Takarasienne (タカラジェンヌ): Pronounced "Tah-kah-ra-jhen", where the "jh" sound is similar to the French "J" in "Jaｃques", "Jacqueline", etc.

This is a French term similar to the word "parisienne." Takarazuka actresses are often referred to as "Takarasiennes." The Takarazuka seems to have a strong admiration for the French culture and language, and they adopted this term to evoke a sophisicated-French-girl image.

Sometimes shortened by fans to 'sienne or jenne.
