Well then, there you have it. I suppose I've been expecting something along these lines since Scarlet Pimpernel, so no surprise. I just hope my suspicion this means an early retirement isn't true.
Kinda cool to see them pulling some of those 70s and early 80s molds out again, with almost-sorta double-tops.
Not so sure about Romeo and Juliet, but on the plus side, I haven't seen it yet so I'm not personally sick of it. ;)
Manaki Reika impressed me in the Algiers shinko; she's grown a lot. Still think she's a better match for Mirio, though. If anything, that may be my only gripe out of all of this, and leads me again to believe in an early retirement.
But, hell, she did it! First top star from the 87ths<3 Hell of a lot of work. Congratulations, Masaki-chan.

AND YAY FOR ROMIJURI! I can never have enough of that ^^ (And Elisabeth ;P )
I just hope rehearsals for her will not be too exhausting with TWO big roles. :/

Date: 2012-02-14 04:54 pm (UTC)I thought Manaki was going to be saved for Mirio so that was a little surprise.
I look forward to the Masaki/Asumi years. Good thing they get along together.

Date: 2012-02-14 05:58 pm (UTC)I admit I'm a bit confused by the decision, and it seems a bit of something put together by a committee. They do like to experiment in Moon Troupe these days, don't they?
Anyway, it should be interesting, and I really think both roles will suite Masaki. <3

Date: 2012-02-16 08:06 am (UTC)...Although, you know what, this is still different because in neither of those cases did they make the two otokoyaku share the same role in the same performance. I really think all this role-switching they've been doing the past few years is kind of insane. I don't want any more girls to have nervous breakdowns, okay T_______T

Date: 2012-02-16 08:11 am (UTC)And I am genuinely proud of Masaki and happy for her from the bottom of my heart. I love so much of the stage performer she's become, and I just really hope she puts that crazy ambitious energy of hers to good use instead of driving herself insane ^_^;; I hope she gets many more opportunities to create roles that are memorable just for her ♥
