Okabe used his background as a former Takarazienne to direct a revue.

In an attempt to somehow extract money from Tanimachi, the suspect Okabe finally turned to fraud. What kind of actor was Okabe during his Takarazuka days?

Okabe entered Takarazuka Music School in 1972. In 1974, he joined the Takarazuka Revue and performed under the stage name “Tsukasa Miya,” but he was not very successful. After leaving the Takarazuka Revue in 1977, she worked as a broadcast producer and dance instructor before founding “Alexandrite” in 2011. He was involved in planning and directing revues and dinner shows by Takarazuka OGs.

He loved the glamorous world and led an extravagant life, wearing fancy costumes and attending parties and dinner shows day after day. On the other hand, his business was not going well and his debts were mounting. The company seemed to be running on a bicycle.

The spirit of “clean, right, and beautiful” was supposed to have been learned at Takarazuka. Where on earth did the spirit of purity and beauty that Takarazuka was supposed to have instilled in him go?
