Mid-00s Takarazuka stills just hit different

“My Love Lies Over the Mountains (2011)” subs

This is big drama. It’s a classic (though the script is already quite different from the newest version before it, the tone is still what you expect from classic zuka).

If you can look past the problematic world view, or even if you enjoy these too-dramatic stories, there is a lot to appreciate.

You should note that though this takes place in old Korea, the book it’s based on is Japanese. I also have no idea of Korean names so I didn’t really try to guess what the intention was.

Trigger warning for war, weapons, death, suicide, very indirect mention of rape (because the main character is kidnapped she mentions they might thing it happened to her).

Moreover, this was the first show I’ve ever translated, and it was done by ear. I did check it, but I didn’t do it from scratch, so a lot things I misheard back then may have influenced me hearing the wrong word again.

That said, I love this show. It’s crazy, so crazy, but I just can’t help it. Kiriyan and Marimo and Masao are great as the main trio, the costumes are so pretty (no idea if they’re the correct ones for the time they portray though), the songs are excellent. I love recommending it for group watchs, as it’s rich for discussions.

Timed to the Sky Stage video, but it’s the same video as the DVD, so you should be able to easily adjust it. Let me know if you need help!

(As mentioned, this is a modified script from the 1999 version, and I assume from the others too, so though of course it could help you understand, the changes are many)

10 11 years, 10 11?? top stars: pt 6

ICYMI, I was celebrating my blog’s 10th birthday by streaming 10 of my favorite top stars and now I am celebrating its 11th anniversary because I can't get shit done to save my life :)

Profile #6: Sena Jun

Cheating a bit because while Asako is pretty distinctly top 10, this is also a 3-for-1; nibante of Asako-era, Kiriya Hiromu, is battling a few others for a spot on this list, and Ayano Kanami might be my favorite top musumeyaku of all time. Combi moe aside, a few things I love about Asako:

Look at her. She's hot.

The spectrum of otokoyaku types I appreciate is fairly broad, but if I had to pick one type to be top of every troupe for the rest of time to stop the world ending for some reason, it would be hard to beat the Asako vibe: sultry, broad-shouldered (comparatively), can do comedy and drama with equal fervor, hot. Classic otokoyaku.

Although it fizzled into utter chaos at the end, overall I loooooooove her Tsukigumi era. Great vibes, great shows.

Did I mention she's hot? (This might be my shallowest pick)

Top Asako memories:

Asako has the honor of being the star of my very first live theater experience in Japan! I saw her as Reno in Anything Goes approx. 12 hours after landing in Tokyo in 2013, painfully delirious but blissfully happy.

Stream #6 will be Ernest in Love (Moon 2005)

WHEN: Thursday, June 13 at 9am ET (That’s NY time)

WHERE: DM me for link (please don’t be shy!). If you’ve attended one of my streams before, it will be at the same link.

I do not have subs for this, but it's Ernest in Love. Read up beforehand to follow along! (and if anyone has access to a decent translation, please let me know)

NEWS 24.08.23

- After Maisora Hitomis retirement there will be no new Top Musumeyaku replacement.

- By rating for each work, various musumeyakus will demonstrate their individuality and deliver rich and attractive performances to our customers, so we look forward to your cooperation in the future.

Not having a Top Musumeyaku in a troupe happens from time to time.

- 2010-2011 When Otozuki Kei became Top Star after Mizu Natsuki they didn’t replace Aihara Mika’s Top Musumeyaku position. Maihane Mimi was selected as Top Musumeyaku in 2011.

- In 2008-2009 after Ayano Kanami’s retirement Sena Jun was performing without a Top Musumeyaku until her retirement in late 2009 and the Top positions went to Kiriya Hiromu and Aono Yuki.

- 2004-2005 Ayaki Nao was left without a Top Musumeyaku for her two last performances before retirement. Emi Kurara was Ayaki Nao’s partner in 2004 for a few months before retiring later that year.

- This has occurred several more times in the history of Takarazuka, just naming a few ^.^

Aoi Kiriya

★~ Name: Aoi Kiriya ★~ Age: 16-17 ★~ Birthday: January 31 ★~ Blood type: A ★~School : Starlight School ★~ Occupation: Idol, Actress ★~ Idol group : Luminas and STAR☆ANIS ★~ Hometown:Tokyo ★~ Series : Aikatsu

Tagged~ StarlightAoi

Interesting Facts:

★~Her zodiac sign is Aquarius.

★~Her favorite food is sandwiches and she dislikes hot food because of her sensitive tongue.

★~Her special skill is to never forget an idol she's seen.

★~Her catchphrase is "Odayaka janai." (穏やかじゃないわね), which is frequently borrowed by other characters in later episodes. The phrase has multiple meanings depending on the context, but literally, means "This isn't normal/common." with Aoi's use of it.

