Sena Jun retirement announcement

...is anyone really surprised?

I have mixed feelings on this one.  I feel like Asako overstayed her time and I hated the fact that the company never gave her a new partner after Mihoko, but there are also performances of hers that I really love (Ernest and Love and Me and My Girl, namely).  Also, I got into fandom in January of 2007.  From the top stars of that time, only Mizu is left o.O

Whew, what a crazy year for retirements.

As much as I was waiting for it and am glad that Asako is moving on... its still kinda bitter. Retirements are not fun for anyone.

I really wish she hadn't come to the point she had and that she had no partner after Mihoko.

I enjoyed Asako as an otokoyaku in her earlier days and as Mihoko's partner. She didn't seem to be happy with her situation and now she can do whatever she likes :-D

It will be sad to see her go, as she is indeed one of those "first faces of Takarazuka" that define my personal fandom. As is the general consensus, though, it is her time.

Is it essentially a given that Kiriyan will replace her?

I can't say I'm surprised by this at all. Ever since Elisabeth was announced, I've been expecting it. Sort of expected her to go with that, but I suppose losing Touko/Asuka, Tonami and Tani/Ume in repid succession over 3 months would have been a bit too much.

Not surprised, but still a bit sad :( Anyway she looked so tired lately, so, uh, maybe it's for the best? *entertains mad hope of Kiriyan making top with Ai-chan*

Pleasepleaseplease let me know on the money transfer questions I emailed you before this afternoon (your time). It's my last chance to do it before your deadline, because I have to work during open ATM hours on Wed/Th, and I'll be in Tokyo on Friday.

The one day I decide to stay away from the pc this sort of things happen. *sigh* It wasn't really surprising, considering the name of the show and all...we all what to expect from performances with words related to goodbye/farewell/last and etc.

So...does anyone know when the next top annoucement will be made?
