New Top of Flower? Posted by Chioco on Thu 07 of Jun, 2007 19:42 GMT-0000 Sumire Haruno's announced her retirement, Christmas Eve this year. Who? WHO!? I say Kiriyan!
Posted by RXS on Sat 22 of Sep, 2007 04:05 GMT-0000 KyaniteD - I like your it makes absolute sense and gives me a happy feeling. Osa's retirement is my first too and, yes, she's amazing but (at the moment at least) I'm not awfully upset 'cause I'm all loved up over stars that have already retired. Kinda like, living in the past - As far as I'm concerned Wao still rocks the stage every night. And I didn't even know she existed until about a month ago! I'm itching to know who's going to replace Haruno Sumire though and I'd just like to agree with Linon and sowmyak about "tsukigumi`s ultimate trio". They really shouldn't be split. The anticipation is killing me! ... Oh wait. Hmm, news. Matobu Sei will be the next top star of Flower Troupe. Many thanks to Caithion! I should check the news first in future.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see..does anyone know when they usually reveal who a new top will be? I'm a new fan to zuka, and haruno sumire is the first person to retire in the time i've been a fan! ;__; Oh In that, you are so lucky. Nearly all my favorites have retired since I last went to Japan (Wao Youka, Takashiro Kei, Asami Hikaru) and now it saddens me that I probably will never have the chance to see them in action on the stage where dreams are made and hearts are broken. :-( When I heard Osa was retiring so soon it was just like another one of my pets died! But it cheers me up a bit to know I can get to see her one last time before she does retired, in Tokyo this Xmas. Thank god. rabu rabu Osa-san
Posted by Melstrife66 on Thu 23 of Aug, 2007 12:18 GMT-0000 I don't want Haruno to retire. It's going to be too sad. I feel like crying. I believe Haruno to be the best. I love how she sings and how she acts. It makes me want to go to Japan and join in the Takarazuka troupes. I have no say to Haurno's retirement. She should keep performing for another 10 yrs.
Posted by KyaniteD on Sat 11 of Aug, 2007 07:07 GMT-0000 posts: 104 ☆ ☆ ☆ <kya logic> Ah, but they didn't get to see each other much now that they're both top stars, either. (The TCA special this year is their first one together since Asako also became top.) In the August Graph magazine, there is another OsaXAsa talk, in which they talk about how they're sending each other text messages - they can (and will :P) continue doing this after Osa retired. And at the press conference Osa said she doesn't know yet what she will do "after Takarazuka", if I recall it correctly she said something about taking her time to figure it out. So with at least one of them not bound by such a tight rehearsal/performance schedule anymore, they may even have the chance to see each other more often. :D </ kya logic>
Posted by sowmyak on Sat 11 of Aug, 2007 05:09 GMT-0000 this doesn't have too much to do with mai predictions since i already expressed my views on that but i wasn't sure where else to post this...i just read a lovely translation on this wiki from graph mag..an interview btween osa and asa, after asa got moved to moon..and it was so full of emotion! it dawned on me that the two of them must be terribly sad...osa is leaving and they will hardly get to see each other anymore...it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it! i feel so bad for them :[
Posted by Valjean87 on Wed 20 of Jun, 2007 07:20 GMT-0000 posts: 11 ☆ ☆ Kiriya Hiromu, I highly doubt it. I would picture either Kiriya or Yuuhi to be next in line for Tsukigumi Top though. Ranju Tomu sounds like an excellent choice too or Matobu Sei, :)! I guess we just have to wait and see.
Posted by Linon on Tue 19 of Jun, 2007 00:00 GMT-0000 I would say that there is rather no chance for Yuuhi to be hanagumi's top. And the interesting thing is that 50% of Japanese fans bet on Matobu, and the other 50% on Kiriyan (while Kiriyans's half is somehow bigger). Well, Kiriyan being brought up in hanagumi... huh. No, I just don't agree. Veto! ;D
Posted by deliabrown on Mon 18 of Jun, 2007 12:19 GMT-0000 posts: 1 ☆ well recently i've heard too many possibilities of the new top of hanagumi,i'm a fan of Oozora Yuuhi, i don't want her to be the next hanagumi top,i want her to retire to get married. neither gumichou nor next top will break my heart. she is such a "easy coming and going" person，“TOPâ€is too heavy fir her.
Posted by sowmyak on Thu 14 of Jun, 2007 02:19 GMT-0000 I do hope it's Ranju Tomu by transfer! I think she's absolutely MARVELOUS! >_< I agree with Linon..i think it would be a very bad move to break up moon troupe's fantastic trio! i personally would be very upset! I guess we'll just have to wait and see..does anyone know when they usually reveal who a new top will be?

Posted by Linon on Tue 12 of Jun, 2007 08:23 GMT-0000 I dare to doubt. Braking up the tsukigumi`s ultimate trio would be would absolutely stupid, and I just don`t see Kiriyan as hanagumi top (there`s something awkward about it X_x XD). I would say Matobu Sei or Ranju Tomu by transfer (only because I doubt whether they would drag Ayabuki back to hana just after they've put her into yuki). I know it would be (again) so absolutely unfair considering the seniority matter, but as I said - it wouldn't be the first time, would it.
Posted by Juri on Tue 12 of Jun, 2007 05:52 GMT-0000 Squeee! Hope it's Kiriyan. I loved her in the role of Louis in Vampire Requiem. xD
