The heroine? Clarice Dettigue is played by former Yuki Troupe daughter No. 1 Maya Kiho. Since Clarice appears, is it like "The Castle of Cagliostro" from "Lupin III"? ? That's a monumental achievement for an anime movie. And the Countess of Cagliostro, which is also the subtitle, is played by a double cast of former Star Troupe top star Yuzuki Reon and former Cosmos Troupe top star Makaze Suzuho!!

But Ikeko (Mr. Koike) really likes Furukawa. She seems to work hard to create a work for him, who she is so into lol. However, Ikeko's originals have a decent failure rate, which is a bit worrying lol. After all, he is just an embellishment and director. Even in Takarazuka, Yuzuki's starring work "Napoleon: The Man Who Never Sleeps - At the Ends of Love and Glory" and Makaze's retirement work "Casino Royale - My Name is Bond" were both expected, but they were mediocre works. While there are some excellent Takarazuka originals, there are also a few disappointments, and in fact there are more mediocre works than good ones.

But Maya Kiho is amazing!! Following "Jekyll & Hyde" and "Phantom", she is playing a leading role in a large-scale musical(?). As a former member of the first daughter group, she is on par with Aiki Reika. She definitely shines among the many who are not very impressive. People with singing skills are strong after all. In recent years, there have been almost no first daughter group members who can sing. It will be interesting to see how she handles Dove Attia's song, which is actually her first attempt. Frankly speaking, she doesn't seem like a cool girl's type, but I guess "good singing is justice".

And then there's Yuzuki and Makaze. This is Chie (Yuzuki)'s first time at the Imperial Theater!? It took a long time.

And then there's Makaze. It was announced that she would be making a guest appearance at Chie's dinner show, but I was honestly surprised that she's returning to the stage. Is it a sudden debut at the Imperial Theater? I've written that I can't imagine her playing a female role, but this role is one that confronts Lupin, and it's a character with a strong presence, so I think she'll be able to make the most of her large size. But what about co-casting with Chie, who was a top star when she was a junior member of the Star Troupe and is seven years older than her... Speaking of which, Chie was also a top star when she was a second-in-command in "Billy Elliot," and co-cast with Aran Kei, who is eight years older than her. They will also be co-starring in next year's "COME FROM AWAY." It seems like a long lineage of top stars of the Star Troupe. Maya became a member of the Star Troupe in Chie's retirement productions "Like a Black Panther" and "Dear DIAMOND!!," and has only co-starred with Chie and Maka in these two productions. By the way, Maya joined the Snow Troupe from the retirement performance of the duo Sagiri Seina and Sakihi Miyu.

For Makaze, it's a production written and directed by Ikeko, who she is familiar with, and where she can be a large woman, so it seems like a safe restart. Ikeko was in charge of Makaze's debut and retirement performance. He is the director who watched over Makaze Suzuho's "From the cradle to the grave" (←what a way to say it lol) at Takarazuka. I'm sure he will write a role that even Makaze can do and direct it.

It will be interesting to see if Makaze will join an agency or start a social networking site lol. But can Chie and Makaze sing Dove Atia's songs well? ? They're not good at singing at all. Or will these two not sing much and prioritize action and the final boss? ? As for Makaze, I wonder if he will use his macarhythm even with a female voice, and if his unique way of speaking like "What is ●●" and "What is ●●" will remain the same lol. I really can't imagine how he will appear. Makaze seems to be quite feminine inside, but I can't even imagine him appearing on stage using normal female language lol. Just imagining him saying things like "It's ●●" in the same way he did in his Takarazuka days makes me laugh. He wouldn't break his knees or anything, would he?

But I was quietly surprised to hear that Masami is working in show business.
