Shangri-La role names
So a lot of the Shangri La character names are puns and/or have second meanings based on their kanji. This is what I have figured out so far: (and er, obviously correct me if I got any of these wrong ^^;)
Oozora Yuuhi (Sora 空): Sky ("Sora" is an alternate reading of the "zora" part of Yuuhi's name)
Nono Sumika (Miu 美雨): Beautiful Rain (?)
Suzuna Saya (Yun 雲): Cloud
Ranju Tomu (Ran 嵐): Storm ("Ran" is from "Ranju")
Yuumi Hiro (Aisu 氷): Ice (氷 translates to "ice", and "Aisu" would be this word in katakana)
Hokushou Kairi (Kai 海): Sea ("Kai" is from "Kairi")
Toki Irisu (Fon 風): Wind
Hasumi Yuuya (Hyou 雹): Hail
Junya Chitose (Fogu 霧): Fog (霧 translates to "fog", "Fogu" is a katakana-ized way of writing this)
Nanami Hiroki (Rui 涙): Tears
Aihana Chisaki (Hien 飛燕): Flying Swallow (?)
Fujisaki Eri (Mizore 霙): Sleet
Sorahane Riku (Sou 蒼): Blue
Aizuki Hikaru (Kou 紅): Rouge
Names I haven't figured out yet: Amou Tamaki (Yan Yan 欣欣), Houshou Dai (Bunjaku 文雀), Hanatsuyu Sumika (Fon Fon 芳芳)
I'm having way too much fun XD Also, I'm predicting Kai-chan as Sumika's lover who vanished. It's the kind of role she's good at, and with a name that means tears...? Poor Kai-chan ;)
Alas Mitsuki (my favorite 94th) didn't get a named role, but neither did a lot of other people. I'm mostly just glad that she got into a show at all.

i would secretly love it if she wielded a massive sword and rode a motorcycle. musumeyako can be badass too!
Poor Tomochin
this is what happens when you're tall. you get stereotyped into villain roles :p
anyway, now i'm REALLY curious to see what this show will be like.
no subject
They can be, and Ayumi can be one of the few musumeyaku left that actually can.
Yet the idea of Ayumi with a motorcycle is utterly hilarious XD
no subject
i will blame that weird idea on final fantasy vii :p
