The tour continues until November 8th and visits 15 locations, going as far as Hokkaido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Asaka\u2019s first national tour after ascending to the position of Top Star in February. During curtain calls on the first day of performances (on the 10th, at Osaka\u2019s Umeda Arts Theatre), Asaka smiled and said \u201cI want to share the charm of Takarazuka freely with everyone who doesn\u2019t know Takarazuka, so every day I plan to go onstage with a fresh feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also Asaka\u2019s first double feature show as Top Star. In this musical full of comedy touches, Asaka plays a free-spirited gigolo who ends up in a get-rich-quick scheme. The jaunty show refreshingly displays Cosmos Troupe\u2019s rebirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt makes me really happy to put on a show that warms people\u2019s hearts and can be said to represent Cosmos Troupe without exaggerating,\u201d said Asaka. About the audience\u2019s constant laughter, she said \u201cthe warm applause and laughter I heard became my strength. I think that the laughter gives a fresh feeling as well and is important to create the show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, the show tours Tokyo, Chiba, Nagano, Yamanashi, Niigata, Fukushima, Yamagata, Akita, Iwate, and Hokkaido. Asaka smiled and said \u201cpick up your suitcases and come with us!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This brief article about Asaka Manato&#8217;s Melancholic Gigolo\/Citrus Breeze III tour was published by Sankei News on October 25, 2015.
