I tend to recognize a LOT of the music in Takarazuka shows. The obvious things are... well... obvious. Sometimes I know some of the more obscure things, too. Having just recently downloaded a bunch of things by Muse, I realized that one of the songs in the Arabia section of Fancy Dance is the song "Micro Cuts." (The other two songs in that scene, btw, are "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin and "White Queen" by Queen).

Out of curiosity, I went looking around because I KNEW that I knew the opening song to Zorro (which, incidentally, is really cool and intense). Having worked in a music store for years, I've heard LOTS of music of a million types. I recognized the style so I wandered around a bit.... and stumbled upong a surprise or two

This is the song in the opening of Zorro
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo

Familiar, mizukusa? ^_~

And the related links led me to... a cover of "Stairway to Heaven" by the same group

That, my dear friends list, is your musumeyaku dance / pair dace *_*

Because they use recorded music during these two parts, rather than the orchestra, should the audio be cut for the recording, it shouldn't be incredibly difficult to splice back in ^^;
