MATCH – Will the two be able to give the same answer...!? Top Combi Challenge!!
Q: Please draw Yuzuka as Chronosuke in "Genroku Baroque Rock"!
— Yuzuka Rei: (Obviously cunning) Since I can't see myself, I don't remember [how I looked]! — Hoshikaze Madoka: (scribbling) No, there should more strokes...no, the nose should look sharper... REVEAL!! — Yuzuka: You can tell it is Chronosuke by the lines, right? (*She wrote: "If I could turn back time" and "Kira!!") — Hoshikaze: I made his shoulders broader (LOL). |
Yuzuka: This line won't be said by anyone apart from Chronosuke. I don't know why I wrote the lines in stroke-format either.
Hoshikaze: Ahaha (LOL). Yuzuka: Madoka-chan is quite good at this. You could see this is drawn by a girl. Hoshikaze: No, no, it's difficult [to draw humans]. |
— Yuzuka: But wouldn't you say it's the same how we drew the angle of the bangs? It's a messy version after he dances (LOL).
— Hoshikaze: That truly looks the same! |
Q: Please draw Yuzuka Rei's dog Noah!
— Yuzuka: No, no, no, no~! My drawing is so bad! — Hoshikaze: Noah-san ♥ — Yuzuka: Where do they sell the talent of drawing? — Hoshikaze: Let me also draw Kuri-chan♥ REVEAL!! — Yuzuka: This is a cat. No matter how you look at it's a cat! — Hoshikaze: What do you think? |
Yuzuka: Even though I see him every day, I couldn't remember it...
Hoshikaze: "I should remember it, but when I try to think about it myself, there will be a part that I don't know about." Yuzuka: Lyla's line (LOL). (Played by Hoshikaze in "A Battlefield for the Two of Us") I think this looks closer to a racoon dog. (*Noah is a pomeranian dog) |
Hoshikaze: Noah-san has long legs.
Yuzuka: Right, right~. Hoshikaze: Also he smiles when he looks at his owner (*Rei). Yuzuka: He's always smiling. Oh, flowers are blooming here. Is this when he's taking a walk? Hoshikaze: He's taking a walk♡ Even though they can't get along well, I'll imagine that he's thinking of Kuri-chan (Hoshikaze's dog) Yuzuka: You're so good at this! |
Q: Since the next Takarazuka Grand Theatre performance is "Singing Lovebirds", please draw the "mandarin ducks".
— Yuzuka: I'm tired of drawing. (LOL) — Hoshikaze: Is it like this? REVEAL!! Yuzuka: I tried drawing the two of us in the preview image of "Singing Lovebirds" (LOL). Can you see this is me crossing arms with Madoka-chan? Hoshikaze: I can see it from this drawing! I tried drawing the birds on the sides of the title logo on the poster~. Yuzuka: But did you know? That mandarin ducks change partners every year? Hoshikaze: What~! (LOL) |
Q: Your similarities are...?
--Yuzuka: What is it...Ah, right, we have that, don't we? We do that at night... — Hoshikaze: Wait, which genre of similarity? REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Long LINE calls. — Don't we do this! Hoshikaze: Insistent. — It's hard [to think] Yuzuka: Ah, that's true too. We are very insistent [on things] (LOL). We'd do LINE calls at who-know-what length (LOL). Hoshikaze: I know it's tiring for you, so I'm sorry for always chattering about! Yuzuka: No, it's because I talk a long time too. (LOL) But for us, we feel okay with long line calls . Hoshikaze: Huh? Did we stop talking? Then either of us would send a video to the other. (LOL) Yuzuka: Sorry, sorry, I'm usually the one finding the video. So that we continue our conversation (LOL). --> |
Q: The person you are most looking forward to in Flower Troupe?
— Yuzuka: Don't we have her? Our new face! — Hoshikaze: New? Wasn't she previously here? REVEAL!! Yuzuka: AYAKI. Hoshikaze: Akari-san. — Oh, thankfully [the same]. Yuzuka: When Aka-san (Ayaki) is coming back from Star Troupe back to Flower Troupe again, it feels like "She's back!" Hoshikaze: It's my first time working with her. Yuzuka: After all, when a new wind blows, there will be a change in the Flower Troupe atmosphere. Hoshikaze: (nods) — Yuzuka: The problem is that there's too many interesting videos in the world~!
— Hoshikaze: That's right. |
Q: The role you would think of when speaking of Yuzuka Rei?
