Japan is definitely a country of contrasts. While they're an advanced society which has learnt to respect each other and make things in an ordered way, despite living in a tight space, they still support outdated and discriminatory ideologies. Here in Mexico, a "third world country", many enterprises have started to ban high heels due to health and safety reasons.

There're things about Japan I'll never understand.

I love French musicals, and this one was really good. In my opinion, dresses and costumes of the Japanese version look great, however, performing French musicals with all-female voices is not the best idea, a least not for this one. La Legende du Roi Arthur needs a strong contrast between voices, which is hard to achieve only with female actors. On the other hand, I'd love to see King Arthur's role being played by a female, since that would remind me about the famous anime/novel series Fate. Let's see how it turns out.
