Takarazuka special performance.

The internationally renowned Castlevania series, a series of gothic horror action games by Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd., features a unique worldview, beautiful visuals, and classical, majestic background music. The story of Count Dracula, revived after a century of slumber, and his endless battle with heroes, centered around the Belmont family lineage of vampire hunters, remains the core of the games and has been expanded into an anime series broadcast worldwide. Since the release of the first game in 1986, it has continued to attract fans around the world. This timeless masterpiece, which shines brightly in the history of games, is being adapted into a musical for the first time by Flower Troupe, centered around Sea Towaki. With an original story and the unique direction of the Takarazuka Revue, a new chapter of the Castlevania series unfolds before your eyes.

The story centers on Azazel, an angel who is the biggest liar in Heaven. His insatiable curiosity about humans, who are full of lies, leads him to touch the heavenly book that records all the deeds of humans on Earth. This act incurs the wrath of God. Azazel is stripped of his angelic title and all his powers, and then he is cast down to the human world.

Captivating the hearts of countless maidens is the sexy playboy, Don Juan. One night while enjoying the company of a woman as usual, Don Juan angers the Grand Master, the woman's father, which leads to a duel. Don Juan emerges victorious but the Grand Master's dying words are: "Someday love will punish you..." Before long, those ominous words manifest themselves as a curse and an apparition haunts Don Juan.

As the German occupying forces decided to withdraw from France, Hitler issued an order to level the capital. How did the Parisians, who had been resisting the Nazi German invaders, protect their city in this trying time? Taking a dancer who swore to keep the flame of the French revue alive as its main character, this musical is a dramatic description of the events that led to the liberation of Paris. Join us to witness the birth of a grand musical revue in the quintessential and inimitable style of Takarazuka.

A revival of a popular revue — this Flower Troupe performance garnered very favorable reviews in 2009 and 2010, and also ran as a national tour in 2017.
