Sagiri Seina\u2019s #1!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We surveyed all the Snow Troupe members about what was Sagiri Seina\u2019s \u2018Number One\u2019!! And now, what are the results? Have a look, along with Sagiri Seina\u2019s comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[T\/N: Sagiri\u2019s commentary is in italics.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite role she has performed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 – Lupin III (Lupin III: Chase the Queen\u2019s Necklace!) – 17 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like Lupin the best too!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s because he\u2019s fun, and mischievous, and cool, and like an anime character, all in one!\u201d – Kanou Yuuri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLupin is really fun, and over all he has a very masculine heart, so he\u2019s really wonderful.\u201d – Suwa Saki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoa\u2026 You\u2019re all so good at writing comments! [laughs] Knowing that you still think about it this way makes me so happy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 – Vaslav Nijinsky (Nijinsky) – 10 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChigi-san [Sagiri] was just too perfect for Vaslav\u2019s delicacy. And she and Kita-san [Oozuki] were so hot together.\u201d – Chikaze Karen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe secret night rehearsals left a deep impression on me [laughs].\u201d – Touma Kazuki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hahaha! [laughs] We were practicing the scene where I\u2019m together with Kita-san night after night, and the underclassman would come to watch and get really excited [laughs]. I feel like Vaslav is a role I could only have done at that time, and I enjoyed performing that part. That\u2019s thanks to all the performers who were so into it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 – Sakamoto Ryouma (JIN) – 9 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 – Amano Haruaki\/Kinosuke (One Night of Stars) – 9 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt made me really happy since he was with a character with the same name as me, \u2018Sen\u2019.\u201d – Agata Sen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gosh! What an adorable comment, I suppose it\u2019s because you\u2019re a ken-2 [laughs].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 – Alain d\u2019Orleans (The Count\u2019s Daughter) – 5 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 – Mercutio (Romeo et Juliette) – 5 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the role that completely changed my mental image of Chigi-san: her Mercutio caught hold of me so much that I couldn\u2019t look away!\u201d – Nozomi Fuuto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oooooh! Since this was a revival after the Star Troupe performance, I wanted our troupe to shine and nothing to look ordinary, so I was really out for blood [laughs]. Perhaps that\u2019s what caught Daimon\u2019s [Nozomi] eye? [laughs] For me, I think Vaslav or Mercutio would be my second favorite role.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sakihi Miyu:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of them! <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what part, her character development is right on, so it\u2019s impressive to see her take on a new role. Among her parts, Sasuke from \u2018Complete Devotion\u2019, or Ogita Souji from \u2018Man of Starlight\u2019 and things like that\u2026those reserved performances of shows in a Japanese setting! I really admire those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This girl, she\u2019ll always try to escape by saying \u2018everything\u2019 [laughs]! But, to bring up Sasuke, she really knows her stuff\u2026 [laughs]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What is her best revue scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 – Shining Rhythm, scenes 5-6 \u2018Shining Cool Rhythm\u2019 (Man on Street A) – 16 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bit of the choreography where she comes through the door in the set and does one kick is the best.\u201d – Ayakaze Sakina<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first kick did me in!\u201d – Machi Yuuka<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choreographer, Bryant-san, was so cool! All of my practise was focused around \u2018I want to kick like that!\u2019, so I\u2019m happy you all saw the results!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer costumes, choreography, rhythm, hand movements, everything was so cool that i was completely star-struck.\u201d Hoshino Anri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh! I was coupled up with Anri-chan in the Chuunichi performance, although in the Grand Theatre I was with Ayucchi [Manaka Ayu]. Their methods of expression were different but they were both awesome. With 2 different partners I had twice the fun, so I loved this scene!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 – Congratulations Takarazuka!, scene 13 \u2018T is Friendship – Affection\u2019 (Sagiri) – 5 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven though I was playing a girl and dressed as a nun\u2026I was able to high-five with Chigi-san [laughs].\u201d – Kujou Asu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahahaha! I forgot you did that [laughs]. I was dedicated to having fun in this scene! Depending on the day, I would perform in idol style, enka style, comeback star style\u2026 Some of the audience might have been a little put off [laughs], but I started enjoying it more and more, so much that I think it\u2019s thanks to this experience that I was able to pull off Lupin! But I\u2019m surprised to see it so far up!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 – My Dream Takarazuka, scene 3 \u2018Dreamer Stage\u2019 (Dreamer Man A) – 5 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 – La Esmeralda, El Final C-E \u2018Escalera Grande A-C\u2019 (Se\u00f1or S) – 5 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChigi-san\u2019s glittering passion as she led the other otokoyaku was dazzling!\u201d – Nozomi Fuuto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daimon didn\u2019t appear in the otokoyaku dance, so she must have been watching from the audience seats. All of us were trying to show off, including the junior actresses, and somehow I would get really excited to do it too, so we were all smiling through that scene [laughs].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 – La Esmeralda, Historia 9 \u2018Siren\u2019 (Gentleman Pirate S) – 4 votes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sakihi Miyu:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these, too!!! <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sagiri-san\u2019s singing and dancing is so lively and I really love it! Sagiri-san is always passionate, but during the scenes of the finale with the grand staircase she seems to be even more energetic so I\u2019m fascinated. Oh, maybe the finale scene from the recent Rurouni Kenshin!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, she did it again!! You don\u2019t need to put a heart, just pick one!!! [laughs]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
