<\/em>I have really thick and strong hair, so much that they tell me no matter how many times I bleach it it won’t break down. So a hair stylist told me instead of hair oil to use hair milk instead. It seems like with my hair type, it’s easier for the nourishment to get into the hair with milk rather than oil. Also, I put oil into my hair to protect it before using a hair iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Music, maybe. I always had 5’s in Music, Home Ec, PE, and English, and I always had good grades in Social Studies as well. On the other hand I really struggled with science. And I can’t do math at all. I don’t understand any of it. I’m just like, ‘sin, cosin, tangent? What are those?’ (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220616_135048651.jpg\")

<\/em>29.6kg (right)
It’s 10 kilos more than last time!
I’m so happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Wristwatches, I think. If I see a cute one I’ll buy it on the spot. I like changing them out based on my mood that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220616_135051499-352x1024.jpg\")

<\/em>I’m a morning person, so in the morning I wake up with a snap! and open all the curtains and windows in my room with a swoosh! to get some ventilation. Then I drink some hot water with lemon juice, wash my face with carbonated water, and every day except days off I also take a bath before I leave. Carbonated water has a cleansing effect, and the fizzy feeling is so nice. Although sometimes it stings, too (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I love scents, so I’ll always put something on before I go to sleep. I have one for my car too, that plugs into the lighter socket. I prefer invigorating scents like citrus and tea trea oil to sweet scents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Milk. \u2026and\u2026green tea\u2026and carbonated water (laughs). I’ve been drinking milk without fair since I was little. I always drink carbonated water before I get in the bath. And I like cold brewed green tea, so I make it myself. Rather than food, I have to have my beverages stored up or I can’t relax (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I can! I’ve loved it for ages, so much that since I loved Bill from ME AND MY GIRL I’d practice at home for hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>It varies depending on the time and the role I’m playing. When I’m playing a calm character I’ll listen to classical music, and when I played Mercutio in Romeo et Juliette I wanted to listen to rock music, so I listened to a lot of songs by Ado. The way she latches on to the music is so cool and I try to imitate it when I’m singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>The taste of my mom’s cooking! She has a culinary license, so she’s just amazing at cooking. Even if I try to make something myself it won’t end up tasting like my mom’s. My mom really is awesome, I’ll think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>The beauty mark by my mouth? I used to hate it, but after entering Takarazuka everybody keeps complimenting me about it. It’s become my identification symbol (laughs), and recently I’ve started to like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220616_135043699.jpg\")

<\/em>I can do it in revues, but if I’m told ‘please wink now!’ it ends up really awkward. (Winks) Did I do it? Yay~!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Huh, I don’t knowwwww~. I have strong bones with thick knuckles, so I don’t wear rings a lot. But I did check my size once. When I played Percy in the junior cast of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL<\/em> (main cast: Kurenai Yuzuru), I went together with Arisa (Hitomi) who played Marguerite (main cast: Kisaki Airi) to buy rings for the wedding scene. Back then my left ring finger was probably size 11 or 13, I think\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>I guess it’s got to be my debut. It’s our first and last performance all together as a class, and even though all we appeared in was the rockette, they spent so much time on it in rehearsals. Looking back on it now it was a really valuable time. But above the rockette, it’s the incidents surrounding it that really stand out in my memory (laughs). In the dress rehearsal I climbed the Grand Stairs for the very first time, and I fell beautifully all the way from the top to the bottom! I ended up with some bruises but somehow I was okay apart from that (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Huh!? PE? Basket\u2026ball? Since my older sister did it. I never did anything except classical ballet, so the main image I have of PE is track and field sports. In ballet, I hated it when I couldn’t do something, so I’d get frustrated and cry a lot. That’s where I learned to hate losing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>They’re both pictures of my niece. (Looking at her phone) She’s so cuuuuute~. You can barely see my homescreen wallpaper but it’s my niece~so cute~. Her name is Yume-chan. I call her Mechi. I’m such a besotted auntie, I bring her presents every time I see her (laughs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
