More schedule announcements

I officially can't tell where tsukigumi is going these days.  On an up note, Asako's 2009 Theater Drama City show itself looks kind of interesting.  Would it be a special project a la Wataru's Across concert?  And what the heck is a ショーアクト anyway?

I guess I'm more confused as to where Kiriyan fits into all of this.  The other project tsukigumi has going on at that time is a 17 day Bow Hall show.  Unless they really couldn't book anything in Tokyo, it seems unlikely that they would give Kiriyan a Bow that didn't have a corresponding Seinenkan run.

Basically, I'm scared that they're going to pull Kiriyan out of tsuki and make her Touko's replacement.  I have nothing against hoshigumi, but I'd hate to see Kiriyan pulled out and thrown into a troupe she doesn't know with so little warning.  I feel like the best new-top transitions are when the new star gets to spend some time with troupe before assuming the top position (like Yuu-san in hanagumi, etc).  I'm sure there are exceptions, but the transition doesn't seem to go as smoothly when a new top is thrown in without any time to get settled into their new troupe (like how Kashi never performed in soragumi before becoming top there).

Then again, maybe I'm interpreting this all wrong.  Also, given that tsuki still doesn't have a new top musumeyaku, I'm not entirely convinced that Asako is going to stick around later than 2009.

ショーアクト

Sounds like 'show act' to me.

Mm... sounds a lot like Mami's "Alas". I bet it'll be something like that ... a collection of scenes; a low-budget revue kind of thingy.

You've written down , what I'm fearing most these days... and I feel the same way about it as you.
I'm more or less bracing myself for some more surprises... at the moment nothing seems to fit together :(
For the ショーアクト= I would also say Showact, you know how the Japanese love those kind of words :/
And reading your other entries: Be hugged! I'm leaving some virtual, imaginary chocolate here for you :)

I ... am so confused. Well, I've been confuddled with Tsukigumi ever since they didn't announce a new top musumeyaku after Mihoko's retirement.

A lot of it depends on how long Asako stays in, I think. I mean, I'd like to think they'll keep Kiriyan in Tsukigumi to succeed Asako, but then you have to wonder who they're going to put into Hoshigumi ... O_o

I know everyone is talking about what the heck ショーアクト is but I really must comment on the title of the show. Saudade! \o/ It's a portuguese word! And it's one of the hardest words to translate! Roughly it's "a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost" (wikipedia says so ^^) I think there might be a little bit of bossa nova involved (saudade, as one of the aspects of love, was a recurrent theme in bossa nova songs ^^) and I must say that the idea of Asako singing (most likely) Girl from Ipanema is rather enjoyable ^^

Okay, I'll stop my rambling now XD
