the reason why I chose this performance to watch was... Aono-sama of course. the more I think about her, the more I love her. still I cannot make myself watch any Bow Hall or shinjinkouen if she has another 'partner'. this time, somehow I felt - if 'tis Todoroki-sama, 'tis ok. she is from Senka, and she is not a young actress 'in training'
acting
a strange thing, the more I watch, the more I realize that every actress has her own successful roles and those which do not impress much. therefore, if an actress seems to be a good one but gives an awkward image of a bad one, there is something wrong with the role itself. or so I thought while looking on some siennes in this play
Yumeno-san was the first in this row of siennes who changed their image for me. her character was completely different from what I saw before, and this particular fact made me think I was completely right when I thought she is a capable one, and 'twas me who could not appreciate her 'full capacities'. she was cute and funny, and I loved her
Suzumi-san was... erm... strange... o___O well, to be honest, she was strange before, too. somehow, none of the roles so far seemed to be 'her', or maybe, she never looked natural to me in any of her roles. this does not mean she acted bad, but she simply gave an impression of good acting, not living on stage. I wonder what kind of image would suit her best? this it yet to discover (and also, brown hair....... even black looked more natural on her ^^`)
well, Aono-sama herself was no less strange. while showing clearly that she is such a wonderful actress already, she was completely not herself with that speaking in high voice, uttering overly polite words and pretending to be such a usual affected girl from a typical European love story. ohhhh no I am not against such things, I love this kind of stories in books and movies, and I would love it in Takarazuka version, and I am willing to watch more of them... with another musumeyaku-san playing the main part
buuuuuut when she same out as Miranda... heeeey! that was nice! ^____^ but short T___T
Yuuka Riko-san. erm... well I hope she is a nice girl with a talent... which was not very visible this time, though. she simply overacted, or so I think
and Todoroki-sama herself. her previous appearances always savoured of coldness, and I was kind of persuaded that this cool attitude was a part of her elegant but distant image. I cannot say this image changes a lot this time, but her tragic, sad and deeply hurt character was if not unexpected than at least more thoroughly portrayed than I would expect her to
Miya-san. the only exception in this row. I did not like her at all. though her character could be a greatly portrayed young man, her acting was very weak. very, very, very weak. as if she had never been trained as an actress... >___<

vocals
I thought there would be nothing particular to pay attention to. and suddenly... O____O
the duet of Pedro and Pimenta... O_____O
the duet of Constanza and her mother... O_____O
the song of Antonio and his band... O_____O
ohhhh everything so ideal...
and also
music
itself was a masterpiece. the orchestra theme and the song for the Antonio-band, the aria of Ines when in the convent, the song of the ship crew, and a lot of other pieces impresses me much as they could be performed even separately from the play
plot
weeeell I honestly dislike when there happens any kind of tragedy because of misunderstanding (RomiJuri being the example) so this is not a story I would love to watch for real or rewatch ever
revue part
well, I was not expecting much from it, but it DID surprise me as well. the dances were very beautiful and though I thought they would be plain and a bit boring, they weren't. the part I liked especially was the one performed to an oriental melody and the moment when Aono-sama was raised by several otokoyaku was simply *______*
again, I saw how much she tends to adjust her movements to that of her partner(s), and her eyes also followed everyone she was dancing with. 'twas beautiful, almost impossible... and at the same time, she retained her style, soft and firm, swaying and rigid. the style which cannot be confused with someone else
my dear, dear, dear future Moon Top Musumeyaku.....
to sum it up
a great performance to enjoy, but does not climb even close to my Top list ^^`
