Thank you everyone for coming to the closing performance of Yuzuka Rei’s Special Concert “Be Shining–Glamorous Time!!”.
Thank you. Since the opening performance day on November 28 in Tokyo, we have been enveloped by the enthusiasm of everyone. Thank you all. We thought that may it be little, we want to repay our gratitude to everyone who has been supporting us, and have been preparing this concert with all our efforts. As the curtains drew up, everyone gave us so much, and everything that you gave us surpasses what we can give you every day. Every day I feel so moved, and also worried not knowing how to repay back. My heart has been overwhelmed with warmth and it is all thanks to everyone. Thank you. In the daily exchange corner, I’m embarrassed to share my poem with you all…It’s merely what I think when taking a shower, a description of mere 2-3 minutes of what I feel. But the feelings and emotions you give us all in these days are pale to coming near to describe the gratitude we have felt. I thought over it, day and night, in every moment, and I could never have the right words for it. It seems like my feelings for everyone has been condensed into a brief phrase of “thank you very much”. I truly thank you all. Next time, all Flower Troupe members will be assembled together in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre performance “Arc en Ciel”. Till Flower Troupe can come as one again, we will be sincerely anticipating to see everyone’s smiles again. We hope that everyone could stay well during this time. Thank you very much for today.

Everyone, thank you very much for coming to the opening day of the "Be Shining!! –A Glamorous Time-". I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
Thank you. I'm sincerely grateful that we could embrace the opening day safely and seeing everyone who would come to the theatre no matter the time and circumstances. Thank you. I felt again how everyone keeps supporting us, how everyone's applause warm our hearts so thank you again. I want to shout out to the world this feeling that I'm having. Thank you so much. As time passes, I'm someone that's about to graduate, but I truly feel again how happy the time is to spend with everyone. Everyone's eyes are really glittering and shining when you're watching the stage, and I'm so proud to share this time with you all. The performances in the Showa Girls' University will end on December 3. While spending this time with everyone, we will cherish each opportunity to perform, and deliver each performance energetically and powerfully. Also, even though there are siennes* absent, but wherever we are, our hearts are one as always. We will do our best in each performance so we hope you could look forward to us before the closing day comes. Thank you so much for today. (*Asanoha Kotono is absent for the whole run of performances.) Everyone, thank you for coming to the flower troupe closing performance of 'Singing Lovebirds'/'GRAND MIRAGE!'. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
First of all, to the people who looked forward to the performances from October 3-5th that were cancelled, we apologise if we have made you worry. During this period of rest, to meet our audience as usual again, flower troupe members and the Takarazuka Revue members took the time to take a rest physically and mentally to resume performing later [on the 6th]. And during this time that may have caused you concern, we received really warm and encouraging words and voices from the audience and we are grateful from the bottom of our hearts. thank you so much. From Tanabata day on July 7 at the grand theatre to the closing performance today on October 8th, even in the extreme, scorching and lingering heat, we felt the audience are filled with love, laughter and happiness, and we're beyond happy, thankful. Thank you so much. We’ll cherish these 3 months of time in our hearts, and connecting [these sentiments] to the next performances, we'll do our best of our hearts and skill, and continue to strive and improve, so we'd be grateful if you continue to support us. Thank you so much. Everyone, thank you for coming to the Flower Troupe Grand Theatre performance "Singing Lovebirds" "GRAND MIRAGE!" Opening day performance. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
Firstly, I'm grateful that we could finish the opening day performance without fail. Thanks for the audience members who came to the theatre. "Singing Lovebirds" is a long-awaited show for Flower Troupe as we haven't done a performance full of laughter for a while. I wonder if you've all enjoyed it? Thank you. "What are the essential things in life?" From Koyanagi's story, we learnt many things when we were rehearsing but today is when we create the performance together with the audience. That is how we feel the emotions together and build a more sophisticated tone into the musical. I hope everyone could enjoy this cheerful and light-hearted musical so please continue to look forward [to our future performance]. The show is "GRAND MIRAGE!". This show was directed by Okada-sensei and this was what he told us on the first day of rehearsals that is the meeting day: "Otokoyaku are grand and majestic; Musumeyaku are loveable and beautiful". He told us to cherish the process of creating this show and we remember his words dearly. When I heard his words, I felt like returning back to my roots, and in my heart [the image of otokoyaku and musuemayku] were of such clarity to me. I am sincerely joyful to challenge this [revue] performance. The musical and the show are both works that are "Takarazuka-styled". This two-set performance could only be done by us and could only be seen in Takarazuka. This is also a performance where you could see each and every underclassmen – from the downstage and the upstage, you can see them singing, dancing and acting, so please do not miss them out and look forward to their performance. Before the closing day, we performers will do our best so please give your greatest support for this Flower Troupe Grand Theatre performance. Thank you so much for coming today. Everyone, thank you for coming to the Tokyo Totemono Brillia Hall Flower Troupe “A Battlefield for the Two of Us” closing day performance. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
We received so much support in these days and more than anything the applause every day gave us so much strength till today. Thank you so much again. During this performance, I thought again how many lessons I’ve learnt, from the stage to the audience, sharing this time and space with the audience, it’s like acquiring new affirmations and I was able to experience every moment while acting and encountered many amazing moments, and for that I’m immensely grateful so thank you for your warm support. Tomorrow onwards, we will be meeting new performances and new roles, and while we each complete our tasks and commit to our responsibilities, we will do our best in our stage. From the things we’ve learnt and felt in this performance, we will utilise all of it to our next performance, so please support us greatly. Thank you very much! Everyone, thank you so much for coming to the Flower Troupe performance: Musical Romance, “A Battlefield for the Two of Us” performance. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
Firstly I am so happy that we could finish the first day successfully, I am thankful from the bottom of my heart. Everyone, thank you so much. This musical by Masatsuka-sensei is a restage performance after 29 years. We hope to deliver our solid performance to the passionate fans, who have been waiting for so long. That is why we are also nervous when it comes to the restage performance. Until today, Masatsuka-sensei has been teaching each and every one of us with great enthusiasm, caring about each and everyone. It was a rehearsal classroom that made me felt the joy and fun of creating a play with everyone, and the joy of being able to put it on the stage. Even though it is a short time before Senshuuraku, i hope that I could remember what Sensei taught us by hear,t so that everyone of us could have the sense of responsibility and sense of mission to a role, so that all of us could be together on the stage performance. We kindly ask for your support before the Senshuuraku in the Umeda Arts Theatre Main Hall and the Tokyo Brillia Hall closing day performance. Thank you so much for today! Everyone, thank you for coming to the Flower Troupe closing day Performance of “MAYERLING” “ENCHANTEMENT– A Luxurious Perfume–“. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe. Firstly, I’m beyond grateful that all of our members could finish all the Tokyo performances successfully. Thank you for all of your support that we could finish without fail.
