Dreaming for dreaming- day in Takarazuka

I still feel like my heart is on this day.

One of the best day I spent in Japan.

The day in Takarazuka.

I was excited since the morning,

but the moment I entered Hankyu train

I felt with all my being 

that this is really happening.

Takarazuka station welcomed me with this sign.

Then we entered Hana no michi

(Flower road)

which leads to the theater.

Probably I am idealizing it all,

but it really is like a road to your dream world.

Now I have tears in my eyes,

because I do not know 

when I will be able to walk it again.

Lots of statues there

Not yet blooming

Then you reach this posters and sign.

Everybody is taking pictures there.

With my friend who wore loli

to match my ouji outfit

Then we went closer to the theater.

Lots of fans were waiting there

to take pictures of stars.

We saw a few actors entering the theater.

They were wearing cool clothes,

were tall with short hair and sunglasses.

Otokoyaku.

I could finally put my eyes 

on these unusual creatures.

And believe me I was not disappointed.

We waited in a group of fans.

Excitement increased. 

Powder room

Entering a theater was just the beginning

of an adventure.

There was all shopping center inside

with shops connected with Takarazuka

and restaurants.

Takarazuka's songs were heard everywhere.

Our handkerchiefs

and program for

Embraced by seas of Calisto

which we saw.

Finally we entered the theater.

Roses, rose carpet, piano which played by itself

and excitement everywhere.

I was enjoying wearing prince clothes, taking pictures

and getting lots of attention.

Usually I do not care about it so much,

but at this day I felt like wearing kind of cosplay

so it was different.

I liked Takarazuka earlier,

but after seeing it with my own eyes

I am obsessed.

From Flower Road to the performance

I was charmed.

All atmosphere, pathos, colors, stories,

music and light

it is all like a dream.

All this world is unreal,

it does not pretend to be real,

it wants to stay far, far away from having anything

common with reality.

Only emotions and feelings

were truly real.

After the performance we waited outside the theater

for a while.

Fans talking with their fav stars

and their feelings were real.

They adored something that does not exist,

but this simply fact made it more and more worth adoring.

It is not the adoration of a world

in spite of the fact it does not exist,

but just because of it.

All this flamboyant world 

is built from the most delicate 

and ethereal material I have ever seen.

Tezuka Osamu's museum

is the best end of the day spent in Takarazuka.

Princess Knight's origin became all clear and natural.

Dreaming for dreaming.
I would say with a hope that dreams
will never come true.
They are not for coming true.
They are for staying dreams forever.
Too beautiful to be messed with reality by coming true.
Too subtle to stand on the real ground.
