    • Japanese scripts?

    Posted by Happii on Sun 15 of Jun, 2008 19:02 GMT-0000
    I'd like to know if I can find Japanese scripts of Takarazuka performances online just like movie scripts usually in a .txt file. I did some research but my Japanese isn't very good so I got nothing. I'm not keeping my hopes up but still I thought I'd ask. Oh, and forgive me if this is an annoying newbie question ^^;

    Thanks ;)

    I was thinking maybe I could translate La Rose de Versailles 2001 - Oscar et André but my Japanese isn't very good. It would be much easier in terms of reading the kanji if I could have the script online.

    Welcome to the TakaWiki, Happii! :)

    I don't know about finding them online, but I suspect that that's the sort of thing the Takarazuka Company keeps a sharp eye out for and squashes, so if they are online, they'll be well hidden.

    Most Grand Theater scripts are available for purchase, though. With a few exceptions of Western productions which they probably couldn't get the copyrights to reproduce (like West Side Story and Elisabeth), Grand Theater scripts for shows prior to 1999 were printed in the programs. Post 1999 they're available either in collected script books (which were published from '99 - '02, see the publications page), or in the Le Cinqs.

    Bow Halls are a bit harder to find... mainly only in the script books for '99 - '01.
