The Takarazuka 9 Feature: Moon Troupe (Takarazuka MOOK)

[Machine Translation] The long-awaited 9th series of "The Takarazuka" series, which started in 1997, has been brushed up and released. The first of the series will be the "Tsuki" troupe, led by top star Anzu Hougetsu, who is known for her mature and receptive personality. The book starts with a chic and sophisticated cover featuring Anne Hougetsuki, Yuzuno Kazama, and Shu Li Amagasaki, followed by portraits of the various stars, a discussion of the charms of Tsuki class, and an all-members profile that carefully introduces everyone from the upperclassmen to the 111th class members who have just been assigned to the troupe. The book is packed with highlights. In addition, this series features beautifully dressed portraits of the male stars of the troupe. The Tsuki group wore black tails, the formal attire for male actors, and their dandyism is a visual must-see. There is also a fun section that shows the true charm of the students of Tsuki class, including a collection of selfie shots decorated by the students themselves. In "Hougetsu Anzu Presents," Hougetsu's own ideas are incorporated into two special projects that show the bond between the students of Tsuki class. The standard "Message Board Juzu Tsunagi" is a special version in which everyone draws lots at the same time, and the characters of each person emerge from the circle of various connections. The charm of the students of Tsukigumi, their humor, and their strong unity can be felt in "The Takarazuka IX Tsukigumi". Please enjoy this book, which reveals the secrets of our theatrical skills and thoughts on the stage, and unravels the "now" of the ever-evolving Tsukigumi troupe.
