“Initial drawings of Haruka are softer and more feminine than they would later become; she was originally intended to be involved in the all-female Takarazuka Revue, playing male roles on stage. Although this was not included in the series itself, Takeuchi stated in an interview that she feels Takarazuka is “the maximum level of feminine emancipation. These actress cover all roles of the plays, even the male ones. I was inspired by them to create Haruka.”

New Japanese production of Elisabeth! Reminds me a lot of the Takarazuka productions, I wonder how they would compare…
Yuu Shirota is in rotation for Der Todd. :P I’m glad he’s still doing musicals.
ooh, now that’d be an interesting thing to do - especially because I could see and hear a lot of differences just from those 2 minutes. oh god, now you make me want to find a recording of the most recent japanese production and nitpick from the takarazuka recording that I have. why.
aside from the fact that I’m drawn to the multiple casting and the presence of actual men in this production (I’ve seen too many versions of this show thanks to takarazuka, haha), I’m personally excited about the fact that sena jun’s playing elisabeth again ♥ it’ll be interesting to see how she interprets the character now that she’s got three roles from this musical under her belt thanks to the kagekidan’s love for this show. ;)

days 17→19.
what I want to be remembered for: for being me, I guess. what else should I want to be remembered for?
a picture that makes me feel: this makes me feel like Tomu will become one heck of a top star someday. ♥
a passage from a book that has touched me: because I just spent a good few hours getting through a little more than 1/10 of atlas shrugged, this passage will be from said novel -
“He stood in the middle of the room, looking at her–and she saw a smile that came slowly, involuntarily, as if he had lost the ability to smile and was astonished that he should regain it. He looked at her incredulously, not quite believing what she was or what he felt. His glance was like a plea, like the cry for help of a man who could never cry. At her entrance, he had started their old salute, he had started to say, “Hi–” but he did not finish it. Instead, after a moment, he said, “You’re beautiful, Dagny.” He said it as if it hurt him.
“Francisco, I–”
He shook his head, not to let her pronounce the words they had never said to each other–even though they knew that both had said and heard them in that moment.
…She could have understood any change, but not the things she saw. There was no sparkle of life in his face, no hint of amusement; the face had become implacable. The plea of his first smile had not been a plea of weakness; he had acquired an air of determination that seemed merciless. He acted like a man who stood straught, under the weight of an unendurable burden. She saw what she could not have believed possible: that there were lines of bitterness in his face and that he looked tortured.”
