Is this turning into some kind of trend?
Jul. 6th, 2009 09:19 pmSimilar to Tani, Asako will also have a dinner show pre-retirement (although this one is happening before rehearsals start). I guess Hankyu is trying to squeeze everything they can out of her?
It's great for her fans that she's getting one more before she leaves, but poor Asako must be exhausted.
Also starring are Ai-chan, Otoki Sunao, and Touka Yurino. I'm a little terrified that this means something.
Honestly, I think it's more likely than not that Ai-chan will retire. The company as of late has not been kind to older star track musumeyaku. But nothing can be said for sure around here, so it's probably not worth getting worked up about until I actually hear something. (Although someone other than Ai-chan becoming the next tsuki musumeyaku top would be a very bad sign).
Then again, if she played Sophie in Elisabeth, maybe it's a sign that they're moving her towards upperclassmen roles?