It’s been a year and a half since we had a full performance Tokyo run, the last time being “Augustus” “Cool Beast” performances in May - July 2021. Thank you so much. It’s because of everyone’s support, so I’m sincerely thankful. Thank you so much. Also in these days, Flower Troupe members were working on “MAYERLING” as we were slowly embracing closing day and it was a precious time to be appreciative of. As we read this profound script and face these great challenges, we’ve learnt and acquired much. This was an irreplaceable and important time for us. And we reached the milestone of having 1 million audience members watching all of the “MAYERLING” performances (since 1983). This was also the 500th time “MAYERLING” was performed. Once again, we’ve received so much of your love and support, and we are very grateful for that. Thank you so much. Besides, today is also the birthday of Mary Vestera-san in “MAYERLING” played by Hoshikaze. I thought, “What coincidence”. So the Takarazuka closing day is the memorial day of Rudolf and Mary, the Tokyo closing day is Mary’s birthday…I thought “how wonderful is this destiny.” Then for the show “ENCHANTEMENT”. The same for us performers, but when we see the audience and when we all smile together, all of these moments felt such~~ a blessing for me. Performing this performance for the audience was a cheerful, joyful, warm, lovely experience and a show that I love very much. Thank you for your support. We’ve encountered this experience from the audience, from the performances, from the teachers. Flower Troupe will continue to our best so we hope that everyone could continue to support. Now with the four graduates, and also Minami Maito-san who will more active in Senka from now on, please continue to support them from now and from May onwards. Since all of our Flower Troupe members could finish all Tokyo performances, thank you so much for this time till today. Everyone, happy new year! I can’t help feeling excited seeing everyone on New Year’s Day. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
I’m very happy and grateful to start performing from New Year’s Day. Thank you everyone for coming today. Also as introduced, the musical this time is Shibata Yukihiro-sensei’s “MAYERLING”. It’s been 30 years since its Grand Theatre Performance and with Koyanagi-sensei’s direction, it’s performed again now. Also, I believe some people in the orchestra were also cast members from 30 years ago. I’m also touched by that. Performing this famous performance and singing those famous songs make me extremely nervous, but at the same time, I think the music then surpassed the 30 years of history and finding its way to the theatre, passing on the tradition and classic, as songs for everyone to hear. That is something monumental, but also something I’m proud to be part of. Thank you everyone for coming to watch us. And for the musical and the show, it’s like New Year where both are very grand and luxurious – in terms of the clothes and the stage set – it’s a very gorgeous stage. So, I’d be happy everyone thinks we’re looking forward to a good year. Every one of us will do our very best until the closing day comes, so please support us. Thank you very much for today. Everyone from Aichi-ken, thank you for coming to watch the Flower Troupe closing day performance of this national tour. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe in Takarazuka Revue.
Firstly, this performance is all completed by the performances together for this performance schedule. I’m very happy and full of gratitude. Because of everyone’s support, I’m so sincerely thankful. Thank you very much. Our Flower Troupe national tour began from Osaka, then to Kanagawa, Nagano, Miyagi, and then Aichi. In every place, all the audiences’ eyes are really glowing and I thought, “What a wonderful place Japan is”. I’ve contantly been thinking about this while touring. Thank you for everyone’s passionate support. Everyone’s warm applause is always our most important encouragement. This encouragement as our food of gift will be able to construct a team that will make everyone happy. We will unite together as one, and do even better. Please continue to support us and take care of us from now. Thank you all very much for today. Thank you all for coming to the opening day of this Flower Troupe national tour. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
The national tour has finally started, we as performers are very excited. First, we are starting the first four days in Umeda Main Theatre spending the time with everyone. This passion will start and continue in the next 6 venues of the national tour. We will be very excited about the audience’s presence. Also, I hope you could watch the musical slowly. The world of love painted by the late Shibata-sensei is…common, poignant, sophisticated and ephermal; this is a work that displays all of such strengths and vulnerabilities of Man when they are in love. Especially for this production, I hope the audience could give some imagination to the various interactions and exchanging of feelings. This production written by Shibata-sensei is directed by Oono Takuji-sensei. This musical is coupled with “Fashionable Empire” created by the love of Inaba-sensei. These two productions will be the national tour (performance) and as the performers we work hard together in this time, please support and take care of us until the closing day. And for those who have come to see us today, I am in heartfelt gratitude. Thank you very much for today. |
