El Halcon / Takarazuka goods

Notes: Hey all! So, a couple people asked for updates when the El Halcon goods started being released. And they're on their way now!
Firstly, and most interestingly, Yes Asia has the theme CD out for pre-order ($12.75). It's actually a very good price, considering it's free shipping and the original price is 1,260 yen. It corresponds to this item, and it has "El Halcon", "Seven Seas, Seven Skies" and "Revue Orchis" on it, as well as the karaoke versions of those three tracks.
Usually Takarazuka goods aren't available directly through stores which ship to the US. The usual method is to use a shopping service. A friend of mine has written a guide to buying things in this way.
Before I go any further, I noticed that Aran Kei (the actress who played Tyrian) has made an appearance on the cover of February's issue of Princess magazine (the monthly magazine that Eroica is published in). I can't quite read it, but it looks like Aoike did a special report on the show?
This is the official page for the El Halcon CDs and DVD, with links to all of them. The ones that aren't released yet are all available for pre-order. The five products listed are:
DVD / 10,500 yen / release date Feb. 5th
Live CD / 2,850 yen / release date Jan. 30th (this is actually only for the revue show, Revue Orchis, not for El Halcon)
Theme song CD / 1,260 yen / release date Jan. 30th
Piano CD / 800 yen / release date Nov 2nd (instrumental only)
Song Book / 630 yen / release date Nov 2nd (music and lyrics)

Some of the El Halcon soundtrack is released, online here. You can purchase it through iTunes if you have a Japanese iTunes music card. You can buy them online through places like this. I will be honest, though... I bought it and wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped to be. I think something like this needs the picture to make the songs less cheesy. ;)
Other goods:
There are two versions of the program, one for each theater it was staged on. They're the blue ones with the falcon on the front cover.
Volume 95 of Le Cinq magazine is for El Halcon and Revue Orchis. It contains lots of large stage photos, and the script of the show.
The Quatre Reves store has stage photos and other silly trinkets marketed for the show. Unfortunately, a lot of them are only available in their real stores, and not online.

PS - I shall also be naughty here and mention that I'm selling some Aoike Yasuko manga, for anyone who might be interested.
