Yukarino Koyuki

Takarazuka Moon Troupe 2016 adaptation of the French musical La Légende du roi Arthur

Takarazuka Revue Moon Troupe 2014 performance. Arsene Lupin side-story about the youth of Donald Dawson and Count Hereford.

It is 17th-century France, where Louis XIV, the "Sun King," reigns. The Musketeers, who answer to the king, diligently train themselves day in and day out to protect their liege and the state. Each of these highly skilled warriors also has a unique personality: Porthos is courageous and daring, Athos is calm and reassuring, Aramis is a ladies' man like none other in his time, while d'Artagnan is our invincible hero. All, meanwhile, are utterly proud and brave warriors.

The first act is a musical comedy titled "PROM LESSON," which depicts the struggles of young people and their love affair at prom, a dance party held during the graduation season at an American high school. The musical has two different versions with the same premise but switched, one starring Asami Jun and the other starring Akatsuki Chisei, each playing a different character. In Arthur's version, the most "tsundere" flower boy in the school, meets a hapless girl who can't hold her own and gives her lessons to make her the ultimate Prom Queen. The second act is titled Midnight Show "A-EN MOONRISE," an entertainment show starring the stars in a moon-themed revue.
