 Metropolis - Japan Travel: Takarazuka - Tinseltown
But here, in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, talk of being madly in love with a woman who dresses, sings and dances like a man is considered quite the norm by the cult-like worshipers of the Takarazuka Revue - the world's only theater troupe made up entirely of unmarried women.
Intriguingly, the way most Westerners interpret the Takarazuka Revue, whose leading lights will devote as much as a decade to refining their craft in the role of otokoyaku - learning to sing, dance and act like men - is often the complete opposite of that of many Japanese.
When Takarazuka Revue hit the London stage in 1994, the British capital's notoriously difficult theater critics did not spare one ounce of vitriol in dismissing the troupe's performance as little more than a kitsch drag show.

 TEZUKA OSAMU @ WORLD : STUDIO PHOENIX
From 1943 to 1945 in Takarazuka, Tezuka Osamu was studying for his university examinations (he was 15 to 17 years old at that time).
Moreover, Takarazuka, where he was raised, was a modern city with its girls' revue company, amusement parks, and sophisticated buildings, and in nearby Osaka there were science museums and movie theaters.
In particular, buildings standing in the near-future city look similar to those in his mind (for example, the Takarazuka Dance Hall and a science museum in Osaka), but the scene in which they are destroyed gives us the impression that he is a non-fiction writer addressing social problems.
