...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.

It's rather depressing that a ken-9 musumeyaku is an "older" musumeyaku. The disparity in ages between otokoyaku and musumeyaku top stars is one I find rather annoying.

I will keep my fingers crossed for Ai-chan. :)

EXTREMELY. (I realize that there is a history of this throughout Takarazuka, but it still doesn't make me happy).

I miss musumeyaku who were young ladies, not little girls.

YES. I tend to like musumeyaku in two categories: 1) Mature (a la Asuka or Tonami), or 2) Spunky (a la Ume, Alice (who doesn't seem to take any nonsense offstage), Ai-chan, etc).

Anyway, I'll stop here, I might write a big post addressing this later.
