April Update

[ti_project]

Hi, all. Sorry, didn't mean to keep you in suspense for so long, but wanted to make sure everything was sorted before I posted.

Firstly, thank you all for your comments and feedback. :) This is going to be short because I'm typing on my cellphone.

We've basically decided that the fault lay with us as well, for not being explicit enough. Personally, I wanted to avoid sounding dictatorial, but better that than running the risk of seeming passive-aggressive!

So we're going to go through and fix the wording on the site, and start using the form letter again. And to spare our distro gal there will be some changes there too.

We'll keep you updated on the changes and let you know when distro reopens. Thanks for your patience!

Bah, sure. As soon as I discover you all, I also discover that some nimrod went and ruined the spirit of your hard work!

I'll keep watching and hoping I can buy a distro from you guys. We watched Elisabeth today in Japanese and obviously, a LOT is lost in translation.

No worries; shouldn't be too much longer. Well, by our usual snail pace, which means probably another two or three weeks. ;)

Woohoo!

Hi there, thanks for giving us non-japanese speaking Takarazuka fans a chance again.. You girls are really benevolent. I don't believe there's even one single person out there who will agree that you have to bear responsibilities in this matter at all. It clearly states on TIP main page that you "do not want your work online in any form". Offenders are really just being very insensible.

So, again, thank you for making the decision to reopen the distro once more to us - strangers with the same interest. Even though I've expressed gratitude in emails to you previously when purchasing TIP shows, it will never be enough. Thank you all for your time, efforts and hard work on the shows you've done so far without asking for any thing in return (except to respect your simple, rightful request not to distribute your materials online or for sale). Also, thank you for making it possible for me/us to understand and enjoy even a single Takarazuka show in its full splendid and glorious entirety! You've made a dream come true for me, ai_to_shi, bunretsu, ekusudei, caithion, jenebi, kirakira_sora, merryshannon, mizukusa, muffin_song, princesslucia and wao_wao, my sincerest gratitude to all of you. =]

Thank you very much, that's incredibly kind of you. (Although, to be honest, we did re-word the main page after the kersnuffle.)

We're doing this because we love Takarazuka, and love to spread the love. It's great to hear back from other fans, so I appreciate you taking the time to leave us a note.

Thanks!
