Takarazuka
Has anyone heard of Takarazuka? (宝塚歌劇)
Links for those who haven't heard of them:
official site / fansite / wikipedia
All female Japanese performance school. Girls join in the teens and perform for two years or so after they graduate. All girls, so girls have to play guy parts too, and they're called otokoyaku. Troupes of Hana, Tsuki, Hoshi, Yuki, Senka, and Sora? I'm not sure exactly. I've only watched a glimpse of a documentary during jap class today. But I thought it was pretty fascinating...though strict. I soo want to see one of their musicals! =/I don't think I can find any of the musicals online can I...?
