□ Increasing the annual number of productions from eight to ten
At the moment, a total of eight productions a year are put on by the Takarazuka Revue at its main venues Takarazuka Grand Theatre and Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre. With the formation of the new Sora (Cosmos) troupe, the Revue now has five member troupes (the existing ones being Hana (Flower), Tsuki (Moon), Yuki (Snow) and Hoshi (Star)), meaning that some troupes do only one performance a year. With a 10-show annual schedule, we can offer our customers a broader range of performances, increase the number of performance opportunities for each troupe and help them develop their stage skills, and foster the stars of the future.
□ New seating categories and ticket-pricing At both theatres, we are changing seating categories and raising prices for certain seats. Specifically, the best seats (SS and S class) have been repriced, A- and B-class seats and on-the-door B seats are unchanged, and discounts have been introduced for advance purchases by members of the Takarazuka Revue official fan club, for some performances. In this way we are creating new opportunities to watch the troupe in action at affordable prices.
The graphs just illustrate that the operating revenues and income of the entertainment branch have constantly increased between 2006 and 2008 and are expected to increase until 2013. (Like every good Japanese company, they have a 5-year plan, starting 2008.)
