Zuka Advent: Day 4
Dec. 4th, 2012 07:33 pmDay 4 - Favourite Pair Dance
...all of them? lol I seriously tried to think on this all day long and I couldn't really decide. I really haven't had one that stood out among them. But I think I've just never paid enough attention to remember each individual dance. The worst part is that when I did think back through them, I kept thinking like "Ooh that one had those costumes!" and then I had to stop and go "Lyn. This is about the dance, not what they're wearing. >>;;" Why do I focus so much on just the outfits?! I can't help it. I've even had to stop shows and rewind to actually see what happened 'cause I dazed out, starring at the outfits and trying to figure out how they were made. I do that with movies and things too. ^^;;
But anyways! I will say though, that the pair dance in Seal of Roses keeps coming to mind. I'm not sure why. I think maybe its just 'cause it was one of the first pair dances I ever really truly paid attention to. 'Cause my first few takarazuka shows, I was too busy being amazed by anything, I didn't pay much attention to the finer things. But by the time I saw Seal of Roses, I was more aware of them I guess. That and I could watch Rika dance forever and I loved her with Emi so much.
And in case any of my non-zuka fans are trying to read this meme and wondering what the hell I'm even talking about... At the end of (almost) every Takarazuka show, during the finale, the top pair have a dance that's just the two of them and its always very lovely. Sometimes they'll still have the wigs on from the characters they were playing but typically they have taken those off at this point and are wearing more modern formal dance wear for this part. So its much more a dance between the actresses than the characters they portrayed.
