Cosmos Troupe TOP Makaze Suzuho graduates, she smiles and says “I’ve been fully concentrated in Takarazuka, I will start to take things slowly from tomorrow”.
(Source taken from NIkkan Sports, where you can find the original article here)
Takarazuka Revue Cosmos Troupe TOP Makaze Suzuho embraced the closing day performance (Senshuuraku) of “Casino Royale~My Name is Bond~” in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre on the 11th, graduating from the Takarazuka Revue after being here for 17 years.
For her last time walking down the grand staircase, she chose to wear the black tails that carries an otokoyaku significance. She spoke in her speech, “The 8th Cosmos Troupe Top Star Makaze Suzuho finishes her mission today. Thank you so much for these 17 years!” In the same performance, her partner Jun Hana and others also graduated.
She attends the press conference after finishing the performance, she said, “Since I have been fully concentrated in living the fullest in Takarazuka, I will start to take things slowly tomorrow, and think one at a time and what I would be doing.”
She spoke of the reason she chose the black tails, “I was frustrated to think about that in the Takarazuka Grand Theare, but I thought since I’ve worn the hakama at that time, so I thought about wearing the black tails and walk down the staircase in Tokyo. This time it felt different from last time when I was wearing the hakama.”
As for Takarazuka Revue, she recalled that “it was a presence like a treasure, where I devoted my everything”. “No matter which performance it was, I have many memories of the scenery, the circumstances and the expressions from the audience. Any moment in time were all unforgettable memories.
Makaze entered the revue in 2006 and bestowed with a brilliant height of 175cm, she caught the audience’s attention during her lowerclassman days in Star Troupe. She transferred to Cosmos Troupe in May 2015, and became the TOP in November 2017. Speaking of “ultimate otokoyaku”, she has continued to pursue for this profoundly in her career.
After the Sayonara show and the graduation speech, she attends the press conference.

230519 花組東京建物 BRILLIA HALL公演 二人だけの戦場 千秋楽
[Yuzuka Rei’s Senshuuraku Speech 千秋楽ご挨拶]
Everyone, thank you for coming to the Tokyo Totemono Brillia Hall Flower Troupe “A Battlefield for the Two of Us” Senshuuraku Performance. I am Yuzuka Rei of Flower Troupe.
We received so much support in these days and more than anything the applause every day gave us so much strength till today. Thank you so much again.
During this performance, I thought again how many lessons I’ve learnt, from the stage to the audience, sharing this time and space with the audience, it’s like acquiring new affirmations and I was able to experience every moment while acting and encountered many amazing moments, and for that I’m immensely grateful so thank you for your warm support.
Tomorrow onwards, we will be meeting new performances and new roles, and while we each complete our tasks and commit to our responsibilities, we will do our best in our stage. From the things we’ve learnt and felt in this performance, we will utilise all of it to our next performance, so please support us greatly. Thank you very much!
There were 3 other curtain calls but I will also omit here.
The second curtain call was Rei talking about the significance of this performance and how we look at war and peace in the current times.
The third one is a flex of dry jokes in the curtain calls so I will include it here.
(*Read first about the origin of dry jokes in the curtain calls “A Battlefield For the Two of Us” here!)
Firstly I’m so Ure-sinclair (*嬉しい + シンクレア = Happy) that all of us could safely embrace Senshuuraku together. Thank you so much!
This was a short performance period, so every day became fulfilling, it’s so Ito-sinclair (愛しい + シンクレア = *Loveable). Knowing that it’s going to end today, it’s very Sami-sinclair (寂しい + シンクレア = *Lonely/difficult to bid goodbye). Because you know how warm and Oka-sinclair (可笑しい + シンクレア = *funny) this space was! Sorry for saying this but for the things we’ve learnt in this performance, we will take them with us and move forward.
Also this was a performance that I said the most dry jokes ever. Maybe from tomorrow on, as a goal I’ll still try to speak more dry jokes, and not be in lack of Strozek-ism. (Strozek is the role played by Takashou Mizuki, replacing 『絶句』されないように, which means “I try to not be in a loss of words for [the dry jokes]” and be careful to keep these [dry jokes] going on.
Everyone’s so kind! That you all laugh to these many dry jokes…this is quite rare because I won’t be like this normally, but yes thanks for being so kind.
When you came today, the weather’s probably raining Hauzers and Hauzers (ザザハウザ, with Hauzer being the role played by Rinjou Kira) As you know I learnt this all from Hauzer-san, so thank you all for appreciating these jokes…
Please forgive me for these dry jokes today. So I’ll sincerely await for the time I’ll meet with everyone again. Thank you very much!
The fourth one is a Flower Troupe pose led by Ayaki Hikari! (+ a request by Rei to Kaito Asahi on a pose Rei will NEVER do.)

Soragumi Top Announcement
As I am a RATHER big fan of Serika Toa, here are a few fun stats to celebrate the extremely long-awaited announcement of her and (surprise!) Haruno Sakura's impending Soragumi takeover!
When Kiki becomes top star on June 12, she will have been a nibante (as wholly official a nibante as nibantes get) for 103 months. For reference, Tamaki Ryou became top star of Tsukigumi 100 months after her debut.
Kiki will be ken-17 at the start of her top stardom. Sou Kazuho was also ken-17, and Hokushou Kairi and Oozora Yuuhi were both ken-18.
Haruno Sakura has one total lead of any kind, shinko or small theater (it was the Never Say Goodbye shinko). The last musumeyaku to become top with only one total lead was Dan Rei (top debut in 1999 with one last minute shinko lead in 1998). Before that, we have to go back to the early 80s. Sugata Haruka (became top in '82), Wakaba Hiromi ('81), Kuroki Hitomi ('81), and Azuma Chiaki ('80) all did it with one lead. Kanna Miho ('85) and Haruka Kurara ('77) did it with none.
Her first named role in the Grand Theater was in High & Low; James Bond will be her second. It's difficult to confirm full cast lists from the 80s, but since the 90s at least, Dan Rei ties her for fewest. We love an underdog!
I have absolutely no way of proving that she is the first musumeyaku to be announced as the next top without first having a proper, performance-themed, on the Grand Theater wall head shot, but if someone is bored enough to dive deep into the internet archives, please let me know!

