rose_of_painDay 11 – Favorite Otokoyaku Dance
I think I'm going to go with Scarlet Pimpernel for this one. Because I like how they use the swords into the dance. XD It makes it stand out to me because of this as it makes it a little more interesting than the usual dance. And truth be told most of the other ones kinda all blend together in my mind. lol
Day 12 – Favorite Costume from a Show
This is probably one of the few questions that's easy for me to answer...
Susano's finale outfit. I'm not even sure why but as soon as Komu stepped out in that outfit, I was instantly in love with the outfit. And I want to make it really really badly. lol After Der Tod, it will probably be my next big zuka cosplay. I think its mainly because its got so much detail work on it and you can't really see it all in one shot, you have to watch her as she moves in it. I also seem to have this thing for red zuka costumes. Which is odd considering my favorite color is actually blue.
But I also love A LOT of costumes big time and I love ALL the Der Tod outfits from all the shows as well.
Day 13 – Favorite current Musumeyaku
Every time I'm asked this one, I always WANT to say Shirahana Remi...and then I remember once again that she's now retired and I want to cry. T_T And to be honest I haven't really found a musume that stands out to me as much since. She was just a really strong musume and that's so rare in my opinion. But I am liking Manaki Reika so far even though I haven't seen that much of her so far. But I did like her as Alice in Alice's Lover. I also like Nene but that's more because I like her with Chie a lot.
Day 14 – Favorite Stage Kiss
This whole scene from Passion:
I still think this is the most sensual scene of any Zuka show. At least of what I've seen and it wows me every time. I do feel almost guilty considering I'm a huge WaoHana fan and this is when Hana was still paired with Zunko but daaaaayuum. I haven't seen the ChieNene version yet so can't compare it. And then you have the actual kiss at the end with the fade out. I know most of this scene isn't so much kissing...but I'm going to count it. XD
Otoko/otoko stage kiss goes to the Liquor scene in Cocktail. It may be old but its classic and I still squee every time. XD
Day 15 – Favorite Kageki Picture
Don't have any of these either. XD
Day 16 – Favorite Show
I think this question should be changed to "Favorite Show...that isn't Elisabeth". Because yes, Elisabeth is still my favorite, mainly the Hanagumi version. I've watched it so many times and I still get chills and I never get tired of it. It really is still the best Takarazuka show out there and its gotten so many fans into Zuka so I think it stands as being something special for a majority of us. But I do have a really hard time picking the order of my top 5 shows after Elisabeth. The number two spot constantly changes. XD Right now its a toss up of Romeo et Juliette and Seal of Roses. Though Susano-O is pretty high up there too. And Scarlet Pimpernel. And even Rose of Versailles because yes, I actually like the Berubara shows despite all their cheese. XDXD Its what got me into Zuka in the first place.