— Yuzuka: I'm the type that easily forgets past memories. — Hoshikaze: Huh~~ Like all of her roles! — Yuzuka: I'll rely on Hoshikaze-san to see what you'd write. — Hoshikaze: No, I can't think. Please don't count on me for the answer! REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Top Hat Jerry Travers Hoshikaze: TOP HAT Jerry Travers♡ — BOTH: We did it~!! Yuzuka: I was mixed with [choosing] Elio ("Sorrowful Cordoba") Hoshikaze: I like all your roles. That's all that I want to say. But when I watch it again, this would be the role that I hope you to continue playing. Yuzuka: "This would be" (laughs *at the formal speech) But [Jerry] was [a] fun [role]. Hoshikaze: Yes! Very fun!! I also look up to Yuzuka-san's Lizst a lot ("Years of Pilgrimage") Yuzuka: Yeah! I like Liszt a lot~ |
Q: The role you would think of when speaking of Hoshikaze Madoka?
— Yuzuka: What would it be? — Hoshikaze: What kind of roles have I played? REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Top Hat Dale Hoshikaze: Dale Tremont Yuzuka: Since we were just talking about it in the previous question, the songs [in Top Hat] start playing from the very beginning, but if you look at the costumes they're cute too. I was moved by how the costumes were so suitable. Hoshikaze: I was very happy that you were Jerry (Yuzuka) and I was Dale (Hoshikaze). Yuzuka: What does that mean? (LOL) Hoshikaze: You were so cool, and you would say that you wouldn't be able to embody the role "if I didn't see through [their viewpoint]". Yuzuka: (LOL) But as we are rehearsing for "A Battlefield for the Two of Us", I think that [my favourite ranking] for Lyla will rise. Hoshikaze: Wow, really? Yuzuka: You're very suited [to play this role]! Even though I don't know yet since it is not opening day (LOL). |
Q: An episode that was touching for you
— Yuzuka: Every day is moving to me~ How about writing "The daily XXX..."? — Hoshikaze: It really is something about "Daily XXX" REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Changes. Hoshikaze: Daily changes. — I got it! I got it!! Yuzuka: Even though I was also thinking of "Daily achievements". Hoshikaze: During "TOP HAT", we rehearsed "CHEEK TO CHEEK" a lot and it was moving that we finally did it. At first we couldn't make it at all. Yuzuka: It was hard with all the turns~ Hoshikaze: There were videos at that time that we could look back, but it was completely different from how we did it at first and at the end. But Yuzuka-san would try and simplify the difficult things, "here, here" you would say, and the audience would probably not think it was difficult... Yuzuka: No, no, it was difficult. (LOL) But the improvement made me feel happy, somehow I would feel the emotions of the roles...and that was happy for me. Hoshikaze: I'm happy with that too. |
Q: An episode where you both erupted into laughter
— Yuzuka: Hey, that's the only one! — Hoshikaze: Oh, I know which one! REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Titanic (Theme) — Even though I would say I cheated [and looked]... (LOL) Hoshikaze: Titanic fake theme song with recorder?? — I know right away. Yuzuka: It was a funny video (LOL). Hoshikaze: This video is too much (LOL). I laughed till my abs hurt. Yuzuka: It's called "The worst Titanic theme" and you can feel the vibes starting from the intro, and there's this uncle that pretends to be cool that plays on his recorder the Titanic theme, but strangely it's too out of tune (LOL). Hoshikaze: It was frankly too realistic (LOL). Even playing the recorder could look that funny. Yuzuka: Then both of us erupted into laughter. (LOL) |
Q: Please do "the cutest pose"!
REVEAL!! — Yuzuka: Wow, it's the same! — Hoshikaze: Hey! Q: Please do "a cool pose"!
REVEAL!! — Yuzuka: I've never thought of how to strike a cool pose, so I'm not sure~ (LOL) |
Q: Where do you both want to go on a vacation?
— Yuzuka: Yes! How many days are we given with? I want 1 week! — Hoshikaze: Can we not think about travel budget? REVEAL!! Yuzuka: Italy, Spain, Austria Hoshikaze: Venice, Vienna, Spain, NY (New York) etc... (Hawaii, Maldives, Korea) |
Hoshikaze: I wrote it in a whim. (LOL)
Yuzuka: Ambitious (LOL). All in a week? Hoshikaze: It's quite the impossible vacation. Yuzuka: I also want to go to New York but I give up because of the geography. But there's a big difference depending on the country or city you go. Hoshikaze: Right! Yuzuka: We've talked about wanting to go to the countries that our performances [plot] were based in. For the et cetera ones such as Hawaii and Maldives, I wish to go together too but I can't go to Korea. Hoshikaze: Because you don't like spicy food a lot (LOL). Yuzuka: Yeah! Hoshikaze: No, I'm taking you with me. Let's go on a vacation to overcome that! Yuzuka: What~ (LOL) |
— Somewhat a silly...photo.
|
— Somewhat a photo where both stood [on the chairs].
|
— A sudden little skit of bowing to the emperor (LOL).
