Elisabeth..

I was once (and still) addicted with these takarazuka videos which plays Elisabeth, the most successful German-language musical of all time. I personally love the Flower troupe version because Haruno Sumire who plays as Death really express her evil side thru body language and facial expression. Too bad, she already retired from the Japanese broadway industry. Below are my top list, most favourite part of the whole musical show performed by different troupe.

Saigo No Dansu by Hanagumi (Flower Troupe)
Death - Haruno Sumire
Elisabeth - Ootori Rei




Yami Ga Hirogaru by Tsukigumi (Moon Troupe)
Death - Ayaki Nao
Rudolph - Oozra Yuhhi




Otokoyaku Ballet by Hoshigumi (Star Troupe)
Death - Asaji Saki
Elisabeth - Shiraki Ayaka

Btw, if you guys were wondering what takarazuka is, it is actually an all women Japanese musical theatre in Takarazuka, Japan and mainly plays both male and female role. Most of their fans are female because they were attached with the feminine eroticism element portrayed by the takarazukas. It does look weird at first but after watching these videos, you'll understand what I mean.

Lastly, a BIG thanks to Reen who introduced me with this dramatic yet worthy to watch musical talent.
