Brothers Karamazov

Casting for The Brothers Karamazov is up.  I have to admit that I don't know the book, so the role names don't mean much to me right now.

Retirements are Ouju Hirari (89th) and Isaki Maoto (87th).

Jawa no Odoriko and some thoughts on the Ayaki Nao era

So the other day I sat down and watched Jawa no Odoriko.  I got a little discouraged when I saw that it was an Ueda Shinji show, and actually thought about turning it off right after the very pink opening number.  But now while I wouldn't put it up on my list of favorite shows, it actually was a fairly entertaining way to pass two and a half hours.
