I made my notion page for translations public, so look there if you’re interested in what shows I’m translating and their progress. :)

'FORMOSA!!' subs

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

These days have been a lot, so I ended up taking too long to release this.

Notice that the subs were timed to the Sky Stage broadcast, and not the Bluray. With simple retiming you should be able to sync them to your Bluray copy, but let me know if you have any trouble!

This was an unexpected show to me. It could have been crazier considering the visuals, but all of them are SO GOOD in their roles. All my love to them!

Also, Agachin seems to have a Midas touch because all her musumeyaku leads become top musumeyaku. It's so funny! (They were just two, but still!)

'Step by me' subs

Maybe I'm a Kase fan.

Now seriously, this is a show with a weird plot that starts just like any other Takarazuka original. Beware and maybe don't overthink it.

Also we get a song about what DNA stands for, and you'll be very surprised to learn this.

'The Wand'rin' Stars (Koisuru Tendousetsu)' subs

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

And here it is, Ari and Uta's Grand Theater debut! This show is so cute, even if the plot is all over the place, I just had to translate it and share with anyone I could! I do like some of Oono Takuji's work, but this one positively surprised me. The songs too are just so lovely, even if not really memorable. If you need a hug to your heart, this is a good pick!

I'd just like to know what the 22 on the car means... Please, someone figure it out!!!!!!!!

As always, many thanks to those who made these subs happen ♥

It's been so long since the last post that I got logged out of tumblr and almost forgot my password...

I actually finished translating this a long time ago, but only got around to timing the subs recently. Sorry for the wait!

The next update will probably be in another few months (Poe, Elisabeth) unless I have something new added to my list.

The Titanic show! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest in having subs for this, since it's a Bow Hall show and there's no physical release.

The subs are timed to the sky stage recording, and you'll probably need to shift the timing to match your copy. I'm not sure if the subs match the livestream, but if it doesn't, you can open it as a text file (use the .srt in this case since the formatting is cleaner) and follow along.

Enjoy! :)

'Michelangelo' subs

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

I rarely work on more than one version, but for some reason I felt like I should try to do it. Maybe because it was Tamo's taidan show, and the script only really made sense in that context. Plus, how can you not love the three together one last time? Tamo, Midori and Charlie.

So here you go!

The subs were timed for the VHS/DVD day, but using the Sky Stage broadcast, so you'll need a bit of retiming for it to work with your video. Let me know if you need help with that!

Warning for themes of suicide.

'Michelangelo' Shinjin Kouen Version subs

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

This was my actual goal!!! My yearly Ranju Tomu release is among us all!

Miwacchi (Aine Harei) got the nibante role for it, but you get to see Eritan in a very fitting character. Plus, Mattsu gets to sing great songs! But I'll be honest, my favorite shinko role was Yuuma Rin's in the last third (she's got a smaller one before). She's sooo good there! Her chemistry with Tomu is excellent! It made me think of the type of interactions they got when Tomu was top star.

Winner of the last poll!

I've never watched the drama this is based off, so there's a chance I didn't get the context right when translating. If you have watched the drama and noticed anything wrong with the subs, please let me know!

I'll do Raito's lead (the Titanic show) next, even though it didn't win the poll. I'll most likely do the upcoming Poe Clan since I did the original, but I haven't decided if I'll do anything in between then. We'll see!

'Rays of Dawn' (Yoake no Koubou) subs (or 'Great Expectations - the zuka version')

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

I remembered very little of this story, but there's a lot to appreciate in the adaptation. It's a different director but the stage reminded me a little of AkaKuro, not sure if we have a case of same assistant or just inspiration or even just me overthinking it. AkaKuro is still far superior as a Top Star show should be, though. Expect a nice show. The siennes were also well cast, which has been rare lately lol Ari is super cute as Pip, and we have RuriHana and Kanon rocking their parts. Also, pretty outfits! It's the kind of zuka show that could have been more but it could have been worse too.

Timed to the Bluray release.

In the wildest but most welcome way, Takarazuka just announced today the realease in VOD of their Castlevania adaptation on BeyondLive with subtitles in several languages, starting today !! (More specifically, their Symphony of the Night adaptation with a few references to other parts of the game lore) Considering the first and last time Takarazuka put a show on BeyondLive for international audience was 2 years ago for their James Bond show this is like,,,, insane (positive). There's also no way of knowing how recurring that thing will be so please, if you've ever been a fan or just curious about Takarazuka and/or Castlevania, give this a try, it's so damn worth it 🙏 To go straight into purchasing it, it's right here. Here are some details about the show and cast fans compiled on the Takarazuka fandom wiki. And if you want an idea of what the show looks like, here's lead playing Alucard and current Top Star of the Flower Troupe talking about it with english subs ❤️ Happy viewing and Happy Christmas ig ??

It was a closer fight than I expected, but I'll still do Fleeting Stars at a later date if no one else has done it by then. It's Raito's lead after all!

There won't be anymore releases until next year since I'm going to take it slow and enjoy the holidays. Have a happy holidays everyone! I hope you enjoyed the releases this year, and there should be more Yukigumi and Hanagumi subs in 2026 to look forward to!

This was totally unplanned - I wanted subtitles to be able to better understand the musical, so I made them myself! The translation is mostly from the English-licensed manga, with the parts original to the musical translated by myself.

The subs are timed to the Blu-ray. It will not fit the livestream, but you can open it as a text file and read along. Enjoy!

Legend of the Galactic Heroes @ Takarazuka (Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu@TAKARAZUKA) 2012 subs

Download the subs here: wtheckzukasubs.tumblr.com/shows

Timed to the Sky Stage broadcast of the DVD recording day, let me know if you have trouble adjusting the subs!

I'm not a part of the fandom, and it's been a long time since I watched the anime series, but I still decided to follow the translations in the fandom wikis for the series. Thus, you will see different names on the projection they have on stage, and they will probably be due to those differences.

Also I must thank all those who were there to help me whenever I didn't understand something from the lore. Above all, credits to Winwin for proofereading. Any mistakes still there, they're surely my fault.

This is probably our most requested show, so I hope it was worth the wait.
