FEATURING: Mizu Natsuki, Ayabuki Mao, Otozuki Kei and Ayana Oto

NOTES: Extravagant concert of Takarazuka stars including our beloved Mizu of Der-Tod-in-2007 fame. So many of the songs are SO much fun. Trades as very limited, 3:1 ratio.

CAST: Ryuu Masaki (Ronan Mazurier), Manaki Reika (Marie Antoinette), Mishiro Ren (Louis XVI), Saou Kurama (Georges Jacques Danton), Asuka Yuu (Lieutenant du Puget), Seijou Kaito (Lazare), Touka Yurino (Yolande de Polignac), Ayazuki Seri (Jean-Paul Marat), Kouzuki Ruu (Jacques Necker), Nagina Ruumi (Camille Desmoulins), Miya Rurika (Count of Artois), Hanahi Mira (Solène Mazurier), Tamaki Ryou (Maximilien de Robespierre), Saotome Wakaba (Olympe du Puget), Akatsuki Chisei (Hans Axel von Fersen)

NOTES: DVD release! VOB w/smalls version, for those of us among the proletariat who can’t handle Blu-Ray file sizes

CAST: 真風 涼帆 Makaze Suzuho (Dmitry), 星風 まどか Hoshikaze Madoka (Anastasia), 芹香 斗亜 Serika Toa (Gleb), 寿 つかさ Kotobuki Tsukasa (Dowager Empress Maria), 美風 舞良 Mikaze Maira (Tsarina Alexandra), 桜木 みなと Sakuragi Minato (Vlad), 綾瀬 あきな Ayase Akina (Paulina), 和希 そら Kazuki Sora (Countess Lily)

NOT MY NOTES: Cosmos troupe. Untouched copy of the commercial release bluray. Includes booklet scans.

NOTES: An utterly delightful TZ original about the "Mean Boys" at a prestigious high school and the outcast girl who might bring it all crashing down. The music is catchy, the staging is pitch-perfect, and I really, really hope the cast was having as much fun as it looks like. Depressed from watching sad musicals? Watch this one; it's a delightful treat.

CAST: Mizu Natsuki (Dmitri), Shirahane Yuri (Agrafena), Mirai Yuuki (Fyodor), Ayabuki Mao (Ivan), Ayana Oto (Pavel), Saou Kurama (Alexei), Ootsuki Sayu (Katerina)

TAKARAZUKA: Takarazuka Revue is an all-female Japanese theatre company (divided into troupes) and...way of theatre, I guess. Basically an entire culture, in which performers train from a special high school onwards, and features both translated Western musicals and Japanese originals, including plenty of romance plotlines.. This is a HUGE deal in Japanese theatre, very awesome, and not very common in trading.

NOTES: Yes, "high school teacher" - this is Count of Monte Cristo, but uses "students reading the book for school" as a way to wrangle the original story's plot a bit. 2013 production streamed in 2015.

CAST: 龍 真咲 Ryuu Masaki, 愛希 れいか Manaki Reika, 星条 海斗 Seijou Kaito, 憧花 ゆりの Touka Yurino, 沙央 くらま Saou Kurama, 凪七 瑠海 Nagina Ruumi, 美弥 るりか Miya Rurika, 珠城 りょう Tamaki Ryou.

TAKARAZUKA, HUH?: Takarazuka Revue is an all-female Japanese theatre company (divided into troupes) and...way of theatre, I guess. Basically an entire theatrical culture, in which performers train from a special high school onwards, and features both translated Western musicals and Japanese originals, including plenty of manga-based shows. This is a HUGE deal in Japanese theatre, very awesome, and not very common in trading.

