two lessons of Japanese where I was bored again and had almost nothing to do, were exactly what I needed to finish the translation, coupled with my lovely and somehow a bit useless pocket translator (which is great because it allows to draw a kanji and it searches it in the database, but it dislikes my handwriting and refuses to recognize even a properly written character sometimes)
still, I managed to translate everything, except the dates of the performance which I feel to be unnecessary

A presentation about Moon Troupe performance 'Romeo and Juliette'
On April 26th, there was held a presentation about the performance 'Romeo and Juliette' by Moon Troupe of Takarazuka Revue, sponsored by Mitsui Sumitomo VISA card.
This performance, which is presented with cooperation of every interested company in the VJA group which marked the beginning of Mitsui Sumitomo card corporation, is a work that was turned into a new musical by lyricist, composer and director Gerard Presgurvic, from one of the most worldwide famous eternal love stories, 'Romeo and Juliette' written by William Shakespeare. It was first performed in France in 2001, and this modernistic spectacle earned high praise. After that, it was performed in almost every corner of the world, becoming an international hit, and can boast a total audience of more than 5 000 000 people.
In Japan, the Takarazuka performance was first held by Star Troupe in Osaka and Hakata, then by Snow Troupe in Grand Theatre, and was a success.
This time, the performance will be the debut of the new Moon Troupe which is formed with the new Top Star, Ryuu Masaki, as its core. Also, a notable thing is that Demi-Top Star, Asumi Rio, will switch roles with the Top Star.
Please welcome the showy and dramatic performance 'Romeo and Juliette' challenged by members overflown with youth.
The presentation started with Ryuu Masaki together with Manaki Reika,
who plays Juliette, and Asumi Rio, who also plays the switch role of
Romeo, presenting songs from the performance. The four songs with deep
feelings - 'itsu ka' by Manaki and Asumi, 'boku wa kowai' by Ryuu,
'aimer' by Ryuu and Manaki, 'sekai no ou' by Ryuu, Manaki and Asumi -
immediately turned the presentation hall into the world of 'Romeo and
Juliette'.
After the songs were presented, a press-conference was held, where opinions on the performance were expressed.

Ryuu
I am incredibly happy to be granted with 'Romeo and Juliette' as our first performance. At the same time, I received a lot of words from mr Koike (the performance director) which are necessary for my growth, so I expect a lot from this performance. I feel blessed as a stage performer, because this time I will be granted with a lot of experiences, as we have a performance with switch roles. I will be doing all I can. For the new Moon Troupe it marks the new start. I want to create an interesting performance together with Manaki and Asumi, and united with all the members of Moon Troupe. Therefore, I humbly ask for your support for Takarazuka Revue and Moon Troupe.

I am full of happiness and delight to have been bestowed with the role of Juliette in 'Romeo and Juliette'. This time there will be two Romeos, but I want to love to the very end the Romeo whom I will meet. Together with ms Ryuu and ms Asumi and with all the cast I want to tackle this performance frankly and straight, so I would like to ask for your support.

Asumi
I have been a fan of the work 'Romeo and Juliette' which was turned into musical and story, and also films, so I feel a strong happiness for that I can play switch roles in a performance connected with it. During the farewell show of ms Kiriya, the Moon Troupe could feel its unity deeply, and this time I would like everyone to move forward feeling fully the colour of ms Ryuu. As I have switch roles, I will work hard reserving my stamina and guts.
