Announcements!

Congratulations Mika!  I'll admit that I like Nacchan better, but Mika is certainly acceptable.  (If anything, Nacchan is a little too much like Tonami, and it may have been eerie).

Oh, and other announcements *goes off to read*

Hmm... I think what really pushed me over the edge with her was watching her Parisai the other day. I mean, I'd seen Hallelujah Go Go so I had some reference as to her as the lead role. And of course we all know she's amazing at singing, dancing, and acting... Scarlet Pimpernel was a more recent reminder of that. But getting to see her do MC sections and really lead the discussion that way gave me a lot more of the "top star" sort of feeling from her... If you haven't seen it, maybe you should ^^

In my opinion, the thing I find most amazing about Chie is how good her reputation is. I don't think I know anyone who said "Chie isn't good enough" or "Chie isn't ready"... I think most people said, "Chie is really good, but it would be nice to keep her around longer" or "Chie is really good, but there are others who have been in line longer."

That being said, I can imagine it will be a lot of pressure for her to be such a young top star. But at least her troupe is pretty young and she does have the talent to back up the title. So maybe there will be a little awkwardness, but I suppose I have a lot of faith in her.
