Chihiro Otsuka and Rina Chinen to star in 'Dance of the Vampires'

to perfect her sex appeal, while Chinen, who is new to the role, said she will put all that she can into the role, especially the bath scenes.

Is this a pornographic musical or something?

Gaijinocchio, what else can sell here? And the meaning of the words sex appeal, child porn, adult, etc have a totally different meaning here. Good idea for linguists: a dictionary of the actual meaning of borrowed words in the Jcontext.

Well, this is based on the 1967 spoof horror movie "Dance of the Vampires" - written by, and starring alleged kiddie-fiddler Roman Polanski along with his wife Sharon Tate (shortly before she was butchered, whilst pregnant, by Charles Manson and his psycho "family").

So - it should have everything your average Japanese sadist or sociopath would ever want from a musical, eh?

BTW: The wiki page describing this musical's broadway run says:

Dance of the Vampires is one of the biggest financial flops in Broadway history, losing roughly $12 million, easily eclipsing the infamous musical Carrie

Hardly a glowing recommendation to bother going and seeing it sung in Japanese.

... Chinen, who is new to the role, said she will put all that she can into the role, especially the bath scenes.

Well, it's piqued my interest already :)
