Oozora Retirement
Jan. 3rd, 2012 02:25 pmYuuhi retiring. Now that Kiriya and Oozora are retiring there goes my first two loves in Takarazuka.
My first dvd was 2005 Elisabeth so I fixated on Luigi and Rudolph. The more Moon troupe dvds that I bought the more I saw Kiriya and Oozora throughout the years. During the Sena years the comedy with the three was perfect. They made a perfect partnership.
I thought that she would never be a top star. The most I hoped for is that she would be kumicho of the Moon troupe. That was shattered when she was transferred to Flower. I was so disappointed and missed seeing her with Kiriya and Sena. It was nice to see them on the same stage during TCA 2008.
Then the announcement....top star of Soragumi. I didn't think she would pull that off. How wrong was I? She has been amazing. Her pairing up with Sumika has been successful. Every interview I've seen has Oozora making Sumika laugh and their acting has been wonderful.
I timed my 2010 Japan trip when both Moon and Cosmos were performing so that I could see my two favorites.
I saw Oozora in Trafalgar/Funky Sunshine. Oozora is famous for her death scenes and Tralfalgar was no different. When she died I heard sniffling all around me. This from people that have probably seen it 6 times.
I'm so glad I saw her in person. I can't imagine Oozora without Takarazuka or Takarazuka without Oozora.
