Challenging various games to have episode talks!
EPISODE ROULETTE
Turn the roulette for an episode talk!
A hilarious story
—— Eh~ This is very hilarious, like REALLY hilarious~ Even though this was today’s story, for this time’s photoshoot, I went to the dressing room to get my hair spray. I didn't know why, but I saw the 100th musumeyakus (Oto Kurisu, Hoshikaze, Itotsuki) are wearing the spy costumes! I think they discussed wearing it together before. They probably thought I’m one of their classmates from hearing my footsteps, they welcomed me with ever bright smiles and found out not. I can’t help but laugh. |
I paid most attention to!
—— It’s a difficult one~ I paid most attention to the growth of my nephew. I’ve always received the videos, he started walking as he turned one year old and starting imitating others’ talking and I won't get tired of seeing him grow. Because the ages of the nieces and nephews of the Flower Troupe members are quite similar, so we feel the same about these children’s growth. Even if we can’t meet each others’ (nieces and nephews) seeing all these pictures made me want to protect their growth. When you’re small, don’t you often hear “Wow, you’ve grown so much~” a lot from some adults you may not even know? I’m confident to say I’m becoming someone like that (LOL). |
Reminiscent〇〇
——A sight only I can see! In the performances, my head thinks like a camera taking snapshots of everyone’s expressions. Be it for the Flower Troupe members, or for the audience, because I can really see everyone’s glittering and beautiful smiles. That moment I am flooded with such thoughts like “Wow, I want to share this with someone!” This is probably my unique and reminiscent SSS seat! Like in those theme parks, don’t you want to take photos beside the attractions? I hope to share these moments like showing them in Quatre Reves and everyone can bring these back home! |
I want to praise ♡
——This is real... I want to praise everyone that is living till now. No one expects this to be a long battle, but amidst all the unforeseen uncertainties, everyone is living each day to the fullest with determination. Everyone’s patient and fighting this through…that’s why when history changes so much in this time, the fact that the audience can live with us together, it feels like we’re “comrades”, that there can be plentiful difficult things but everyone is really working hard. So that’s amazing! |
CARD GAME
Choose a card each from top and bottom to see what combination you’d get!
Passionate x Underclassmen: “Fashionable Empire” Rockette Members
——There’s so many of them so I can’t pick one! When I see the underclassmen practising the rockette within themselves, it really is a feeling of “That’s the peak of youth!” They’re lively, and everyone was so aware, a group of reliable underclassmen thinking about efficiency in rehearsals. They can surely deliver a rockette that’s full of confidence! |
Cute x Douki: Kizuki Yuuma
—— She’d be so shy and curl herself up into a ball (LOL). It’s been a long while since we can finally act together in “TOP HAT”, but as a Senka member, it’s cute to see her huddle up when she’s getting respect from everyone (LOL). On stage she’s very dandy as a gentleman, exuding this great stage presence and also having a profound inclusivity for others. But then behind the stage wings, and in the rehearsal rooms, she'd be humbler than anyone and it’s cute when she quickly curls herself up. The way she speaks to the underclassmen and the gaze when she talks about performing arts is amazing. She’s provided so much support and yet she curls up small and have a cute gap like that (LOL). |
Alluring x Flower Troupe member: Mikaze Maira
—— She’s been in Flower Troupe for a year! Being the Kumichou for half a year, she’s always leading everyone so wonderfully and it’s because of her the whole vibe of the troupe changes. Not just about the performing arts, but also she combines our feelings together and makes everyone certain in their sense of aspiration and goal. I find Kumichou alluring because she has this flowing charm of brightness. |
DICE GAME
What did you get? Do your best performance based on the prompt you got!
(note: She did not get “Just a very bright” “Kabedon”, I wish...but it's just the cropping of the picture XD

Daring type or cautious type?
Tenma Michiru-san used to be very surprised and said this to me before, "I thought you're a cautious person, but you're actually not thinking too much into it!" It seems like there's a big difference between me being daring and being cautious. Surely, I did try moving houses within a week, even though the time and opportunities matter. Maybe because the time between me first knowing about Takarazuka and when I entered was short, so usually when I make important life decisions, I'd go by instinct and think "this is it!" and become more daring. But sometimes when I buy electronic products, I'd think twice and also research by asking someone who's more famiiliar...no, but I'm still daring. I tried going to overseas vacation before without any planning. Apart from thinking of souvenirs, I throw away things a lot anyway, so I don't think there's an episode of me being cautious (LOL).

