Yuzuki Reon working towards first solo concert since Takarazuka retirement – \u201cWhat is a non-otokoyaku concert like?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuzuki Reon (36), ex-Star Troupe Top Star who retired from the Takarazuka Revue in May, held a press conference about REON JACK<\/em>, her first solo concert since her retirement, on the 11th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Yuzuki, who held her position as Top Star for 6 years\u2013an exceptionally long time by recent standards\u2013a solo concert not as an otokoyaku, but as \u2018Yuzuki Reon\u2019 is a challenge. \u201cI asked everyone ‘what is a non-otokoyaku concert like?\u2019\u201d While the concert is still in the planning stages, she said that she plans to perform a new song: \u201cI wrote it about my mental state after retirement, like my worries and how I hit a plateau.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She began performances for her first post-retirement musical, Prince of Broadway<\/em> in October. In order to rehearse, she stayed in New York for three months starting in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile I was in New York, everything around me was advancing so fast that I didn\u2019t realize that I myself had stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wrote her internal conflict of that time into song lyrics. After retirement, she was constantly asked things like “are you going to wear skirts? Are you going to wear your hair long?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut while I was in New York, I thought there wasn\u2019t anything where ‘I have to do things this way\u2019. If I want to grow my hair out, I\u2019ll grow it out then. I\u2019m glad I can become more feminine in my own timing. I want to show everyone how I am in real life,\u201d she declared about the change in her way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert will have singing, talk sessions and acting. \u201cOn Broadway, I wanted to convey the fun I was having onstage. For this performance too, I want to enjoy myself together with the audience,\u201d she said for PR. Yuzuki is taking her first steps down a new path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
