At Takarazuka Music School in Hyogo Prefecture, the results were announced, and 15 people who broke through the narrow gate with a magnification of more than 40 times took the first step toward Takara Jenne.

Since the spread of the new coronavirus, the method of posting examination numbers in the school has been discontinued and announcements have been made on the website for three years.

On the 3th, before the announcement of the results at 29 a.m., some examinees were seen waiting near the school for the announcements, and when they confirmed the results on their smartphones, they shared the joy with their parents.

Among them, Ms. Akimai Hashimoto (10) from Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, said, "I'm glad I've done my best so far, and I'm most grateful to my mother for supporting me nearby. I want to play the role of a man who can dance and sing dynamically," he said, his voice shaking.

Yuka Inoue (15), who took the exam from Shiga Prefecture, said happily, "I joined a local opera company from the third grade of elementary school, learned ballet and dance, and have always wanted to enter Takarazuka, so I am happy that I passed.

According to the school, 15 people from all over Japan took the exam this year, and 3 passed, a multiplier of 612.40 times.

The entrance ceremony is scheduled to be held on the 15th of next month, and new students will take lessons in vocal music and ballet for two years to aim for Takara Jenne.