★~Aoi considers herself to be Ichigo's number one fan and has said it several times in the series.

★~She is the third idol to get her second Premium coord.

★~Aoi is 157cm tall.

★~When she was young, she learned how to play the piano, ride horses, write calligraphy, and play the violin. This makes her the first known idol to have participated in the classics during her childhood.

★~Kiriya (霧矢) Kiri (霧) means fog and Ya (矢) means arrow. It's considered that surname Kiriya takes from Hiromu Kiriya (霧矢大夢) a top star of Takarazuka Revue.

Aoi (あおい) is the Japanese name for hollyhock (written as "葵" in kanji). It also the adjective form of "ao" which means blue.

About:

Aoi and Ichigo have been best friends since they were young. The two first met at a festival where the latter was dancing to Guppy, an idol.

She's highly knowledgeable about idols and the entertainment industry, but before that, she studied many cultural arts such as the violin, horseback riding, the piano, etc.

As a result, she is often referred to as the “Idol Professor” (アイドル博士 Aidoru Hakase) or Aoi-sensei (あおい先生). After the two joined Starlight School, it was revealed that Aoi got the best score out of around 1000 people on the test about past idols for the entrance exam, having answered every question correctly.

At the end of Episode 2, she became Mizuki Kanzaki's temporary manager after winning an audition against Ichigo. Her favorite brand is Futuring Girl and her stage color is blue.

Aoi is a calm and bright girl. She is very intelligent, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge and excellent analytical skills. She is highly determined towards her goals and approaches them very seriously.

Aoi makes sure to plan ahead and research as much as she can for a situation. She is hard-working and has a bit of a perfectionist streak.

As a child, Aoi quickly became interested in idols after discovering the freedom and excitement of it, which was a strict contrast to the traditional arts she partook in.

Since then, she has dedicated herself to idols and has studied idols ever since. She appears to be quite lucky as she is seen throughout the series meeting several idols she is a fan of.

She is known for being much more mature than Ichigo and tends to keep her on the right track, but has times when she can get very excited.

While normally she seems confident and in good spirits, deep down Aoi is afraid of the fact that she knows it's possible she and Ichigo won't both rise to stardom together as planned.

Kiriya Hiromu as Medda in Toho Stage’s 2021 production of Newsies

[senajun4ever]

Zuka at a family reunion

Sena gives the mom vibe she will set the table and help in the kitchen. All the unrelated men there think she’s hot and are not being subtle whatsoever. Also some kids ship her and their dad so she can be their new mom

Rio is the wine aunt who met your kids once and they won’t stop talking about her. You think she’s a bad influence and she’s probably turned your children against you. Your kids love Rio more and you just have to accept that

Mizu is that one uncle who’s always there but you never talk to. The older you get, the more you believe shes affiliated with the Mafia. Now it’s been years and your family hasn’t heard from her for a long time

Sagiri is that one cousin who stresses you out, and you kinda hope you don’t ever have to see her again. Her laugh is drilled into your head. Also frequently comes up in convo because the rest of the family loves her

Shizuki is your aunties’ cousins’ boyfriends’ sisters’ friend who teaches the young children how to do karate and self defence in the middle of dinner time once you ask her about what she does for a living

Kiriya is the wine aunts (Rio) boyfriend who drinks a lot of beer but is also that manly material that the younger kids at the family reunion fall for. Years later those kids realize that was weird of them

Ryouga is that one person you sometimes see, usually quiet in the corner. You don’t know who she’s related to but your just gonna trust she’s in the family

Komu is the older cousin y’all strive to be but can’t. The younger cousins want to be like her cuz she’s cool and sits at the adult table. She doesn’t really see this as a family reunion, more of a place to assert absolute dominance over those tiny children

Yuzuru Kurenai is the one with the pretty laugh that you can always recognize. She’ll buy her nieces and nephews anything they want because she wishes she had children of her own. Very nice pretty girl and popular with the single men at the reunion but they don’t stand a chance

So this is the most important photoshoot that has ever happened

“Ernest in Love” (2005) subs

Download here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

This show wasn’t translated by us but a part of the subtitles done and offered by @oozorin​ so you guys can have easier access.

The translation was done aurally, and like me, by someone whose first language is neither English nor Japanese.

This show was synced to Sky Stage, so you’ll need tools to retime it, let me know if you need any help!

I haven’t watched this one and now I definitely will, but this cast is really A-list quality, I looove Mihoko and Asako is unquestionable. Shirosaki Ai wasn’t Top Musumeyaku because they didn’t want her to be, I can’t think of a reasonable reason. And Kiriyan deserves all our love, of course. This isn’t a show to be missed, and I feel embarrassed that I have all this time.

Since I didn’t watch, I won’t be able to tell if there are any differences to Juri’s or Mirio’s versions.

I’ll keep releasing the other subs these days, don’t forget to check!
