The **Takarazuka version of "Castlevania: Dracula" musical album is now available overseas! Taiwan can also listen on Apple Music.**

Taiwanese travelers who enjoy Japanese musical theater, Takarazuka Revue, or the classic "Castlevania" video game series have some exciting news. Takarazuka Creative Arts is making the music from the Flower Troupe's production of the musical drama "Castlevania: The Sound of Gold ~Awakening Under the Moon~" available for international streaming to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their music distribution service, "Takarazuka Revue Music."

This is the first time Takarazuka Revue Music has offered music distribution overseas, and Taiwan is included in the list of available regions. Even if you can't currently travel to Japan to see a performance, you can still experience the musical world of the Takarazuka version of "Castlevania: Dracula" through Apple Music.

Takarazuka Revue Music's first overseas distribution, Taiwan is also on the list

The biggest highlight of this distribution is that it is the first time "Takarazuka Revue Music" has been released for music distribution overseas. The regions where it can be streamed include the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan, for a total of 7 countries and regions.

For Taiwanese fans, in the past, accessing Takarazuka musicals usually required methods like using domestic Japanese services, purchasing physical merchandise, or attending live performances. Now, being able to listen on Apple Music significantly lowers the barrier to entry, making it easier for overseas fans to experience Takarazuka stage productions.

The classic game "Castlevania: Dracula" will be adapted into a Takarazuka musical for the first time.

Castlevania is a Gothic horror action game series launched by Konami Digital Entertainment in 1986, which has enjoyed long-standing popularity both in Japan and overseas.

This time, Takarazuka Revue has adapted the series into its first-ever musical work, reinterpreting the game's dark fantasy worldview with Takarazuka's unique original story and magnificent performances. For players familiar with the original work, this is an opportunity to re-appreciate the work from the perspective of stage and music; for Takarazuka audiences, they can also experience a gothic style different from traditional themes.

Distribution content: Two albums, each with 15 songs

This broadcast features two music albums, both of which are from the Flower Troupe's Grand Theater performances.

Digital album

Flower Troupe Grand Theater "Castlevania" Part-1 (All 15 songs)

Flower Troupe Grand Theater "Castlevania Dracula" Part-2 (All 15 songs)

The two albums together feature a total of 30 songs, allowing you to fully experience the musical atmosphere of the stage production. Whether you want to reminisce about the performance or are encountering the Takarazuka version of "Castlevania: Dracula" for the first time, these two albums are a great place to start.
