I love Elisabeth! There was a clip of Der Tod and Rudolf's Yami ga Hirogaru (Cosmos 1998 I think? long since pulled from Youtube) that was my gateway song to being seriously interested in finding out more about Takarazuka.
My favourite is Scarlet Pimpernel- I loved the story already, book and 1982 movie both, but the Takarazuka version is amazing- I love different things every time a new troupe does it.
And yesss I love how strong- and how controlled- Zhu Yilong is, how competitive but also impressed Bai Yu is, his departing wail about handsomeness and power and 'how can I live in this world' while happily going off to hang out with Long-ge some more ♥
