There's (what I think is) a review of Osaka Samurai up here.  I don't really like how Kiriyan looks in that picture, but I think that's largely due to the angle of her head.  You can't see her topknot so it makes her look bald -_-  Will attempt to see what I can get out of it after I finish posting.  I'm really hoping that this show is good.  And that there's aisle dancing.  *has an aisle seat for one performance ^_^*

Edit: I focused in on the third paragraph.  That seemed to be pretty positive.  Still am worried that I won't be able to understand anything, but hey, it's tsukigumi.

Tonight's Takarazuka Cafe Break was Asaka Manato, who played Akechi Kogorou in the Black Lizard shinjikoen.  From the short clips I saw, she still has that shinjikouen roughness around the edges, but I was impressed.  I really hope that “Propose” ends up as a Takarazuka standard cause I’d really like to hear as many different siennes as possible sing it.  Hanagumi was lucky enough to be blessed with some very good music in that show.

Actually, it sounds a lot more interesting than I thought it would.

Plus.... Maggie as a villian? *_* You don't know exactly how much joy this just brought me.

Is it August yet? Can I have the DVD now? Or perhaps fly to Japan and steal a certain ticket from someone?

Makku-san! <3 I like her more now that she's nodded and smiled at me on practically a regular basis. From the little I've seen of the Kurotokage shinko, she seems to have grown up quite a bit since the Marrakech shinko in which she played opposite my Ayane-chan, although of course she has still a way to go. I can't wait to hear her Propose properly... not to mention Tommy's! <3 I don't really know Shiratori Kasuga, the shinko Namikoshi, because she's such a recent transfer from Moon. But I stood next to her fans a couple of times and they seemed nice.
