takarazuka nerds only need apply

so... this was just posted on the takarazuka lj:

OMG yeay! I've been avoiding taka for a while to save my pocketbook, so I didn't know they had little video clips from most of the shows currently available! I wish they told you a little more about them though. Like for instance,... "this is a talkie show, which means gaijin need not waste their 100 bucks on it" or "this is a talkie, but sumire still looks hot in it, worth the $100."

things you should know about my taka tastes:
- I love Sumire, Saeko, Jun Sena and conditionally Comu and Mizu .... for some reason I do not like Wataru. (sorry Wataru)... I bet I would like Takashiro Kei too.
- some of my favorite shows are Ludwig, Rose of Versailles, Elisabeth, and Ernest in Love
- I'm starting to get into kabuki and traditional japanese stories more, so I wouldn't mind getting a takarazukaXOXOXOXKimono dvd (but preferably one that's not so "talkie" that I can't enjoy it??)

I'm pretty sure I definitely have to get this one:
taka wiki ... video clip page ... .also, if char reads this post... LOOK!!!

I'm kinda interested in these:
--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-155 (I love the music from this one, I know it's on that "best of takarazuka" cd)

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-148 - comu looking super gothy/angsty!

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-145 - comu again, but this one looks cute like Ernest in Love! I wonder if it's any good?

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-144 - pretty kimono

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-076 - sumire!

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-080 - Sumire in a white pimp suit?

--- http://www.tca-pictures.net/shop/cgi-bin/item_seek.cgi?goods_code=TCAD-065 - again, pretty kimono

--- Also curious about the new Sumire phantom

--- I also never got the new Rose of Versailles dvds, which I really should get at least one of since I saw the show in person and all. :P

--- also... this one (or another performance of it) http://koinoyamatoji.com/yamatoji/ ( takawiki I guess it's out of print and VHS only. maybe I can search YJA for it? I wouldn't know where to start.) )

Does anyone have any of them and can make comments on whether I might like them, etc? I'm posting here because I thought my list was too long and that it might be irritating to the LJ comm. If I can narrow it down some I'll probably crosspost there.
