Sakihi Miyu makes her acting debut playing her historic Takarazuka senior, Otowa Nobuko!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was publicized on the 24th that Sakihi Miyu (26), former Top Musumeyaku of Takarazuka\u2019s Snow Troupe who retired this July, will be making her debut as an actress in the Asahi mid-day drama The Story of Koshiji Fubuki <\/em>(Mon-Fri 12:30pm airtime), which starts in January of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the drama, Takimoto Miori (26) plays the famous post-war star Koshiji Fubuki (died 1980, aged 56), a former Takarazuka Top Star1<\/sup> and singer who was called \u2018the Queen of Chanson\u2019, in the story of her life. Koshiji performed as an otokoyaku Top Star in her time in Takarazuka, and after retirement recorded many hit songs, such as ‘Hymne a l’Amour\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Sakihi plays Koshiji\u2019s Takarazuka classmate Otowa Nobuko (died 1994, aged 70), who became a famous actress after retirement. As Ms. Sakihi is making her acting debut playing her historic senior, who also performed as Top Musumeyaku in Snow Troupe, she is unusually motivated. Her acting skills have been highly praised since her time in Takarazuka, so she stands out as a performer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the storyline of the drama, Ms. Sakihi, who returns to her ‘old haunts\u2019 to play her character from her time as a Takarazuka Music School student, says emotionally \u201ceverything\u2019s new to me, but everyone helps me out and I am learning new things every day.\u201d Regarding the responsibility of playing the famous actress Otowa Nobuko, she says \u201cas I watched various materials of hers I started thinking that she was a really alluring person. I\u2019m also explaining to Ms. Takimoto, in my own way, how precious the relationships between otokoyaku and musumeyaku are.\u201d As she has the most personal experience, she is advising Ms. Takimoto, the lead, about Takarazuka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am aiming to become an actress like a Jack-in-the-box, someone who will make people think ‘she\u2019s such an interesting person\u2019,\u201d she says about her future ambitions. As she uses her great talents from Takarazuka to brighten this drama, she is rapidly climbing the stairway to stardom as an actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – While the article uses the Top Star\/Top Musumeyaku terms, and Koshiji and Otowa were leading performers, the terminology is not historically accurate as the Top Star system dates to the 1970s. However, Japanese sources often use this terminology for older stars for ease of comprehension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
