I'm sure we'd all agree that Takarazuka doesn't give much information on what they plan on doing with their stars. But I do think that they "suggest" a lot through everything, like the size of pictures in a program, the amount of pictures, calendar sizes, and posters. From this...

"Too Short a Time to Fall in Love" shows that the star-balance is... not balanced. Moon troupe has two #2's and Star has none. Some people have star charisma and some people have kumicho charisma.

The poster for "Higher than the Parisian Sky" has Yuuhi looking larger than Kiriyan. Wow! So check it out.

The Cosmos troupe top-combi will probably be out soon, but it's taking so long. Kashi's retirement was a bit early, I guess.

No way!! I'm the only person here who doesn't want Yuhi to be kumicho! I don't want to see her as Jarjayes or Max! I want her to move on to another career while she's still pretty. I wish I could keep watching her forever, but she needs to move on to another career *after* getting to the top. Of star. my wish. my dream. ^^

I'm definitely going to try to see Parisian Sky. Do you watch it in Tokyo or Takarazuka? Or both?

> You'll go see Parisian Sky with us, won't you? Misa and Tsukigumi! Can you get the nenkyuu?

I desperately want to do this, oh my god. Things may be going completely psycho at work that time of next year, though, which makes me very, very uncomfortable already. I have already mentioned to the bosses that I will be required to play tour guide to Very Important People to whom I ''osewa ni natta"-ed, in the hopes that no one will be able to turn down my request. ;)

For some reason I keep thinking of her and Misa Noeru lately, which is odd, because they tend to project completely different kinds of personalities on stage (or, at least, I haven't seen Yuuhi do a lot of comedy, and I haven't seen Misa-san do a lot of angst). I suspect that seeing young Misa-san in Southern Grief has damaged my brain for all eternity.

You'll go see Parisian Sky with us, won't you? Misa and Tsukigumi! Can you get the nenkyuu?

Same here! Actually, Yuuhi may not be the top, but I think she has a better career to be supporting role for her youthful look. She is the same type of otokoyaku as Eri.

> I want her to stay and be vice-kumichou, and kumichou, and then move into Senka and get all the avuncular parts for years and years to come.

I agree wholeheartedly. Yuuhi would make a good kumichou, I think. And she would make me very happy if she never, ever left the company. :)

To be honest, I don't want to see Yuuhi as top of Cosmos either. In fact, I'm not even sure I want her as top of Moon. I love her too much; I want her to stay and be vice-kumichou, and kumichou, and then move into Senka and get all the avuncular parts for years and years to come.

I'm very selfish, I suppose.

Oh no. I want Yuuhi to switch over so that she can be the second top which then becomes the top. I can't see her taking over after Asako.

I predict Ai Shirosaki or Hana Hizuki for next cosmos if the top is Tani. I think it'll be great chemistry.

Count me in as your fellow mobs XD

Also Ai-chan is Kiriiyan-chan's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm betting Tani gets Cosmos, too, though I have no idea who will be the musumeyaku top. I wouldn't be too surprised to see Shirosaki Ai become a top musumeyaku sometime in the not-so-distant future, but it would be sad to see her with anyone other than Kiriyan...

I hope Touko sticks around for a while in Star because it took her long enough to get that position and she deserves to hang out there as top for a long time. So I'm not even going to speculate on who will be her successor.

As for Yuuhi: there will be rioting in the streets if she ever leaves Moon Troupe. Rioting, I tell you! Well, at least, I'd be upset. ;)
