About This Movie

So, 'VERDAD!! -The Sound of Truth-' is really a showcase for the Takarazuka Revue style, led by the dynamic Makoto Rei and her troupe of stars. The first act is a playful amalgamation of beloved tunes, really capturing that vibrant essence that fans of musical theater adore. The pacing keeps you engaged, flowing from spirited performances to more introspective moments in the second act that veers into pop and rock, adding a contemporary twist. There's an electric atmosphere throughout, and the practical effects are cleverly done, enhancing the performances without overshadowing them. It's interesting to see how the themes of truth and expression weave through the diverse musical selections.

This film has seen a bit of a niche following among collectors, especially those with an affinity for musical theater and Japanese performance art. It’s not overly common on home video formats, which adds to its appeal. Many collectors are keenly interested in the specific dynamics of the Takarazuka style as it translates to film, making copies somewhat sought after, especially in good condition. Be on the lookout for any special editions or unique releases that might pop up.
