Announcements!

[matataku_hoshi]

Congratulations to Chie and Nene, our new hoshigumi top combi!  A year ago I would have been really disappointed by Nene, but I feel she's improved in her time in hoshigumi.  I'll probably never be the world's biggest fan, but I can more or less accept this and will try not to dwell on the other musumeyaku who could have taken this position.  Or maybe this is all just relief that the theory about getting rid of the top musumeyaku position has been debunked? ^^;

Kaname is moving to hoshigumi after the Takarazuka run of Zorro (and obviously won't be in the Tokyo run). 

Chigi is moving to yukigumi after BeruBara and will be in the Tokyo run of Zorro.

Amasaki Chihana is moving to hanagumi after BeruBara.

This is actually a lot less shakeups than I was expecting.  *scratches head* Wait, weren't we expecting some tsukigumi things?  Unless this is going to come in stages?  I wouldn't be surprised.

Excuse me while I guiltily sit around and feel relieved that Micchan wasn't moved ^^;

Well, I totally do not agree with Kaname's moving... but for the rest it's ok.

Don't get me wrong, I can see how you and others would be attached to her being in yukigumi. I am as well, for that matter.

But this probably means that she's being moved into a sanbante position at the very least, or maybe even a nibante position. It's a really good sign for her career *shrugs*

seina! seina! no way! ;__;

ehhh... no more Aqua5? O_o

I'm pretty ok with this. My not-so-secret wish was to steal Kiriyan for top, but Chie has shown that she's very capable. I will have to study Aka to Kuro for Nene.

I'm ok with stealing Teru. I'm sure yukigumists feel differently, but as a hoshigumist who happens to like Teru... I'm rather pleased. So are they going to put her as sanbante after Toyoko or nibante? I wonder...

I can see Chigi as a good fit for Yuki.

My random thought is about when Yuzurun was starting to look like a young Teru with her hair and style... so having the honmono no Teru in hoshi too... rather interesting.

Yes, I know... but still :S It's really hard to imagine yukigumi without her.
Hoshigumi will be a very, very young troupe from now on. :) I'm only wondering if that's all... or if there are more changes and movements to come soon.
I hope that we'll still get to see Kaname in Aqua5 together with Mizu and all the others. :)

LONG LIVE THE CHIE!

I am weeping on behalf of Katharina's wallet, but I do think Teru is well-suited to Hoshigumi.

Hoshigumi will be a very, very young troupe from now on. :)

True, but that was probably going to be the case regardless, with Chie being so young *shrug*

I'm only wondering if that's all... or if there are more changes and movements to come soon.

I wouldn't be surprised. It keeps us on our feet? ^^;

I've kind of accepted the inevitability of transfers except for when it comes to my own girls XD Seriously, though, most star-track otokoyaku transfer at least once in their career, if not more.

ehhh... no more Aqua5? O_o

*shrug* It couldn't last forever.

I hope we'll still see more of AQUA5 though, I did like them very much. Psh, no need for boy bands when you have AQUA5.

I'm just going to miss her very much. Yukigumi is the troupe I consider my own and it's always sad to see someone go, even if it's for her own good.

I will always love Kaname, and I believe that from here on I'll be watching Hanagumi more often.

My not-so-secret wish was to steal Kiriyan for top, but Chie has shown that she's very capable.

I agree, Kiriyan would have been a good fit. I will admit that I not-so-secretly want to keep her for tsuki post-Asako (which will happen...eventually? ^^;)

I will have to study Aka to Kuro for Nene.

I thought Nene was pretty bland during her tsukigumi days, but she seems to have improved while in hoshigumi. I thought she did a good job in Aka to Kuro. She's still not Asuka, but then again not many people are -_-;

I'm ok with stealing Teru. I'm sure yukigumists feel differently, but as a hoshigumist who happens to like Teru... I'm rather pleased. So are they going to put her as sanbante after Toyoko or nibante? I wonder...

I feel for the yukigumi fans, but this looks like a REALLY good sign for Teru. Poor Toyoko hasn't been very promoted lately, so I'm guessing she'll be sanbante as best.

I can see Chigi as a good fit for Yuki.

I'm having trouble imagining this, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

[muffin-song.livejournal.com]

I am weeping on behalf of Katharina's wallet, but I do think Teru is well-suited to Hoshigumi.

I can see her under Chie. Of all of the over-promoted young otokoyaku, Kaname is one of the ones I like the best (rather than resenting ^^;), so I'm pleased with this development.

[prinzerik.livejournal.com]

wow !!! i hope my clubnews are truh and suzumi will be her nibante

[demoneyeskyo87.livejournal.com]

I'm just happy for the news, :D!

I can't wait to see what Chie/Nene would do to spark up New Hoshi, :D!

Kaname, <333! I've wanted her to stay in Yuki(this troupe had her name written all over), but hopefully she'll be great in Hoshi.

[sumirepanther.livejournal.com]

I'm happy about the Hoshigumi's new top combi announcement (as I have expected) and the transfer of Teru who is most likely to leapfrog from the Yuki yobante to the Hoshi nibante (though I'm a bit sentimental about the breakup of Teru-Kita batchmate combi).

At the same time, personally it's sad to realize there is no reunion of Chie-Ume. Anyway, I'd like Ume-chan to stay with Takarazuka.

Is there a possibility of... Mizu-Ume ???
