From a sincere corporate employee to a supervillain, Tamaki Ryou shows off the breadth of her appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her new Grand Theatre production, Takarazuka Revue Moon Troupe Top Star Tamaki Ryou takes on the challenge of a very rare play with a modern Japanese setting as well as a revue with a storyline. \u2018Since I have the current Moon Troupe and my partnership with Manaki, I think it will be an adventure, so as an actor I couldn\u2019t be happier,\u2019 she said, eyes sparkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Company: Lesson, Passion, and Company<\/em> is a stage adaptation of Ibuki Yuuki\u2019s novel Company.<\/em> Tamaki plays Aoyagi Seiji, a young office worker at a pharmeceutical company who is ordered to go to a ballet performance and begins supporting them from the background. \u2018He\u2019s a very sincere, warm person. Whatever he\u2019s thinking he says clearly to the other person, and those words give encouragement and salvation.\u2019 Aoyaki becomes attracted to Manaki\u2019s character, a ballerina named Takazaki Minami. ‘This show is a bit different for the Takarazuka Revue, as the characters appear life-sized. Also, in this scenario, the women have more authority than the men, which is very refreshing and interesting. While with this more naturalistic presentation it will be difficult not to get swallowed up by the expanse of the Grand Theatre, I think I will learn a lot from it,\u2019 said Tamaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With lovely ballet scenes and the impactful flash mob scene from the original novel, where everyone in the city suddenly begins dancing, this show portrays the various excitements and troubles of ordinary life. ‘It\u2019s certainly different from the \u201cworld of dreams\u201d but I am hoping that it will leave a lingering impression so that people might think ‘I wonder if there is someone like Aoyagi in my company\u2019 or something like that.\u2019 It seems to be a story full of warmth, showing people doing their best in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accompanying performance\u00a0Baddy – The Bad Lot Came from the Moon<\/em>\u00a0is the first revue show by up-and-coming director Ueda Kumiko. It is a revue with a storyline, about a near future earth which is completely peaceful over every continent, and a supervillain, ‘Baddy\u2019 who comes form the moon. Tamaki\u2019s character, Baddy, is a cool heavy smoker who is pursued by Manaki\u2019s characer, the policewoman Goody. ‘Although I play a villain, there are humorous parts, and it\u2019s completely different from what I imagined (laughs). Even while everyone\u2019s chasing after him he has fun doing all sorts of things, so I want to convey that sense of freedom. I\u2019m really honored to have such a variety of roles for each production I\u2019m in. I want to be a performer who can always stir the imagination.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamaki Ryou is in her 10th year as an otokoyaku, and has held the position of Top Star for around 1 year and 3 months. ‘I can feel myself becoming more and more liberated currently. Since I have a very carefree nature at heart (laughs), I want to continue taking on new challenges this year,\u2019 she said with a smile that conveyed a sense of fulfillment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
