Interview with Kiriya Hiromu on the closing night of Moon Troupe performance in Takarazuka Grand Theatre

March, 5th, (Monday), was the closing day of the musical 'Edward VIII' -the love that cost him the crown- and brilliant stage 'Misty Station' -the terminal station in fog-.

After the performance ended, an interview concerning retirement was held

Kiriya Hiromu

'Just now, I was honoured to graduate from the Takarazuka Grand Theatre with a feeling of happiness. For me, the Takarazuka Grand Theatre is a 'home ground', and I am full of gratitude to all, for being able to come to finish so lively. I want to head the Tokyo performance polishing my skills even more, so that together with everyone we will creatre a good performance'

Q. Your feelings when you were waiting for today to come?

A. I was wondering, what I would feel heading towards this day, but I felt perfectly self-possessed and happy. The musical, farewell show, greeting, all of these I did with the same mental strain as usual, and I am releived that something is already finished. I felt that I was performing in the closing night show

Q. Reason why you chose hakama and haori for the greeting?

A. I am a male-role player, and a student of Takarazuka at the same time, therefore I decided long ago that I would like to give my greeting being able to wear a hakama for the last time

Q. How was the penlight in the audience during the farewell performance?

A. The audience was beautiful like a sea of stars. It was a moment of happiness, that I was bestowed with a chance to sing in such a space

Q. The moment you thought it was the last moment of standing in Takarazuka Grand Theatre?

A. I was not thinking that it was the last performance while playing, but when it ended and I was receiving applause on the curtain call, I was observing the audience of the theatre and I keenly felt  like 'so, I will never stand here again...'
