A long, hard, TOTALLY WORTH IT collaboration project with chemicalperfume and my first attempt at a script translation. This is one of my all-time favorite shows and I am thrilled to be able to share its beauty and sadness with the English-speaking fandom.
Misaki Rion x Asaka Manato Farewell Talk
From Takarazuka GRAPH, April 2017
MISAKI: I’ve had the privilege of being with you ever since I was assigned to Flower Troupe, and we even transferred to Cosmos Troupe at the same time, it’s a miracle that we’ve been able to be together like this all the way up until we became partners… so I thought for this last time, I definitely wanted to talk with Maasama. Thank you so much for coming today at this busy—this REALLY busy—time!
Sora Kazuki’s Numerous Records — #1: Kano Maria
From Takarazuka Graph, February 2017
NOTE: The title is a cute pun in Japanese… not so much in English, haha. Also the feature is accompanied by adorable pictures of the two of them in silly costumes (described below). Please buy Graph to see them!
ーA master chef and a fried egg?!
KAZUKI: When it came time to decide what to do for this momentous first installment, I thought Kano is a great cook so why don’t we go with this! It was a quick decision.
KANO: On top of that, it also reminds me of when the two of us used to hang out while I was still an underclassman in Cosmos Troupe… (haha)
