Kio Kanade

Takarazuka Revue Moon Troupe 2014 performance. Arsene Lupin side-story about the youth of Donald Dawson and Count Hereford.

It is 17th-century France, where Louis XIV, the "Sun King," reigns. The Musketeers, who answer to the king, diligently train themselves day in and day out to protect their liege and the state. Each of these highly skilled warriors also has a unique personality: Porthos is courageous and daring, Athos is calm and reassuring, Aramis is a ladies' man like none other in his time, while d'Artagnan is our invincible hero. All, meanwhile, are utterly proud and brave warriors.

Joan of Arc, the heroine who saved her homeland of France from the looming evil clutches of England in the Middle Ages. In the end, Joan was burned at the stake without any warning, when she disappeared in a flash of lightening, and strayed into the 21st century. Joan fosters friendships and connections through the people she encounters in this distant time, while rejoicing in this age of freedom. At last this otherworldly, extraordinary character and her words and actions begin to gain her attention from "modern" France....
