    • Info on foreign 'siennes?

    Posted by bunretsu on Tue 06 of Jun, 2006 00:15 GMT-0000
    Okay, I'm hoping you very informed historical people will know something about these foreign Takarasiennes because Google isn't really helping me.

    There's a 'sienne called マリアン　サヴェール (Marian Saveeru, roughly)? She joined the company in 1967, then left the following year. Google gives me nothing on her... Was she one of those who simply came for the music school's training and then moved on?

    Incidentally the same class of 1967 also had a girl from Taiwan called 三原　志麻 (Mihara Shima) who changed her name to 三原　淳 (Mihara Jun). She was in the company for nine years.　She attended a high school in Kobe, though. I'm curious as to her background...

    Finally, there's another a foreign-sounding 'sienne called マリア　バティスタ (Maria Batista) who joined in 1965 and left five years later, but she is listed as from Takarazuka city and even attended a Japanese middle school, so I wonder what her story is...

    I'd appreciate any info anyone might have on these or other interesting foreign 'siennes. Thanks~

    If I remember it correctly, there is another OG from Taiwan, she name should be 麗 Tamaki, she was born in Tai-tong (台東), which is the eastern park of Taiwan, and went to Japan with her uncle (I think something happened to her parents). And her uncle wants her to become a Takarazuka Star, so she becomes one XD.
    She came to Taiwan in 2004 with the OG troupe, that’s how I know her. Well, below is an article I found online about her, and I’m too lazy to translate (I’m going to bed XD), I bet there will be other people who are nice enough to translate for you guys 

    十三歲從台東移民日本的麗，是寶塚歌劇團OG團唯一的台灣人，當年跟著舅舅到日本，在舅舅的堅持下考進寶塚音樂學校。沒有受過正統歌舞訓練的她，能夠入榜，令當時許多人刮目相看。她表示，寶塚是訓練嚴格的地方，要成為歌劇團團員登上舞台前，必須先考上學校受二年訓練，而且學校規定十八歲以下才可以入學，所以寶塚每個演員都是精挑細選，才能登上舞台。
    　麗表示，寶塚對團員的要求相當嚴格，演員不能在劇團行程以外的舞台表演，她還記得劇團要求演員遵從「清、正、美」的信念，「男人不能入團、團員不能戀愛和結婚」她笑著說，規定很嚴苛，要求團員保持美麗的身材。
    　二十多年前，麗曾回台做秀，演出《春之舞》、《夢幻慶典》等舞碼。她說，自己一直期待能組團排舞演出，在寶塚待了七年後，毅然退團。離開劇團後，她在東京教舞、並且主持電視節目，目前在「AmusementMedia綜合學院」大阪分校擔任舞蹈講師，並且教爵士與HipHop等。
    　麗看到曾經是寶塚的學姊曹金鈴和已故舞蹈家謝美世回台後繼續舞蹈發展，自己也期待能夠回台發展舞蹈路。

    Wow, that is quite curious... Maria Batista sounds like a Portuguese or Brazilian name.

    Before WWII, Taiwan was a colony of Japan (even 李登輝 said that he lived as a Japanese for half of his life). It is quite usual that Japanese married with a Taiwanese at the time, or even after the war for a brief period. I think that how Mihara Shima came from.

    For Maria's case, my guess is that she is a Japanese-American with a American dad and Japanese mom.

    Hi!

    I'm not sure about the others that you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure that the former Top Star Otori Ran is of Chinese descent.
