One of the yearly retrospective features from the December 2015 issue of Kageki, featuring Snow Troupe Top Musumeyaku Sakihi Miyu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking Back on 2015: Sakihi Miyu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Lupin III\u2013Chase the Queen\u2019s Necklace!<\/em>, which blended Takarazuka with Lupin III, I played Marie Antoinette, who is a frequent character in Takarazuka, but that show looks at her from a very different angle from Rose of Versailles<\/em>, as a woman with her own human weaknesses, so my impression of Marie Antoinette really changed. In Fancy Guy!<\/em> every scene had different themes so I was challenged with different songs and dances and learned a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the part of Tamayuu in the Hakataza production Man of Starlight<\/em>, the biggest challenge at the beginning was the Kyoto dialect. I played a woman older than Sagiri\u2019s character of Okita Souji, and I had a lot of people teaching me how I should act and the atmosphere I should have. I really gave it my all. While it gave me a lot of trouble, it\u2019s a part I\u2019m very fond of now. Also, I feel like I was more deeply into Fancy Guy!<\/em>, perhaps because I\u2019d been performing it a long time starting with the Takarazuka Grand Theatre performances. It was wonderful to be able to spend time performing in my beloved Kyuushu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The character of Sen in One Night of Stars<\/em> changed the ideas about musumeyaku roles that I held until then. It was a role I had to take on as a new woman. Director Ueda [Kumiko] told me a lot about the things she thought were important while putting the show together. La Esmeralda <\/em>has a really escapist feeling so it was a show that was very fun to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The national tour performance \u201cSorrowful Cordoba\u201d that I\u2019m rehearsing for right now is really a struggle. I\u2019m fighting to display burning passion not just on the outside but from my core. La Esmeralda<\/em> is a complete change from that so I really want to show everyone what a real Takarazuka revue show is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For next year\u2019s Rurouni Kenshin<\/em> we\u2019re working to not just reproduce the visuals of the manga, but to show its deeper aspects in our performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the yearly retrospective features from the December 2015 issue of Kageki, featuring Snow Troupe Top Musumeyaku Sakihi Miyu.
