Thank you to everyone who has given us such sweet words of encouragement over the past 13 years!

We originally started this fansub group to make Takarazuka more accessible to Western fandom. However, today the Takarazuka Revue is available in ways we could never have dreamed of back then. An official English website with a ticketing system! Stores in Japan which will ship directly abroad! An official Takarazuka channel on Youtube! In light of all this, and looking at how amazingly popular Takarazuka has gotten among English-speaking fans over the past couple of decades, we feel that our mission is really accomplished now.

Additionally, Sky Stage has posted recently several requests to not copy their transmissions. With such an explicit request, we feel that it would be extremely rude to ignore their wishes.

Many of the texts from our translations are available at the TakaWiki, and we urge you to go there if that's what you're looking for now.

I’m going to miss you guys! Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done. I’ve used the DVDs to introduce people to Takarazuka and got a couple of converts in my city.

Thank you, Rachel!

I really will miss the aspect of getting to meet all kinds of fans thru TIP, but hopefully I can keep doing so in other fandom spaces. :)

Thank you for everything all these years! Your translations have helped so much & I've used a lot of your discs to get friends interested in zuka.

Of course I curse my laziness as I kept meaning to get a few discs from you last year & kept forgetting but totally understand the reasons for closing. But I see you do have the script up for Black Lizard which is what i wanted the most & I do own the dvd so just gotta get myself to actually read it!
