rose_of_painDay 3 – Favorite Revue
Takarazuka Dancing Dreams - Hana 2004
I tend to prefer the revue shows that have at least some type of connecting theme throughout the show. And I especially love the ones that kinda have a sorta "story" going on. Which is why I also really enjoy Nova Bossa Nova, even though I have such a hard time calling that one a "revue" at all. XD Most of the regular revues, I'll find myself really loving one particular routine that stands out but the rest of the show may be kinda "meh". It depends. But there aren't that many revues were I really can say I loved the entire thing. Might just because I haven't watched enough since I do tend to watch more of the big shows. But anyways, Dancing Dreams, as old and cheesy as it is (lets not even start on the wigs), is one of the few where I can truly say I loved the entire revue.
The show is centered on Greek mythology, something I've always loved since I was wee little. And it has some of my favorite siennes in it. Though every time I watch it, I still can't help but be like "...Mizu? Kiriyan? What are doing in my Hanagumi?" XD As this show is during the short period of time where both of them were in the troupe but I'm so used to Mizu in Yuki and Kiriyan in Tsuki, it just seems kinda...wrong. But I enjoy the chance of seeing them interact anyways. Also the fact that the artwork for the program was done by Amano and Yoshiki did some of the music for the show...how can you not love this show? It has so many levels of awesome to it. Its really hard for me to pick a favorite scene in the show but I do love the whole part where Zeus gets accidentally shot by one of Eros' arrows and goes after like every woman in sight...plus Ganymede. XD I love the shocked gasps of all the girls when he kisses the boy. Haha! That and the Narcissus bit is really well done.
I think its a show that even if you know nothing about Takarazuka, you can still enjoy because you don't need to know any Japanese to follow. As long as you know at least basic stuff about Greek mythology, you'll get it. XD