How would you use a great sum of money?
There's not much chances to go to vacation or throw parties, so I hope that I could reunite the graduates and we could all go together on one gorgeous Hawaiian trip! Of course everyone has places they want to go and things they want to do, so let's have 3-4 days of free-time activities, and spare the rest of the time for an event we could all participate! Whether it's the Ken-1 to Ken-3 members, or Hitoko-chan (Towaki) who transferred, they haven't had the chance to do their special performances, and there's also other underclassmen who wanted to do these special performances, so this awesome trip should also have a party day. Also, maybe I'd buy villas for my parents, and start some business from there. Such as relating to educating children, or something that my mother who's taking care of children would enjoy...Since it requires knowledge to know how to use this money well, I'd first have to learn about these kind of know-how. |
Good luck? Bad luck?
I have good luck and I feel blessed by that. I feel fortunate to be able to create the performance with people I adore, and I've often been given such opportunities to experience this happiness. Maybe not so much in picking lots (LOL), but I'm living a life where I'm overwhelmed by these "things I love", so I'm happy to be gifted with those. |
The luckiest episode in life
Entering Takarazuka is a big thing, and it's quite lucky and happy (LOL). Because it's combined with things that I love doing, and I can meet with many wonderful people and got to learn various things. Not just about perfomring arts, but also I've learnt many things as a person in Takarazuka. I'd be a totally different person if I didn't enter (Takarazuka).

A moment when I just went betting for it
In the early stage of entering Music School, it was the day of deciding whether I want to be otokoyaku or musuemayku. But because it's still a new environment and my mind's still going places, I totally forgot about this...when I realised it, everyone was lining up, and then from the sides, they start calling "Otokoyaku!" "Musumeyaku!" one at a time! At that time, my height was okay to be at either so I was confused and anxious thinking "Eh, what should I do!?". Upon hearing the student in front of me saying "Otokoyaku", I went with "...Mm!" and chose otokoyaku, but that was really a bet for me. Even though I think now if I'd chosen musumeyaku what would it be for me, it's totally different with how we use the muscles, and since then my shoulder length also broadened and there's a really big difference there. |
A moment where my life was at stake
When I was an underclassmen, I went hiking alone to Mount Rokkõ in the rest days. It was winter and the weather was nice. After experiencing the scenery of the mountains, I went to the bus stop to return, only to realise there wouldn't be any more buses coming. I was starting to get anxious because no one was there and the sun's setting so the chilly wind started blowing. By the time I've already been standing for 20 mins in the cold, I thought my life's in danger. Suddenly, a bike passed by quickly, but I wasn't thinking of anything and just watched it go by. Somehow that biker returned and sent me to the nearest station. If not, I'd be on the news by then. I wonder how they're doing?

I'd protect them even if it risks my life
Protecting everyone's smiles is the foremost thing. It seems to ambitious, but I hope to protect everyone that I see in my vision, not just everyone in the troupe, but also the audiences to blossom in their smiles. I want to protect those that make the performances possible, the people who come to watch us in the theatre, the medical staff and caretakers who are still fighting till now, because everyone's working so hard. Anything that requires patience would be difficult mentally, which is why in the performances, I want to take snpashots of the audiences' smiles with the Yuzuka point-of-view camera! No matter when you're born, where you're born, people of different age and gender are all united to enjoy and imagine about these fictional stories, to laugh and cry together in this space of the theatre, don't you once again feel how amazing is that? That I'm able to experience these moments that make me grateful, it makes me all the more want to protect everyone from now on. |
TREASURE
Introduce your treasure
Videos and photos from Flower Troupe members
Before during the rest period of performances, there's like various videos sent to me like playing the ukulele and and singing, or reporting their recent updates. Even though it's really painful when the performances suspended, this kind of special communication became possible. |
—— Caption: No stopping 【Flower Troupe】 LOVE!
Letters from Flower Troupe members
Before the senshuuraku, we have a tradition of writing to people who's taken care of us in the performance. I've kept all of those letters from the performances I've done till now. I'm happy to read those words that usually are rarely spoken.

No matter if it's birthday wishes, TOP-anniversary, all of these congratulatory message albums are one of my most important treasures.

“Distant we are, yet close in the heart ”
It's a lyric from "A Vow Carried On By the Wind" in "Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern". During the pandemic, this always stayed in my mind, because it's such an important phrase for me. For the underclassmen who couldn't be in the performance, they made a video with such phrase during the performance suspension period. It gave me much encouragement. |
Art from the original manga artists
I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to perform manga original works on stage that I received the art from Yamato Waki-sensei who did "Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern", Hagio Moto-sensei who did "Poe Clan" and Kamio Yoko-sensei who did "Boys Over Flowers". Now when I look at these art, it's a wonder that I've been in these amazing productions. |
—— We set the theme as "When you return from work, or from school, don't you want someone waiting you like this at the closest station?" and take the photos. Is everyone healed by these photos after your tired days?
— Even when she checks the photos she's so cool
