Thank you for sending so many questions this month \u2728 In order to get answers to all your questions, I went around to interview the Flower Troupe stars \ud83c\udf38<br>Enough of that, let\u2019s get started!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf38&nbsp;<strong>Asumi-san, Serika-san, Yuzuka-san<\/strong>&nbsp;\ud83c\udf38<br><em>For the cold winter, nabe<sup>1<\/sup> is just the thing. What is your favorite kind of nabe to warm both bode and soul? (O-Nabe)<\/em><br>Sayumi-san (Asumi): \u201cI love nabe \ud83d\udc96 I like all kinds of nabe, but recently the one I\u2019ve eaten the most is &#8216;onion pork shabu-shabu<sup>2<\/sup>\u2019 \u2728 It\u2019s packed with onions and pork is cooked in the soup shabu-shabu style, and it\u2019s all brought together with soba noodles!! Onions are good for the throat, and it\u2019ll warm you up nicely \ud83d\udc95 \u201d<br>Kiki-chan (Serika): \u201cThat crab nabe that Taso (Tenma Michiru) made was so delicious~ \ud83d\udc96 \u201d<br>Rei-chan (Yuzuka): \u201cI love yosenabe<sup>3<\/sup> and chankonabe<sup>4<\/sup>!!! You can\u2019t forget to include Maroni brand nabe noodles and Schau Essen weiners!!!\u201d she declared passionately, with sparkling eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf38&nbsp;<strong>Asumi-san<\/strong>&nbsp;\ud83c\udf38<br><em>Asumi-san loves fried chicken but has issues with birds. In Golden Desert a really large bird turns up; were you okay!? (Wild Turkey)<\/em><br>Giy (Asumi) doesn\u2019t have scenes interacting directly with the bird so that was fine but\u2026during the Tokyo dress rehearsal, when she was going to her standby spot in the wings, she saw a strange shadow\u2026 &#8216;Oh gosh, is that the giant bird!?\u2019 She didn\u2019t want to look again, so she picked another route to reach her standby spot \ud83d\ude23 That\u2019s the story she told me \ud83d\udc23<br>That giant bird\u2026really had a big impact, didn\u2019t it. Even though I watch it fall out of the &#8216;sky\u2019 every day, I\u2019m honestly not great with birds\u2026 The first time I saw it I unthinkingly was like &#8216;Gahh!\u2019 and it was really hard to get through that scene \ud83d\udca6 I really respect Rubaba (Marika Yume) for being able to pick up the giant bird!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf38\u00a0<strong>Minami-san<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83c\udf38<br><em>I was stunned by how beautiful Maittii (Minami) was as a woman in the 2016 Takarazuka Special.

Actually, before settling on the one in the show, I went through 3 versions\u2026 1: Cute long hair, like Elisabeth. But it didn\u2019t fit the song we were dancing to\u2026 2: A woven arrangement. But that seemed a bit off too\u2026 3: An updo that left my neck clear \u2728 I thought that one was best so I used it in the actual show!! I\u2019m really grateful to have been in the special and perform with so many people, surpassing troupe boundaries \ud83d\udc95,\u201d is what she said. Maittii is usually so handsome, but she made a massive transformation into a beautiful lady~ \ud83d\udc96That\u2019s all for this month!
