Score!

I love Takarazuka-an.  There's no gurantee that what you want will be there (especially if you wait until the next time to come back and get it), but you can find some really cool stuff.  Today I walked away with Tani's Personal Book 1 and Saeko's Kishin book. 

There's a picture of Tani dressed up as Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin, which once again makes me wish I had a scanner (or that I could get anything that plugs into my USB port to work >_<).  I think I'm starting to agree with princesslucia's opinion on the TakaWiki shopping guide that the photography in the first series is the best.  I still have love for the second series, though, as it has brought me such joyful things as Kiriyan with Finch in a tuxedo.  And Kiriyan and Tani as gangsters (or at least I think that's what they were.  They had guns).  Really, you can't go wrong with photobooks.  But why exactly is it that Yuuhi's Personal Book II is out of print?  Did they only make a certain number of copies or something?  I guess there will be more trips to Takarazuka-an in my future.  I am, of course, deeply curious as to who from tsukigumi will end up with a book in the third series.

Did Rika ever get some kind of a photobook or sayonara book?

I'm fairly sure she had a memorial book when she retired. For some reason I keep seeing an image of her almost kissing a statue in my head.

Yep, that's the cover and a couple of photos from the inside. :) Actually, someone posted a bunch of photos from it in the mailing list archives.

Rika had a couple. One called "J/S = R" which is a lot of fun (this icon is from it), and she choose a lot of the photos she wanted taken. That came out in '98. And she had a Memorial Book, of course. I'm not sure about other photobooks, though they're probably out there. Oh, and a photoDVD just came out a couple of months ago from her agency. Photos taken in... Malaysia, I think it was? Somewhere like that.

'98, huh? Sounds like it could be hard to find, but I'll keep an eye out for it at Takarazuka-an. Or maybe Yahoo auctions.

Tani dressed up as Rurouni Kenshin?! Oh that is too precious! XD