CAST: Haruno Sumire (Der Tod), Ootori Rei (Elisabeth)

​Notes: Takarazuka Flower Troupe. Last Performance, DVD rip

CAST: Jun Sena (Elisabeth), Nao Ayaki (Der Tod), Hiromu Kiriya (Luigi Lucheni), Midori Hatsukaze (Franz Joseph), Yuhi Ozora (Kronprinz Rudolf), Anri Mimi (Sophie), Misao Hoshihara (Max in Bayern), Oto Ayana (Rudolf als Kind), Yura Natsukawa (Herzogin Ludovika), Eri Yoshizuki (Frau Wolf)

NOTES: A second version of the 2005 Takarazuka Elisabeth cast (Moon Troupe), but this one has soft Japanese subs...plus the full curtain call/revue and some extras from the DVD!

CAST: Shirahane Yuri (Elisabeth), Mizu Natsuki (Der Tod), Otozuki Kei (Lucheni), Ayabuki Mao (Franz Joseph)

​

NOTES: Takarazuka. Snow Troupe. Proshot. Mizu Natsuki pushes the aggression---this role was made for her.

CAST: Asumi Rio, Ranno Hana, Hokushou Kairi, Nozomi Fuuto, Yuzuka Rei

NOTES: Pro-shot of the 2014 Takarazuka Flower Troupe’s Elisabeth! This is for those of you who don’t want the 40-file, 40GB version. Power to the download bandwidth peasantry!

CAST: Rion Misaki (Elisabeth), Asaka Manato (Der Tod), Hikaru Aizuki (Luigi Lucheni), Makaze Suzuho (Franz Joseph), Minato Sakuragi (Kronprinz Rudolf), Chitose Junya (Sophie)

NOTES: Cosmos Troupe’s 2016 production. Not the shinjin koen cast! Asaka Manato is a brilliant Der Tod and...uh...this is one of the hottest Die Schatten werden länger I've seen...

CAST: Madoka Hoshikaze (Elisabeth), Hikaru Rukaze (Tod), Sora Kazuki (Lucheni), Makise Rui (Frank Joseph), Chiaki Takato (Rudolf), Mari Setohana (Sophie), Seri Homare (Max), Shigure Risaki (Ludovika), Maia Hanaki (Frau Wolf), Sakura Koko (Little Rudolf)

​NOT MY NOTES: Takarazuka Sky Stage TVRip, HD picture. Shinjin koen performance!

NOTES: Shinjin koen shows feature younger, rising stars from the troupe! There are only two shinjin koen performances per show, so this is a big deal, a cool video, and a very very good sign for the future.

CAST: Shizuki Asato (James), Hanafusa Mari (Rosaline), Wao Youka (Christopher), Kozuki Wataru (Andrew), Izumo Aya (Nanette), Hoshihara Misao (Henry), Natsukawa Yura (Morgan), Oomine Mayu (Merlin), Ootaka Tsubasa (Count Bloom)

NOTES: NHK broadcast of the lush 1998 production. NOT Artus Excalibur or Xcalibur, but...vaguely...Arthurian. I do not think people in the Middle Ages dressed like that. I do not particularly care. Trades as VLT, 3:1 ratio.

Asumi Rio (Spirit of the Rose), Hana Yuuki (Charlotte), Yuzuka Rei (Harvey), Takashou Mizuki (Dignitas), Mebuki Yukina (Mary Anne)

NOTES: Contains the full A Fairy Tale (musical) and Charme! (revue)! This was Mirio's (Asumi Rio) final production before she retired, after a BRILLIANT reign as top star. Video is 1080p HD, ripped from the Blu-Ray and split into free-Mega-account-size bites.

CAST: Yamato Yuuga (Scott Fitzgerald), Ayano Kanami (Zelda Fitzgerald)

NOTES: Takarazuka Cosmos Troupe. Includes high-res booklet scans (600 dpi)

CAST: Ouki Kaname (Reinhard von Lohengramm), Misaki Rion (Hildegard von Mariendorf), Itsuki Chihiro (Duke Otto von Braunschweig), Isono Chihiro (Kaiser Friedrich von Goldenbaum IV\Vice Admiral Moore\Greenhill), Mikaze Maira (Lady Susanna von Benemünde), Asaka Manato (Siegfried Kircheis), Aihana Chisaki (Annerose von Grünewald), Nanami Hiroki (Paul von Oberstein)

NOTES: Takarazuka adaptation of a really excellent manga/sci-fi novel series by the serendipitously-named Cosmos Troupe. I absolutely love some of the music in this one.

