<\/em>I’ve loved Takarazuka since I was a little kid, so I tried out thinking ‘I just really want to get in!!’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Mori Keaki’s Rose of Versailles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Everything I gained from my 9 years living abroad, and my whole family including my dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Foreign Language<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I was in the birthday club. It was a quirky sort of club where we did all kinds of planning to have fun celebrating all our birthdays (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I was just so happy to be able to stand on the stage of my beloved Takarazuka\u2026 \u2728 I was so emotional every day, thinking ‘I’m so happy I got in\u2026\ud83d\ude0a’. Even now when I start remembering my debut I’ll get emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I want to be a performer who has a lot of different experiences so I can grow as a human being as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Koto Marie-san and Toono Asuka-san. I respect them with all my heart both as performers and as people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>I never joined any clubs, but I got to take classic ballet instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I was so nervous the day I was supposed to give my debut address that I practiced over and over all over, like at the bottom of stairs when nobody else was there (laughs). Also, I was so happy at the audience’s applause when we crossed the Silver Bridge after the rockette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I want to be an actor with all the tools I need to accomplish any role I’m given. Also, I want to become a performer who can give dreams to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Among OGs, Wao Youka-san, and among current performers, Suzumi Shio-san. They are both so wonderful and dazzling, and I really want to be like them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
