I'm sure some of you have read it, I'm also sure some haven't, and some most likely have seen the film.

Erica's review of the 1994 Takarazuka documentary Dream Girls

"Secondly, it's important to remember that Takarazuka was NOT designed to create strong, independent women - its was created to create "good wives, wise mothers." These women are not graduating to positions of financial and personal independence; they are expected to marry and subordinate themselves fully to their husbands-"


I'm quite happy times are a bit different now. *pets movie-star Saeko*

I think I've seen this person's blog before. For someone who writes about Takarazuka, she doesn't seem to like it much...

It also seems from some of the things she says that she doesn't really know much about Takarazuka... of course, Dreamgirls itself is full of misconceptions. Though it did get some of the performers to talk about things they wouldn't have otherwise. Like having a boyfriend. ;)
