2009 off-stage postcards~~~~!

[matataku_hoshi]

I've always had a thing for the official Takarazuka postcards.  They were one of the first items I started collecting <3

Last year they only were released one set I think?  I can't figure out if it's a yearly or twice a year thing.  This time around they're being called 「2009年冬・ポートレイトポストカード」, so does that imply there will be a second set?  I remember last year's was interesting since it added some new stars to the lineup.  With all of the shakeups anticipated, I'm wondering if a future set this year would add some other up and coming stars.

Anyway, I can't help but comment on a few of my favorites:



I'm so glad they used this shot!!!  It's from Kiriyan's "Update" feature from Graph 2008.  Kiriyan looks particularly good in purple <3



I'm not a big fan of yellow, but...Tonami *_______*



Aaaagggh I don't know what to make of this picture.  It's from the August 2008 Kageki, and I remember because it came out a few days before I left Japan.  It's a good picture and Micchan looks really good, but she looks so un-Micchan-esque that I actually flipped past it the first time I was looking through that issue ^^;  Something about her reminds me a little of Miwacchi.  wao_wao commented that she was probably doing her makeup differently, which makes sense.  At least it's a good picture? ^^;

Oh! Wow, yeah, at first glance, Micchan really does look like Miwacchi. I didn't even know until you mentioned it! I think it's the hair, mostly. And yeah, the makeup probably.
