Sep. 3rd, 2009 10:29 pmHonestly, I've never really bought into the whole "The young'un otokoyaku are taking over Takarazuka!" argument. In honkouen at least I've always thought that each generation has a few young upstarts. But the shinkos lately are getting a little ridiculous. A 94th is getting Kiriyan's role in the Last Play shinko???? Tamaki Ryou, apparently. I had to look up the name since I didn't immediately recognize the kanji.
I dunno, maybe this girl is actually really talented and completely deserving. The truth is I know nothing about her. But...there's a part of me that's grumpy and wants all of these young upstarts to wait their turn :P
I guess I'll be satisfied as long as Toshi (Uzuki Hayate) gets in a lead before she graduates from shinkos. I've been fond of her ever since she was a Sky Fairy in 2007-2008, and I'll be annoyed if she gets passed up. And that's the thing, really...the young ones still have plenty of time. Do they have to jump over the ones who are down to their last year of shinkos? Toshi does have Maya-san's role. Senka roles sometimes aren't as exciting, but if it's Maya-san it could be good <3333
It looks like Shizuku doesn't have a big shinko role since she's not among the roles that were released today. Speaking of musumeyaku, since that there's no top musumeyaku in tsukigumi, there's no musuemyaku shinko lead either. (I am so ready for this whole "no top musumeyaku" thing to be over :P)
It's interesting to see which honkouen roles have been cast with shinko counterparts at this point and which haven't. You would think that would indicate which ones will be major. (The ones that have been filled with shinko counterparts thus far are Asako, Kiriyan, Ahi, Sonoka, Morie, Ai-chan, Touka Yurino, Masaki, Shizuku, and Ranno Hana).
Oh, and Mirio in the shinko lead was kind of a no-brainer ^^;

...we have a list of who will be in Casablanca!!!
Why was I anxiously awaiting this? Because now that Micchan is officially in the cast, my club can actually send me forms and tell me when the ochakai date is. Meaning that I can actually buy a plane ticket and start planning what else I can see, as a lot of things depend on the timing. Of course the club already said that they weren't sending out our 2009 club cards and such until after All of Me is finished in mid-September, and I have a feeling that our Casablanca ticket forms will be included in there. But ticket sales start on October 10th and you would think that they'd want to give us some time to get the forms back to them? Or so I hope? I'm worried about airfare going up, and I do eventually need to give some notice at work about when I'll be gone ^^;
On the other hand, all of this coming up means that I also have to get the cash together to buy tickets not only for Casablanca, but for Last Play as well. And possibly a few other things depending on the timing. (Thank God most clubs don't seem to request ochakai money until a ilttle later on.)
Anyway, we get Isono-san AND Ban-san! :D
For the record, I personally don't think this rules out anyone being transferred into shin-tsukigumi. The mura run of Casablanca ends two weeks before the Tokyo run of Last Play, and there's no reason why someone couldn't be pulled out then.
Er...I don't say that to create panic. There's just certain scenarios that I'm rooting for >.>
In any case, now I'm anxious for who will be playing who. The casting from sanbante down could go a number of different ways and I'm excited to see how it will turn out.

50th Annual Buyoukai
Aug. 18th, 2009 01:18 amOkay, so Micchan will be in the buyoukai again this year. That makes for her fourth year in a row! I'm afraid that like fine wine, the art of buyou escapes me. It's something that I know has a lot of value, but I just don't know how to judge and appreciate everything that goes into it. But if this is Micchan's fourth year in a row, I wonder if the company thinks that she's good at it? (The first year was with tsukigumi, and the other three were/will be with soragumi). Tomu is also in the cast, which will be her third year in a row o.O
Also in the cast are:
Senka: Matsumoto Yuri, Todoroki Yu, Kyou Misa, Kou Akemi, Ichihara Kei, Itsumine Aki, and Miho Keiko
Hoshigumi: Yuzuki Reon, Yumesaki Nene, Suzumi Shio, Tsurumi Mayuu, Shirotae Natsu, Kai Hayato, Asato Mao, Miharu Ayaka, Hishiro Yua, Makaze Suzuho, Seki Yutio, Kizaki Reo, Wakanatsu Ayame, Honjou Kureha
Soragumi: Oozora Yuuhi, Nono Sumika, Ranju Tomu, Hokushou Kairi
...It occurs to me that I may be in Japan for this. I'm still waiting on an ochakai date, which will determine everything.
I worry about Micchan because this will be yet another extra thing she'll have to rehearse for. (Then again, who knows, maybe she enjoys it. I know she said that the 2006 buyoukai was one of her favorite performing experiences) But in between her dinner show, probably being in the 2009 TCA special, and now the buyoukai, I worry T_________T
Also, the speculation in this thread made me worried that Micchan or even Tomu would be pulled out of soragumi to be Kiriyan's nibante, maybe even before Casablanca. I was starting to wonder if the lack of a Casablanca cast list was because Hankyu was waiting on some sort of transfer annoucnement (and they still might be. I have a theory that I don't dare say out loud for fear of it not happening). But if both Micchan and Tomu are announced to be in the buyoukai (which is in the middle of Casablanca's mura run) and they're doing so as soragumi members, then neither of them could be transferred out before mura senshuraku.
...as someone who is trying to make travel plans, this is very good news :D Obviously I have opinions about what goes on after this, but I'm selfishly relieved that two of my favorite siennes will be in Casablanca. After all, it's going to be much harder to get tickets to Last Play ;)
Oh dear, how did it become 1:30 in the morning? ^^;
