It's always a little weird watching revues in their touring/Chunichi/etc. versions. I like how lower ranked people get bigger parts, but it's hard for the troupe not to feel like it's at half power simply because of it being cut in half number-wise.
( My thoughts under the cut )
To be completely honest, for all that I am excited that Kiriyan has become top, she hasn't become top of the troupe that I fell in love with three years ago. There are still people I love in tsukigumi, but the truth is I still feel the loss of many people I love (Eri-san, Sueko, Taki-san, Mihoko, Yuuhi, Ai-chan, etc).
At the same time I've waited a while for Kiriyan to be top, and I *want* to like her tsukigumi. I don't want to be so caught up in retirements and politics that I can't enjoy things any more.
Anyway, I still have Yukariko to watch, and I plan on buying Scarlet Pimpernel when it comes out <3

So it is Marimo. Well, frankly, I can live with that. I don't think she and Kiriyan are going to be my next One True Pairing, but I liked her well enough in the Pimpernel shinko and in Kean.
I mean, I would have much preferred Alice or Nacchan.Not to mention Ai-chan. But compared to a lot of the other choices that were being speculated about, Marimo is at least acceptable to me. (Not that the universe is looking for my approval, but you get the idea *g*)
I think my only real objection is that she's 164 centimeters. While Kiriyan claims to be 167 centimeters, I'm pretty sure she's lying. That's only about an inch in height difference o.O
In other news, poor Chiaki T__________T She was awfully cute as Louis Capet in Pimpernel.
ETA: Lest I sound like I'm complaining too much, at least we have a top musumeyaku now. It's about time!!!!
