That wench is stark mad or wonderful froward.

Kano: You are always busy, so thank you for specifically making time to talk to me.

Asumi: It’s like you are reading off a script (laughs)

Kano: Now that my dream of doing Manzai with you has come true, let’s look back on our memories

Flower Troupe Report
Reporter Nana Kurara

( Read more... )

Wow. Today was a doozy for news.

First, the biggest news. Senna Ayase was announced as the next Top Musumeyaku of Flower Troupe. This was on nobody,and I mean nobody's radar. I mean, she is a 94th, she is classmates with Tamakichi, she never had a shinko lead, and she's well out of shinko. Talk about a shocker of an announcement. There is two ways this has played out. Either Mirio actually put her foot down on something and demanded somebody she wanted to work with, or Tom asserted her influence in favoring musumeyaku who she's had leads with.

Sparkles (Rukaze Hikaru) took the Shakespeare lead~! This was shocking to everyone involved, no doubt to Sparkles herself. My numerous die-hard soragumi friend's had been talking about this lead for awhile. We assumed Sparkles wouldn't get it because Rui Makise was climbing faster than she was. However, Makise was taken out of the running by an apparently bad injury. So Sparkles took her debut shinko lead about a year earlier than anyone had imagined, including her own management team. *laughs* You can do it Sparkles and Sparkles' Otsuki!

Rara got the Mirion's Shakespeare role in Shinko. You go little "hehehe~" girl.

Tamakichi stole the battle for Nibante despite not even being a contender. The weird part about is that it makes Tsukigumi work again. I went to see Manon/Golden Jazz and the awkwardness of them trying to pretend that Kacha and Miya are getting the same stage time has passed. It's ironically the best tsukigumi show I've seen since MIrio's transfer. I still don't like Tamachiki, and will forever pin the "MIYARURI GOT FUCKED" pin on my lapel until the end of time, but tsukigumi is x10 less painful to watch.

Aida 2k16. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm going to Kyushu to CRY at this goddamned show yet again. BAH.

Makaze as Vampire. Yes. Give me more. Give me Madoka lead. Fuck Kyushu I want to see Madoka and Makaze together.

Elisabeth 2k16. SERIOUSLY HANKYU FUCK U.

Takarazuka Plays Disney. I'm making poor life choices and going to see it. 36 hour trip to Tokyo GO.

Tom is Abraham Lincoln. And I am going to see it, because I am a sucker. Well, close enough. A friend is an otsuki and they upped the amount of tickets they get per show so she is desperatly trying to get rid of tickets.

MeMy. There is no Kiki in a dress, so I'm generally pretending this casting doesn't exist at the moment.

So after the poster was released I went on a google frenzy to find some similar looking  bodice-ripper covers. What can I say, I had nothing on at work because it was testing week.

I posted them to tumblr, but I don't want to loose them in the shuffle, so I've decided to share them here too.

I hope it amuses you as much as it amuses me.
