I went to see Casino Royale, which is widely considered a bad movie. I've always felt that my feelings towards it are different from those of the internet, but I've never thought "Is this really a bad movie? The world's standards for bad movies have changed." After watching it, I felt nothing but love. I thought, "I thought Koike-sensei loved fairy-like top actors, but he really loves male roles. He loves the Takarazuka-like quality of just standing there. I can't believe he's packed so much "I want to see this!" in it!!" I thought I was going to suffocate from Koike-sensei's overwhelming love. It's said to be an inside joke, but I didn't feel it as much as an encounter, and it reminded me of the principle that goodbyes are okay for fans. Speaking of goodbyes these days, it's Uekumi. But it's a bit too heavy for a goodbye. I didn't want the attention to be on the story rather than on the person himself.

I prefer to focus on the person himself

and have him leave in a refreshing manner.

Because Takarazuka is good with its top stars.

Well, the story is certainly silly,

but if you think of it as a light Hollywood-style movie, it's well made.

This Hollywood feel suited Makaze and the current Cosmos troupe well.

It was neither too heavy nor too light,

and it was a well-shown production, so I honestly thought it was fun after watching it.

Koike-sensei, how did you manage to make this story so showy?

It's a proper entertainment piece!!

It reminds me a little of Adieu Marseille!

This is fine! Goodbye!!

And at the end of the first act, I couldn't hide my admiration for Koike.

But the power of the "dance with a suit and a gun" that was played out two minutes into the show.

This is Takarazuka. This.

Anyway, how many more eyes do I need?

I've been watching the Star Troupe for a long time,

so I have quite a special attachment to Makaze-san.

Speaking of Makaze-san, I can't forget the scene in Coimbra Monogatari where Yumeno Seika, Kurenai Yuzuru, and Makaze Suzuho all danced side by side,

and their otherworldly style.

And this time, everyone in the Cosmos Troupe looked so cool in their suits.

Everyone, including Susshi-san, looked so cool.

Actually, I've been lucky enough to book another Sky Stage show, so I'm going to have a great time!
