“Tsukasa… I have to ask you… Why me…? I haven’t got status, or money, or beauty. There are lots of girls at Eitoku who have all three. I just can’t figure out… Why it’s me. The only explanation that I can think of is that you’re crazy.”
“Maybe you’re right. I wonder the same thing myself… But love can’t be figured out. I’ve got the status, money and beauty… So you can stay as you are.”

Flower Troupe Survey! The Best of Yuzuka Rei (PART 3)
The Troupe Survey is a current segment in the TakarazukaGRAPH magazine in which each month a different troupe is given a survey on their Top Star and a selection of their answers are printed in the magazine.
There are 4 parts to this article:
1. The things about (Top Star) that have made a big impression on us
2. Stage: Shows or scenes which have stayed in our hearts
3. We want to see (Top Star) as a…
4. The (Top Star) Awards
(The Top Star gives out special awards to troupe members)
As this article is so long I will be publishing the translation in parts!
You can read part 3 under the cut!
Part 3: We want to see Yuzuka Rei as a…
First Place, 9 votes: A Teacher
Haryu Mitsuki: In rehearsals, I often see her politely teaching Madoka (Hoshikaze Madoka, Top Musumeyaku) and giving advice to the younger actresses in a soft and gentle voice. So I think that if she was a teacher she would pick up on her students' weaknesses and kindly teach them how to overcome them! And maybe during break time, she’d play dodgeball and other games with her students?!
Tsubasa Anju: If Yuzuka was my teacher I would give it my all and study so that she would give me her praise! And I would never sleep during class (laughs).
Yuzuka’s Comment: Being a school teacher must be a very hard job to do, but maybe if I could teach something completely unrelated to the performing arts it would feel like a hobby. For example, how much I enjoyed history classes at school always depended on what period was being taught. Also, I always found it exciting how the structure of each class would change based on the period we were studying. So I think it would be fun if I could teach with some pizazz like they do in high school dramas and films.
Second Place, 8 votes: A Pilot
Hina Ririka: I’d have heart-eyes if I saw her as a handsome pilot!!! She would definitely be the number one most popular of them all!!
Serina Ei: When I saw her on the national tour pulling along her case as she walked, I thought she would definitely look amazing wearing a pilot's uniform and pulling a carry-along suitcase!!
Yuzuka’s comment: It would be cool to have an impressive job like that wouldn’t it? I’ve often thought about how wonderful it would be to speak fluent English and get to go back and forth between loads of different countries like international flight attendants do. I haven’t done anything to qualify for a job like that though! (laughs)
Third Place, 7 votes: A Doctor
Natsuki Manato: Imagine she's your doctor. The moment she would enter the doctor's office time would stop! And then she’d say “Why have you come to see me today?” with a sweet voice and her eyes drawing you in, and your symptoms would just get worse! (laughs) But as it’s Yuzuka, I’m sure she would use her abundant knowledge and accurate judgment to nurse you back to health!!
Nanairo Hazuki: I think if Yuzuka was a doctor she would be able to cure any illness with just her good looks!
Yuzuka’s comment:
If I make your symptoms worse then surely that's a bad thing? (laughs) Doctors are amazing, they look after their patients and make sure that no matter how busy they are they never compromise the care that they give. I’ve had to go to the doctors countless times. I make sure to prioritise my health, but I still end up having to go… I can’t thank them enough for all the times they have helped me.
