Takarazuka Anonymous Research 2006: Tsukigumi

[matataku_hoshi]

I've translated the article "Takarazuka Anonymous Research 2006."  Unfortunately the way it's formatted makes it difficult to post to Live Journal.  For the moment I've uploaded it to sendspace, so you can download it as a Word document there.  caithion has kindly agreed to let me put it up on her server, but I want to wait a couple of days to fix any mistakes (right now I really just want to get the darn thing posted).

The link is here. 

But, despite the fact that you need to do the extra work of downloading a document file, you should totally read it because it took me forever to translate it and figure out the formatting!  There's Yuuhi, Kiriyan, Micchan, and Morie acting silly!  Morie has really nice muscles!  Yuuhi can't remember whether or not she ate popcorn in Guys and Dolls!  Kiriyan likes humming songs from Nightmare Before Christmas!  Micchan likes taking her own picture!  And you should comment afterwards to entertain me during the times when I steal the internet at work tomorrow.  It'll give me a reason to live through my ichinensei classes.

Oh, and here's the preview blurb: "Four Moon Troupe otokoyaku are assigned to research a fellow Moon Troupe otokoyaku anonymously.  Each otokoyaku is asked questions by their anonymous researcher, and from the questions asked must guess the identity of their researcher."

Thank you so much for translating this! The combination of these four is just pure love. this reminds me how there are only 2 of them left in tsuki by now...

Morie's reaction to the first question is utterly adorable. And to think of her dozing off at random places is cute, too. Aw.

Yuuhi with her cat... <3 !

Oh, me too. What’s even more depressing is reading my copy of The Takarazuka II: Tsukigumi and seeing how many people have since transferred or retired. I guess that’s the ephemeral nature of Takarazuka, though.
