it).
