Farewell address
On the closing night of Moon Troupe Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre performance 'Edward VIII' and 'Misty station' after the farewell show of Kiriya Hiromu 8 retiring actresses made their farewell address.
The address of Kiriya Hiromu
I have been honoured with support of many people until this day, just as now, on the closing night. Admiring the gallant and radiant retreating figures of those who retire, I was trying to imagine a thing I could not imagine - what it would be like, when I stand here. My present state of mind is loneliness because I won't stand with all the Moon Troupe in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre once again, and I won't wear the uniform hakama of Takarazuka once again, but we have finished this month of 'Edward VIII' and 'Misty Station' with two Senior Members and all the Moon Troupe being full of energy, and I am pleased and happy that I was honoured to perform my farewell show which is like a treasure box, and now I feel like I could jump. Not jumping yet (laughs). Meeting with Takarazuka Revue during my life, and having been able to live to my fullest as Takarazuka Revue's Kiriya Hiromu - even if the clock were turned back, I would choose the same path (a burst of applause in the audience). From tomorrow on, I will depart on a journey to an adventurous stage to search for a new dream. I hope the feelings from the bottom of my heart will reach all of the people who came to the audience, and a lot of people outside the Theatre who kindly watched over me. Thank you for these 18 years.

The address of Aono Yuki
I believe in destiny. It is because, when I met with Takarazuka, I was
well acquainted neither with singing, nor with dancing, nor with acting,
I only wanted to enter here, so I was determined to take the entrance
exams. This challenge that I faced suddenly had serious hurdles, and I
finally passed only on the fourth time. After many years here passed by, I
looked into what I wrote in the primary school on the topic 'My dream of
the future' - it is 'I want to perform on stage'. It was a dream that had no reasons, and a dream that I have completely forgotten about. Still, now I
am standing here, on the stage. This is why I believe that the meeting
with Takarazuka is my destiny. I love Takarazuka. I love being female
role player. With these feelings today, I feel with all my heart that I
was able to come on this day thanks to all the people who kindly watched over me. Saying simply 'thank you' is not enough. Aono Yuki will depart to the new destiny - gallantly, straight ahead, and manly (a burst of applause in the
audience). Thank you for there 8 years.
