Although a stickler might term
her feelings “mixed,” singer
Kaoru Uji, while paying token
respect to the consecrated insti­
tution, admitted she is glad to
be out from under the banner of
the famed Takarazuka Girls’
Opera Troupe after ten years.
Miss Uji explained that she
quit Takarazuka because of her

To perpetuate their illusion of
purity, Takarazuka girls cannot
be married.

She no longer cared to submit
offers for television and radio
performances to the Takarazuka
bosses. And, even though a star,
her salary was less than consider­
able.

On Her Own

Most important, however, Miss
Uji felt the need of competition.
In the past, she cited, when she

assured.
But in her status as a free
lancer, Kaoru feels that competi­
tive forces will cause her talents
to be snarpened, not to mention
a padding of her pride and bank
account.
In noting her resistance to
completely- embrace her Takara­
zuka career, Miss Uji, inserting
a sense of fairness, pointed out
that the peculiar nature of the
