I totally forgot to mention I went to see Takarazuka Hana no Odori/Officer and a Gentleman again, and it does look like background characters really do enjoy their improvising too much.

Things of note:
- Teru and That Stick. It was being run all over Chie's body. A lot. Maybe sexual harrassment is the reason Teru is being nudged sideways ;)
- Toyoko does not seem to grasp the concept of personal space. Especially with Zack.
- Makaze's soldier was very touchy-feely with Tomomin's after Della Serra was beaten up.
- Junna's Cowboy was trying her best to make Makaze crack up, and was succeeding, by showing her how to pose like a model, while Zack and Paula were having angst elsewhere.

And Tomomin. Oh, Tomomin. If Kacha didn't own me completely, I'd be after you like a shot. When inspection was coming up, first time around she was very helpful and organising her comrades' lockers. This time, a desperate recruit handed her a rumpled shirt, seeking help. She looked thoughtfully at it, then laughed and threw it over her shoulder onto the floor in a heap and went to stand to attention.

And at the party scene, again Della Serra was trying to hit on all the ladies present. This time, he got some interest and broke out the Funky Moves. Tomomin was doing the fricking mashed potato. And seguing into Saturday Night Fever. And didn't notice until 20 seconds later that Makaze had actually swept her dance partner away. I was giggling madly.

I can really see why people would see shows multiple times, if they're inprovising like this all the time :)

Summary:
Takarazuka Hana no Odori Emaki is a performance of traditional Japanese Dances on the change of the seasons, adopting elements from Kabuki

An Officer and a Gentleman is based on the film of the same name, but has been improved in dramatic ways :)

So, shortly after Tomomin got her lead, I wrote her a squee-filled letter, which might have babbled extensively about how much I adored her in Legend, and how excited I was that she had a lead in a Bow show.

Picked up my mail when I got in today and saw one was for me, but it took nearly 30 seconds before my brain processed that a) it was from Japan, b) it said "Yumeno Seika" on the outside and c) it was FROM JAPAN :D

Out tumbled request sheets for tickets for Ochakai (24/10 - the night I arrive! Woe!), Officer and Gentleman, club membership forms and something else of which I cannot make head nor tail (translating project for my long weekend, methinks!). AND AND AND!! A reijou, which was awesome enough! Until it was followed by glittery Tomomin stickers and a photo of her in Rock Star pose from Skyscraper :D I SQUEE! Best end of week for a LONG time :D
