A"R"ex Poster


OMG KIRIYAN.


That's all I have to say

I get up at 4 am needing a drink of water and decide to check and see if maybe, finally, they put up the roles.


Ther did.

Too tired to do anything right now, but here you go

First, the less-talked about news:
Takarazuka experienced its 1.5 millionth Elisabeth attendee. Granted, this number goes by ticket sales and thus is rather skewed, but it's impressive nonetheless! The lucky girl who was attendee number 1,500,000 was able to go on stage with the cast of Elisabeth during a special curtain call, have her picture taken, etc. Not only did she get to do THIS, but she also received a Visa gift card, junior suite hotel accomodations for two at Daiichi Hotel Tokyo and two SS seats for the Tokyo shonichi Elisabeth performance....

Lucky Girl!!!

-------------------

The best part about the TCA Video pages for the Elisabeth DVD being put up? The pages list the dates during which the performances were recorded.

Elisabeth DVD Recording Date: 06/08/07

Yes, they actually put up the page BEFORE the day when the DVD is going to be recorded. This is the first time I've actually seen it publicly available when the DVD will be filmed. Which means that if you are lucky enough to have tickets for June 8th, you're going to be seeing the show as immortalized on DVD.

As was done upon the Tsukigumi Elisabeth DVD release, Hankyu is yet again weasling more money out of our greedy little shiny-filled pockets....and here I am ready to hand over my entire paycheck and my proverbial first born.


TCAD-183 and TCAD-184 are the special Elisabeth DVD box sets, much like the ones released after tsuki's performance, but dare I say with even more wonderful goodies?

What goodies do we have?

• The 2-disc 2007 yukigumi performance DVD (TCAD-177). The DVD this time around has rehearsal digest, alternate angle footage, plus all of the Elisabeth we've come to know and love
  
• Two Special DVDs - Hanagumi's Tokyo Performance and senshuuraku messages (which I assume are the senshuuraku speeches), and Tsukigumi's Tokyo senshuuraku performance and messages/speeches. These all have most likely been broadcast on Sky Stage, but for those of us who don't have access to Sky Stage versions, it's a godsend.
  
• A smaller-sized version of the performance program.
  
• The most adorable thing ever - Paper Dolls! A special set of paper dolls and diorama backgrounds of the main cast (Der Tod, Elisabeth, Franz Joseph, Lucheni and Rudolf) from all 6 Elisabeth productions. That's 30 paper dolls full ove love and shiny! I fear to think what a certain roommate of mine would do with Komu!Rudolf and Tom!Luigi
  
• Finally, a lovely touch - a deluxe letter set with paper, envelopes, a quill pen, ink and wax seals.
  

(obviously, TCAD 183, the ¥65 000 version, is the one that has all 6 troupe DVDs in it, not just the Yukigumi '07 version)

Yet another DVD to add to the list:


Tsukigumi National Tour DVD - Dal Lake no Koi - 09/05/2007

Osaka Samurai... DVD release.... August 5, 2007.

Come August, I will be so incredibly broke, but it will be SO worth it.

Think that speaks enough for itself

Please tell me that Sora babies in an opening ceremony event aren't the most adorable things ever?!

(As Rose Ambassadors, they apparently unvieled a part of the garden and took part in a commemorative tree planting as part of the Hankyu/Hanshin "Friendship Fair"

I know it was all pretty much "go here, pull down this tarp; go here, move a shovelfull of dirt," but white pants in a garden, Nagi, dear? Just asking for trouble

*_*

They finally put up a poster for Dancin' Crazy and I'm REALLY quite fond of it.

This is one show that must be put out on DVD.... must

Hmm... the choreography list looks hopeful, too..... ^_~

( Look below the cut for the quick-and-dirty page translation I did back in January when the show was announced )

Is there any problem with adding OG shows like this to the TakaWiki?
