There's absolutely nothing for western fans to get excited about. Unless you want to pay that ridiculous price for the DVD or take a trip to go see the performance you're out of luck. At least an anime would've had a better chance of fan subbing and distribution.
Of course, I'm personally biased because I just really don't like Takarazuka in any way, shape or form. I'd be a lot less disappointed if it was a somewhat more traditional group doing it like the folks who did the Bleach musicals. I dunno it's just that there's some characters that need to be masculine and from what I've seen of Takarazuka they kinda fail at being manly.

Capcom doesn't really have to do ANYTHING for us if they don't want to, guys :/ They're centered in Japan, so they should be doing stuff for their home market. It's like (just to give a very lame example) Spongebob. Worldwide hit. But it's not like Nickelodeon was like 'OH WE HAVE TO DO THINGS JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE IN JAPAN. AND THE AUDIENCE IN AUSTRALIA TOO.' No. The home base is the US so naturally that's where you're going to find all the merchandise. See what I mean?
also lol at all the I WANTED AN ANIME BAWWWWWWWWW

Nah man, appealing to your customers is like the worst thing ever.
No company in the world HAS to do anything, ever. Of course they don't. But that's no excuse for anything, ever, either.

Unless you have a region 2 DVD player, any 'Japanese' region 0 DVD you are able to play on an American (region 1) DVD player is more than likely a Taiwanese counterfeit. So, either way, CAPCOM doesn't see the money.
Hmm, I need to look into getting a region-free DVD player. :P But $84? That's... ouch. Maybe it comes with a photobook or something?
Maybe Netflix'll have it. <---This girl lives in a dream.

With Rose of Versailles it made sense as the series is super shoujo. But Phoenix Wright.....
Romantic isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Phoenix Wright and Takarazuka is all about romance.
....which basically allows me to conclude that all those Naruhodou/Mayoi shippers out there are about to get a great big present with this one.
(hopefully us Mei/Mitsurugi shippers too...maybe maybe...)

I wish.. but something tells me this may be the one shot at pleasing the Phoenix/Edgeworth fans.
Or Phoenix and Mia. I always did like that pairing, though I don't see it possible in the actual games.

I think the fact that she's dead is a huge contributing factor on that one. I don't think Maya would want to keep channeling her sister so that Phoenix could properly date her.

Regardless, a GS musical makes no less sense than a Bleach one even if the Bleach musical had gender appropriate casting (Bleach was one of the very last things on my mind that would be made into a musical). I think it's the very idea that a whole group of females are performing that is scaring/creeping everyone out.

There is a possibilty that the "romance" theme doesn't center on Phoenix himself, btw. Throughout the series, Phoenix doesn't get into any romantic entanglements himself until game 3, but most of the cases have some kind of love reference. If the musical deals with an original case, the romance might be between OCs.

I may watch it in Japanese, though, if someone adds english subtitles at the bottom whenever it comes out (hopefully) on DVD or something...
Below someone said something about a Bleach musical... LAWLWUT?
And to non-believers of Phoenix Wright becoming a musical; check out the Phoenix Wright: The Musical thread in the Defendant Lobby. We've managed to write songs, so they probably will. XD

(A couple things I got - the Valkyrie keychains for VP - later got put in the official Square-Enix store on their English site, well after they'd gotten sold out at at least one online store I looked at. I can't help but wonder if the two are related...)
I'm also pretty much just grateful that the game came out over here at all, and caught on so much that they decided to bring over the others too. One of my favorite games of all time, Seiken Densetsu III, has never been released outside of Japan and never will be, so that gives me a little perspective on being happy for every good game that does get released over here. ^^ So, let them do a musical, an opera, whatever it is. They're entitled to, just as I'm entitled to not be interested simply because that sort of thing is not my cup of tea. I just hope they give us some tidbits about the new games soon.

Eh, they can do whatever they like; Japanese companies catering to their Japanese audience is nothing new to me. And I've been able to order, in the past, Japan-only merchandise through websites that deal in such items(I've even used the Japanese Amazon a couple times, like for the recently released artbook for the Valkyrie Profile games) and places like Kinokuniya, or the dealer's room at cons, so it doesn't really bother me - if I have the money and the desire for an item, I can find a way to get it a lot of the time.
Most of the time that's true, but Capcom puts the majority of their Gyakuten Saiban merchandise for sale only on their Japanese e-store (which does not ship internationally). On Japanese Amazon you can find the games, the fanbooks, and the doujin (when they're in stock) but stuff like the Garyuu necklace, the Papa Hat, most of the keychains and bracelets and things, hardly ever show up on import sites and rarely on Ebay, and when they do, they sell out pretty fast. When I bought the GS Playing cards off Play Asia, they went out of stock less than a week later.
If we want the chance to even be able to import most GS merchandise, we have to make a stink to Capcom so they know they can afford to produce more of it.

I find that rather hilarious becuase Cosplayers have been able to pull that off (and many of them, maybe even most of them, are not professional hair stylists).
I really want to see what their Edge Worth looks like.

And yes, the japanese are CRAZY for not porting this stuff into an Anime. I know they have the resources, and they've already put it into manga form...(not to mention adding a whole new game style for the series in Gyakuten Kenji there), and I know Capcom would sure as hell make a LOT of money off of it. I know how popular PW is HERE, for goodness sakes.. I can't even imagine what the response would be in Japan where it's obviously more mainstream. Like how One Piece is like, uber popular in Japan, whereas a lot of American otaku don't give a flying crap about it. GS could rule the world if they tried hard enough.
An easy Turnabout is never a fun Turnabout... you have to know you're screwed to understand what it's really like to win! -me ^^