CAST: Ouki Kaname (Reinhard von Lohengramm), Misaki Rion (Hildegard von Mariendorf), Itsuki Chihiro (Duke Otto von Braunschweig), Isono Chihiro (Kaiser Friedrich von Goldenbaum IV\Vice Admiral Moore\Greenhill), Mikaze Maira (Lady Susanna von Benemünde), Asaka Manato (Siegfried Kircheis), Aihana Chisaki (Annerose von Grünewald), Nanami Hiroki (Paul von Oberstein)

NOTES: Limited 2:1 trade. Another heavenly performance by this stellar cast of such an out-of-this-world show—this time, in glorious HD that will leave you starry-eyed.

CAST: Asumi Rio, Flower Troupe

NOTES: A concert/revue performance starring Mirio (Asumi Rio) in honor of her birthday (really more of a revue performance than a concert). This is TOO MUCH FUN, it's almost criminal. Ripped from the Blu-Ray.

CAST: Sagiri Seina (Arsène Lupin III), Sakihi Miyu (Marie Antoinette), Yumeno Seika (Inspector Zenigata), Daigo Seshiru (Mine Fujiko), Nozomi Fuuto (Count Cagliostro), Ayanagi Shou (Ishikawa Goemon), Ayakaze Sakina (Jigen Daisuke)

NOTES: Includes both shows, Memories of Barcelona and Nice Guy!!! (Two !! are part of the title. The third ! is because, how cool.)

CAST: 礼 真琴 Rei Makoto (Mozart), 舞空 瞳 Maisora Hitomi (Constanze), 凪七 瑠海 Nagina Ruumi (Salieri), 悠真 倫 Yuuma Rin (Leopold), 万里 柚美 Mari Yuzumi (Anna Maria), 小桜 ほのか Kozakura Honoka (Aloysia)

NOTES: To paraphrase another trader on the differences between the Zuka and French MORs: The cast here is amazing, and the show is a lot more like a real musical than Salieri's BDSM nightmare.

CAST: Wao Youka (Georges Malraux), Hanafusa Mari (Katherine McGregor\/Peggy McGregor), Yamato Yuuga (Vincent Romero), Ritsu Tomomi (Mark Stein), Isono Chihiro (Komarov), Misato Maya (Paolo Caleras), Kotobuki Tsukasa (Max van Dyck), Ryouga Haruhi (Francisco Aguilar), Shijou Rui (Ellen Parker), Yuumi Hiro (Bill Grant)

NOTES: Based on the movie, yup! SkyStage broadcast, perfect quality. It’s a Zuka original musical, and the music is really fun (to match the movie and the show, of course).

CAST: Makaze Suzuho (Danny Ocean), Hoshikaze Madoka (Tess Ocean), Serika Toa (Rusty Ryan), Sakuragi Minato (Terry Benedict), Kotobuki Tsukasa (Saul Bloom), Mikaze Maira (Ann Woods), Junya Chitose (Diana), Kanon Mai (Teresa), Sumiki Sayato (Frank Catton), Rinjou Kira (Reuben Tishkoff/Nick Stein), Matsukaze Akira (Ricardo), Hoshibuki Ayato (Harry Woods), Aishiro Moa ( Beth), Sorahane Riku (Basher Tarr), Mitsuki Haruka (Taylor), Haruha Rara (Paula), Setohana Mari (Ruby), Hanaki Maia (Sapphire), Amairo Mineri (Emerald)

NOTES: NHK broadcast of the 2019 Cosmos production. Still based on Ocean’s 11. There’s the rare but livestream-standard quality blip when there’s a whole bunch of pixels having to change at once, but it doesn’t hurt the viewing experience at all.

