In each Kageki, there is a ‘Troupe Report’ where someone from each troupe collects funny or interesting anecdotes or does Q&A with other members.
The April 2017 Troupe Report was written by Kisaragi Ren and focuses on the backstage of The Scarlet Pimpernel, as well as some Osaka travel tips from Top Star Kurenai Yuzuru!
Star Troupe Report – April 2017
A Well of Memories
Everyone in Star Troupe has tons of Valentine’s Day stories if you ask about it!! For example…
Someone laid an ambush in front of the library;
Someone thought it would be nasty to put chocolates in a show locker in case they got all smelly, and asked a senior student for help;
Someone gave chocolate to the same person for 5 years straight and eventually their feelings were returned;
Someone claimed they were giving hand made chocolate when actually they’d bought it at the store (LOL);
Someone ended up recieving chocolates from the boy they hated;
Someone gave homemade chocolate to three people instead of limiting themselves to just one!
…and many other episodes like that (LOL). Everyone’s so interesting…
Sir Percy’s (Kurenai’s) tastes
Apparently once when Jessup (Kizaki Reo) served Sir Percy tea and asked ‘would you care for milk’ he was turned down, so he decided next time he would try offering soy milk.
Jessup: “Will you take your tea with soy milk, sir?”
Percy: Ah…? Yes, with soy milk.“
He went along with it~! When he returned the cup, he commented with a huge smile “Thank you, it was delicious,” that one day only!! Jessup is continuing his search for teas that suit his beloved master’s tastes.
Chauvelin (Rei) has a lot of worries (Part 1)
“I spend the whole show glaring at everyone, so by the time it comes to the parade I kind of forget how to smile…”
President Robespierre (Nanami)
“I bought this~ ❤️”
I know this smile by now!
She took 2 guillotine pin badges out of the little box. “Look, aren’t they adorable? ❤️”
I wonder what kind of guilltine merchandise will turn up next…
Chauvelin has a lot of worries (Part 2)
Rei was thrilled to have a falcon mask at the press conference ❤️ She told Mercier (Seki Yurito) and Coupeau (Sazanami Reira) about it right away, and the three of them were very excited to get their falcon masks. However, it turned out Chauvelin was the only one to recieve a falcon mask. “They gave us DOG masks 😭” the other two reproached her.
Question for Kurenai Yuzuru: Please tell us your recommended sights and eateries in Osaka. (From ‘Kazune’)
“There’s the kushikatsu1 place in Tsuutenkaku, ‘Daruma’, and there are tons of old shops on Hozonji Yokochou2, off Dotonbori!! That area is my stomping grounds. So, what other questions are there? No more? That’s not enough questions!”
Everyone, please, please send in questions for Sayumi-san (Kurenai) and the other members of Star Troupe!
1 – Kushikatsu is a dish of meat or vegetables that are skewered and deep-fried in batter. Recipe here; information on ‘Daruma’ restaurant here.
2 – Hozenji Yokocho is a very old-fashioned street lined with small restaurants. More information here.
