rose_of_painDay 8 – Best Photobook/Mook that was ever printed
Ehhh, I don't own any photobooks either and don't know enough about them to give an answer there. I do like the Elisabeth Mooks though. XD Those are like the only ones I'm familiar with. I own the Hanagumi one and Carrie has the 2007 Yukigumi one.
Day 9 – Favorite Theme Song from a Show
God why are these all so hard?! XD I love too many theme songs. But the one that comes to mind first is...
Les Rois Du Monde from Romeo et Juliette (not quite sure what the Japanese name for the song is). And well...pretty much all the "themes" from this show. I'm not sure which is considered the actual theme song. I guess probably Aimer, which I love too but I love this one more. XD And I know I could be proper and upload the song from my own soundtrack instead of linking to this random upload I found...but I'm lazy. lol
The other one that comes to mind is "Into The Fire" from Scarlet Pimpernel but alas I can't seem to find a clip or upload of that. Even though I guess "A Piece of Courage" is technically the theme for the Zuka show, I feel like "Into The Fire" best sums the show up though. But here, have some "The Riddle" instead. XD Which even though its not a theme song, its still amazing and the only clip I could find from the show...
(...and somehow Chie ended up being in both of these links. XD hahaha, can't help it, I love her voice)
...and yeah, I know both songs I selected here are actually from Western shows. I tried to think of themes that are Takarazuka originals but these are my favorites so it was tough. XD;
Day 10 – Most horrible Outfit ever (on- or off-stage)
Ok so I was going through revues I've seen ('cause lets face it, the worst outfits all come from revues) to select the worse and I got to Le Bolero Rouge and well...this isn't so much a case of "horrible outfit" as it is "horrible wig"...
Rika should really never be put in a blonde wig. Ever.
And then I totally forgot about this, which happens in the same scene only a few minutes later...
...which I think gets my answer as the wig is even worse and well...I unfortunately couldn't get a screenshot that shows the full monstrosity of this but I think you get the idea.
And well, Mami didn't get off scotch free in this scene either...

Date: 2012-12-12 02:28 am (UTC)But then again, this is Zuka and really, I think my taste is warped a lot when watching their stuff considering this was the "worst" I could find as pretty much everything else I actually liked. XDXD While I'm sure to the normal eye, it'd be considered pretty hideous. 'Cause I've watched shows with friends and had them go "Oh god! That outfit!" and I'm like "...what's wrong with it?"
