Recently, I flipped to the Tokyo Takarazuka Opera Company in the video, and the scene where all the members got off the stage neatly was shocked to see it.
But don't think that these male brothers in suits and shoes and look like gentlemen are men, but they are actually opera "male servants" dressed as women! And there are many rich families with good families.
The well-known actresses in Japan, such as Yuki Tenkai, Hitomi Kuroki, Masayoshi Daichi, and Hitomi Hoshiran, were all formerly the masters of the Tokyo Takarazuka Troupe!

Today, let's open the "Maiden Shura Field" Takarazuka Opera Troupe, and the whole process is highly burned.
As a national treasure, the Takarazuka Opera Company was originally born in a converted pool in Kansai, Japan.
Yu 17th place 12-17-17-17-17-Kakuki Shojo Logistics Pond Stage Top Front Performance Kabuki "Momotaro (DonBraco)".
At that time, the audience felt very fresh about this new girl dancing mode and paid for the performance.
Therefore, the dreamy and gorgeous Era of Takarazuka Song and Dance Drama began, and also laid the foundation for the all-female lineup of the Takarazuka Troupe in the later period.
Here you can see romantic love stories, feel the gorgeous and grand song and dance scenes, and the gorgeous index is comparable to the American Broadway of the drunken gold fans.
Among them, "The Rose of Versailles", adapted from a girl's comic, has been highly sought after since its performance, and has been performed more than 2,000 times worldwide.
Yes, that comic image on kiss me eyeliner.
The official CP of Haruka Tenno and Man Aquaman, written by the author of "Sailor Moon", is based on the performance image of The Takarazuka Opera Troupe.
Now the performance is even more difficult to find, and it has become a cash cow industry under the Hankyu Group.

The Takarazuka Opera Company has become a national treasure of Japan because of its magnificent stage and superb singing and dancing actresses.
Under normal circumstances, there are only 40 fixed enrollment places per year, and the acceptance rate is 5%. It is so low that it can be compared with the University of Tokyo, the highest academic institution in Japan.
Each qualified student must learn ballet, vocal music, modern dance, Japanese dance, musical instruments, ballroom dance, music theory, performance and other courses.
In the group, taller and lower-voiced girls will be assigned as "male servant" male protagonists, and petite female protagonists will become "female servants", and strict differences will be made in daily hairstyles and costumes.

Except for the stage costumes, all other expenses are borne by the actors themselves. Essential cosmetics, wigs, jewelry, etc. daily expenses are huge, and families without points of foundation really can't afford it.
In particular, the female students of the top bridesmaids are not lacking in fame, and the light public knows that there are Hai Nai Mizuki and Huang Hua.
The personable male servant and the beautiful and elegant female servant have always been the CP combination that the audience loves to stumble, and just looking at the GIF feels so sweet.
In private classes, young girls will practice cooperatively in different styles of men and women, and dancing and dancing in high heels and boots is commonplace throughout the day.
Long-term militarized management, cultivated form and temperament, so that the Takarazuka girls are very popular with the nobility.
As a result, in Japanese society with serious patriarchal power, there were many wealthy families who sent their daughters to Takarazuka for training in the early days, just so that they could successfully marry into famous families after graduation.
Like the former Japanese Prime Minister's wife, Yuki Hatoyama, she was once the head of Takarazuka's female servant.
Hitomi Kuroki, who is 61 years old, was once the chief of the Takarazuka Moon Group, and her husband is a senior executive of Dentsu Corporation, who is a prominent company.
The actress Lan Hitomi, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, married to the fifth-generation prince of Toyota, was also an actress of the Takarazuka Theater Company in Japan.
She relied on her innocent appearance during the event and was also known as the Takarazuka Troupe "Audrey Hepburn".

Moreover, some netizens found that the background of the princess is not ordinary, the original name is Masayuki Yoshihara, and it is suspected that she is a family member of the founder of "IzumiTsu Eizo".
Kaneko, who was praised by netizens as "the most beautiful princess of the Japanese imperial family", has been a classmate since kindergarten, and it is no wonder that some people say that girls who can attend Takarazuka School are either rich or expensive.
Therefore, Takarazuka Music School has always been known as the "bridal school" of the rich.
But this is actually some of the prejudices of Takarazuka Academy in the later period, which is not the same as the educational concept of "purity, integrity and beauty" left by the founder, Mr. Kobayashi.

If you ask fans what is the most attractive thing about Takarazuka Opera Company?
Ninety percent of the audience who have seen the performance will answer: "Takarazuka male servant."
As the only female troupe in the world, the role of women in male roles (male servants) is also one of the family's enduring charms and characteristics.

The male servants who come out are very capable of fighting in terms of appearance and strength, and there is a feeling of charm and desire.

Solid acting skills also laid a good foundation for her to break into the Japanese film and television industry in the later stage.
The Light Source Clan during the male service period really lined her tall figure and sword eyebrows.
"The Snow of Washito" is influenced by traditional Japanese drama, and the male temperament is more calm and cool, and the sense of nobility is full.

Once in an interview, a member of the group mentioned that every day in the commute, sitting in the café, they will seize every time and opportunity to study men's movements and demeanor, and figure out how to be more handsome.
Picking eyebrows and smiling badly, supporting the female companions with fragrant waists, these handsome and free gentlemanly demeanor comes at hand.
The handsome big ladder dance steps, the members of the group cooperate with tacit understanding, and even the rhythm and arc of rotation are consistent, just like a high-standard singing and dancing boy band.
Handsome appearance, tall figure is even more dashing than men, temperament is cleaner.
Even with the saying of "one battle in ten years", it is even more difficult to become a male and female protagonist.
Being able to work hard to this point is usually not too young to miss the marriageable age in Japan, but there are still many girls who work hard for it, just to realize their dreams to prove themselves, and they will not hesitate to give up the marriage of the rich.
Tianhai Youxi quit the group at the peak of the group, in the face of a large number of fans to retain, she said in a smart and rational manner: "Time is precious, if there is time to wait for me, it is better to take it out to plan your own life." ”
When cue to the age of marriage, but also frankly said that there is nothing wrong with their choices, life is only once, why not live for themselves?
After Tomorrow Helio quit the group in 19 years, he began a new chapter in acting.
Returning to the "daughter body", she has attracted countless fans with her funny and humorous variety shows, and is still active on the big screen.
Many people still stay in the stereotype of Japanese girls who are gentle and virtuous, cute, and even have a passage saying that if you marry a wife, you will find a Japanese wife, because you are obedient and obedient to your husband's surname.
But now that Japanese women's sense of independence seems to be awakening, bad intimacy is no longer the shackles they have to accept, and they are not willing to just be little wives who surround their husbands every day.
Just like the life path that the Takarazuka girls are taking now, they no longer have only the choice to be tied to their brothers, and they are tearing off the label of "rich bride" step by step.
