Yes, "Senshuraku" means last show. It's really touching for Yumiko because this was her last performance with Flower Troupe in Takarazuka Grand Theater, she'll be transferred to Snow Troupe in December TT.

I love to chat, too. Always looking forward to your messages here. I'll send you an e-mail then ^^.

never mind, csh! may be next time the same will happen to me ;)

> Yes, I see what you mean. So happy that we have so much in common ^^! I love all the songs in "Phantom." The Phantom Senshuraku version of "You Are My Own" is really touching, you can almost hear Yumiko's (Ayabuki Mao) heart breaking. It makes me want to cry, too. Sniff, sniff.

yes, i agree ... yumiko's singing is touching - it seems as if she will cry the next moment ... btw. is it correct, that senshuraku meens "the last show"?

> Juri's version is also wonderful. It's her farewell show, so Osa was a bit emotional. Love that song!

i think not only a bit, she is nearly crying at the end embracing juri ...

ot: is it o.k. to talk so much here, or shouldn't this be a chat just for informations? i like to talk ... but i want to respect the rules here ;)

Yes, I watch the Phantom digest and Phantom Senshuraku whenever, wherever I could. Hehehe...I love the songs "You Are Music," "Ave Maria," and "You Are My Own." It's enough to make me weep!

By the way, I'm going to Japan next year. If you want to buy something, please let me know.

did you already know the digest of phantom with sumire on youtube? it is about 8 minutes long and i love it very much - the scene osa sings the "ave maria" is so wunderful - hope i can get the dvd next year ...
my favorite version of elisabeth ist flower-troupe too, directly followed by cosmos-troupe - zunko was a very strong death with her powerful voice ...

Sorry I accidentally deleted my previous message.

Answering your question, I've seen three versions of Elisabeth, I love Flower Troupe version the most. I'm afraid I can't decide yet for Phantom, I only have the Cosmos version, I have to wait a few months to watch the Flower Troupe version.