CAST: Makaze Suzuho (Danny Ocean), Hoshikaze Madoka (Tess Ocean), Serika Toa (Rusty Ryan), Sakuragi Minato (Terry Benedict), Kotobuki Tsukasa (Saul Bloom), Mikaze Maira (Ann Woods), Junya Chitose (Diana), Kanon Mai (Teresa), Sumiki Sayato (Frank Catton), Rinjou Kira (Reuben Tishkoff/Nick Stein), Matsukaze Akira (Ricardo), Hoshibuki Ayato (Harry Woods), Aishiro Moa ( Beth), Sorahane Riku (Basher Tarr), Mitsuki Haruka (Taylor), Haruha Rara (Paula), Setohana Mari (Ruby), Hanaki Maia (Sapphire), Amairo Mineri (Emerald)

NOT MY NOTES: Snow troupe. Untouched copy of the commercial release Blu-Ray. Includes booklet scans.

CAST: Tamaki Ryou (Jose), Manaki Reika (Carmen), Asuka Yuu (Lieutenant Zuniga), Touka Yurino (Frasquita), Kagetsu Miyako (Estelle), Nagina Ruumi (Mérimée/Garcia), Uzuki Hayate (Remendado), Remi Kurea (Susanna)

NOTES: Yes, it’s Carmen, but in Zuka form!

MAY'S NOTES THAT I LOVE AND AM COPYING: "if I was only able to watch one theatre video/bootleg for the rest of my life, it'd probably be this one. Daimon is absolutely amazing, she gives such a beautifully heartbreaking, vulnerable performance as Erik and the forest scene in act 2 never fails to make me tear up. she & Kiichan are absolutely sensational together and their chemistry is unparalleled (best combi!). you can really feel the entire troupe's love and passion for this production in this DVD. I genuinely can't recommend this video enough."

CAST: Asumi Rio (Edgar Portsnell), Yuzuka Rei (Alan Twilight), Senna Ayase (Baroness Sheila Portsnell), Itsuki Chihiro (King Poe), Asuka Yuu (Master Custer), Takashou Mizuki (Old Hannah), Hanano Juria (Rachel), Mebuki Yukina (Blavatsky), Seto Kazuya (Baron Frank Portsnell), Saezuki Runa (Oswald)

NOTES: Based on the manga, with some real bangers mixed in. And are you really going to argue with a 1-2 of Mirio and Rei?

CAST: 龍 真咲 Ryuu Masaki (Puck), 愛希 れいか Manaki Reika (Hermia), 星条 海斗 Seijou Kaito (Oberon), 憧花 ゆりの Touka Yurino (Titania), 沙央 くらま Saou Kurama (Helen), 凪七 瑠海 Nagina Ruumi (Lionel), 美弥 るりか Miya Rurika (Daniel), 珠城 りょう Tamaki Ryou (Bobby)

NOTES: Streaming capture. Trades as limited, 2:1 ratio

CAST: Makaze Suzuho, Hoshikaze Madoka, Serika Toa, Seijou Kaito, Kotobuki Tsukasa, Mikaze Maira, Junya Chitose, Kanon Mai, Sumiki Sayato, Ayase Akina, Rinjou Kira, Matsukaze Akira, Aizuki Hikaru, Hoshibuke Ayato, Aishiro Moa, Sorahane Riku, Yuino Kanari, Fuuma Kakeru, Mitsuki Haruka

NOTES: Also known as "The Sky Is on the Banks of the Red River." It’s the Takarazuka original version of the Hittite Empire from the 14th century BCE with swords, sandals, and glitter. There’s also a plot and a love story, but Zuka going Hittite is what was missing from my life.

CAST: Takane Fubuki (Vicomte de Valmont), Hanafusa Mari (Marquise de Merteuil), Todoroki Yuu (Chevalier de Danceney), Wao Youka (Comte de Gercourt), Hoshina Yuri (Madame de Tourvel), Kisaki Miri (Cécile Volanges), Aran Kei (Azolan), Konno Mahiru (Julie) Ebira Kaoru (Court Director), Kyou Misa (Madame de Rosemonde), Saotome Sachi (Madame Volanges), Asuka Yuu (LeBlanc), Suzuka Teru (Gavotte), Izumi Tsukasa (Robert), Akari Nami (Madame Etienne), Madame Delannoy (Itsumine Aki)

NOTES: Wait, you mean there’s a Takarazuka version of Les Liasions Dangereuses, the source material of my beloved Cruel Intentions? Can the stars align for me that much? Uh, I mean! Mari and Yuki (Takane Fubuki)’s acting and chemistry steal this one. Making the emotions even starker, this was Yuki’s last show before she retired!