Umino Mitsuki moi-même
From Feburary Graph 2023
Umino Mitsuki
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
In a time like this, what would she do? Various questions with two possible answers, let’s have a look at this lovely musumeyaku!
Questions
You have until tomorrow to create a hair arrangement!! But you’re exhausted today. What do you do?
Stay up all night and do it.
Sleep for now, wake up early and do it.
Stay up all night and do it (laughs) ! Especially during rehearsals, I’ll do it once, then again to fix it up... That’s my routine, so if I don’t get a start on it early, I’ll start fretting over it. There’s also a lot of times where I’ll work through the night, only for the sun to start to rise, but if I have 3 hours I’ll still sleep (laughs).
2. What will you wear tomorrow?
Decide the day before
Wake up early and decide based on how you feel
When I have a photo shoot or something I’ll decide early, but during mornings with nothing going on, I’ll start by deciding on my hair. I’m mostly in rehearsals, so my highest priority is deciding what hairstyle I’ll have during rehearsals that day. However, when I’m getting into my role, my hairstyle will have the same type of vibe everyday, so to match my hair and earrings, I also change what I’m wearing. Depending on what role I have, my clothing taste will inevitably be decided by that.
3. Morning routine?
Get going immediately
Relax for now
When I wake up I immediately brew coffee, does that count as getting going immediately? (laughs) But drinking it is my time to lay back, so I guess it’s more relaxing. My cat will also wake me up sometimes, so recently I wake up super early. Even if rehearsals are at 1 o’clock, I’ll wake up at 7 or 8. Because I hate rushing (laughs), I make plenty of time to get ready to leave.
4. Breakfast?
Japanese food
Western food
I boil vegetables without seasoning in advance, then that day depending on my mood I’ll add it to miso or consomme, so would that be Japanese food or Western food? Ah, but, in order to avoid iron deficiency, lately I’ve been eating meat for breakfast. I eat roast beef made from grass fed beef (cows raised on only grass) garnished with baby leaves so maybe more so Western food. I eat rice but also don’t. I make onigiri and bring it to the theater to eat before rehearsals.
5. Leaving for rehearsals!
I bring just what I need !
Paranoid... so I over pack...
My day-to-day luggage is the minimum, but in case something happens I have a bunch of spare leotards and skirts in my theater locker. So I have ultra-large luggage on the first day of rehearsals (laughs).
6. Tomorrow you have the day off for the first time in a while!
Ya-y! I’m gonna stay up late!
I want to do some things from the morning so I’ll go to sleep early
I do both of these~! I like movies, so if there’s stuff I want to watch I’ll stay up until 1 or 2 A.M., but despite that I’ll still wake up early, so I guess B. Especially on days off I don’t really sleep and wake up early and get done all the housework I can do!
7. You’re going to spend the whole-day at home!
Don’t leave the house all day
Go outside for a bit for fresh air
I won’t leave (laughs). During stay at home I did a lot of de-cluttering and rearranging and my ventilation got better, so spending time at home is a lot more pleasant. There’s a chair and table on my veranda, so if I want fresh air I’ll relax there. During days where I’m at home all day I will watch movies and YouTube and do my meal prep.
8. You’re going out today. What will you do?
Stick to a plan
Go as heart your heart desires
Before I leave my house, I make a precise plan. Even if I can’t find clothes I want to buy in my allotted time, it’s a waste of time to just continue wandering looking for it, I’ll just go buy something online and move onto my next plan (laughs). If there’s something I’ve decided I want beforehand, I’ll call ahead to see if they have it in-stock then head out. During times when I have nothing but 1 day off, some level of effort is important (laughs).
9. If you’re going out...
Hands down, go alone
Invite someone out
Alone (immediate response). I think it would be impossible to date me, maybe (laughs). If I do go out shopping with someone, it’s about Costco level (laughs). If we go out for tea or food, you don’t decide on a time to leave and stay for hours, but that’s hard to do right now...
10. You found a piece of clothing you like♡
Bought it!
Look at other stores and carefully decide
There’s of course times where I took my time to decide, but other than that, there’s a lot of times where I think, “I want this!” then buy it. There’s times where it got to the point I wouldn’t even look at the price and buy it (laughs).
11. If you start to get hungry?
Go into a restaurant alone
Go home
I bear the hunger, and eat once I get home. Because if I didn’t I’d mess up my schedule and I hate that (laughs). It’s different when I include lunch time in my schedule from the start, but if that’s not the case, I feel like it’s time wasted ordering and then waiting for the food.
12. Today is all you can eat! What do you take on?
Yakiniku
Sweets
I think if this was a while ago I would answer sweets, but lately I’ve been all about eating healthy foods. I’ve always loved meat, and it really hasn’t been the best situation to go out to eat in, so if I were able to do all you can eat, hands down yakiniku. If I say I’m gonna eat, then I can eat quite a bit. I also love rice, so after eating a bunch of meat, I’d want to top it off with some rice.
