Whereupon Kacha is Awesomesauce

[masahi]

This may take some backstory: when Kacha was cast as Elisabeth in the latest Tsukigumi production, there was such a furore (mostly over the fact an otokoyaku was playing Tsuki's Elisabeth again, instead of one of their girls). I felt bad for this underclassman who not only had never had a major singing role, but also had never had a major female role, especially in a different troupe, especially in one of the most popular shows for the company.

So, I started sending encouraging little letters of "YAY! You will be awesomesauce!" and the like :) Usually accompanied by little cartoons and doodles and occasionally, random bits of silly Scottish tat. All the while, a big chunk of me was all paranoid that any of my letters would be stopped at either customs and the theatre and make them go "Pah!" and throw them away. Yes, I am that paranoid.

Still, then epic Takarazuka Elisabeth experience of epicness happened, and I have consistently been writing to her since then for being so lovely, starting the night after we met her. Most of it is squeeing on the good things that are happening for her and lamenting on the bad, and generally turning into a happily fangirly fangirl, something I haven't done for far too long.

So, I wrote to her last month (and only just posted another letter the other day, when her Bow Hall was announced), almost forgot about it, and today, I got in from the shops to an envelope with Japanese stamps on it. Blinked a few times, opened it, then ran around the flat flailing in glee. I have my first ever Takarazuka autograph. Personalised. To me :D To say I'm bouncing off the walls with glee might be an understatement :) (I think she liked the fudge...)