CAST:柚希礼音 Yuzuki Reon (Roméo), 夢咲 ねね Yumesaki Nene (Juliette), 凰稀 かなめ Ouki Kaname (Tybalt), 紅 ゆずる Kurenai Yuzuru (Mercutio), 涼 紫央 Suzumi Shio (Benvolio), 天寿 光希 Tenju Mitsuki (Paris), 一樹 千尋 Itsuki Chihiro (Lord Capulet), 音花 ゆり Otohana Yuri (Lady Capulet), にしき 愛 Nishiki Ai (Lord Montague), 花愛 瑞穂 Kawai Mizuho (Lady Montague), 英真 なおき Ema Naoki (Father Laurence), 真風 涼帆 Makaze Suzuho (Death), 白華 れみ Shirahana Remi (Nurse), 礼 真琴 Rei Makoto (Love)

NOTES: Commercial DVD release of the Star Troupe’s 2010 RetJ! (Or “Romijuri” which is the cutest thing ever.) You know, I read one author say that Zuka performs a lot of happy, pretty romances. Because “happy romance” is exactly what comes to mind when I think of Elisabeth, Phantom, and Romeo et Juliette. Yep.

CAST: Ryuu Masaki (Romeo), Manaki Reika (Juliet), Asumi Rio (Tybalt),Ema Naoki (Friar), Miho Keiko (Nurse), Koshino Ryuu (Lord Capulet), Hanase Mizuka (Lady Montague), Seijou Kaito (Benvolio), Touka Yurino (Lady Capulet), Ayazuki Seri (Lord Montague), Miya Rurika (Mercutio), Shimon Yuriya (Paris), Prince of Verona (Kizuki Yuuma)

NOTES: One of several Takarazuka productions of one of several Takarazuka versions of the Rose of Versailles manga. (Unsurprisingly, I am looking to trade for the other versions!) Non-English musical theatre's obsession with the French Revolution is fantastic. I am here for this.

CAST: Asumi Rio (Hans Axel von Fersen), Ranno Hana (Marie-Antoinette), Serika Toa (Oscar François de Jarjayes), Fuuto Nozomi (Andre Grandier), Naoki Ema (Count de Mercy-Argenteau), Takashou Mizuki (Louis XVI), Hanagata Hikaru (Marshal de Broglie)

NOTES: Takarazuka takes on the French Revolution yet again; this time it's the Star Troupe!

NOTES: SkyStage capture of the Flower Troupe’s Zuka original—two song/dance revues, the first linked by a loose story whose music is fun and whose plot is Maito in a biker jacket flirting with you

CAST: 安蘭けい Kei Aran (Don Lockwood), 大和 悠河 Yuuga Yamato (Cosmo Brown), 陽月 華 Hana Hizuki (Kathy Selden), 真飛 聖 Sei Matobu (Lina Lamont), Akira Ban (Roscoe Dexter), Kyouku Fuji (Dora Bailey), Misao Hoshihara (R.F. Simpson), Aki Itsumine (Zelda Zanders/Woman in the Green Dress), Yuzumi Mari (Miss Dinsmore/Olga Mara), Miki Asazono (Rod), Hikari Asamine (Nanette)

NOTES: It's about time that I actually have a boot of the musical I get my trading name from, right? ;)

CAST: Yamato Yuuga, Hizuki Hana, Ranju Tomu, Nanaho Hikaru, Kotobuki Tsukasa, Kuni Natsuki, Misato Maya

NOTES: A revue composed of segments based, fittingly, around the planets. In my next life, I want to come back as a Takarazuka costume designer, because daaaang. I'm in love.
