Oh, I did not expect this.
All the speculation was about Yuuhi or Chie. I didn't expect this, not bright Kiriyan and all her artistry. Not Kiriyan-gumi, because I know she'lll be taking a lot of them with her - my Morie, most probably, maybe Marimo, who knows what others as well.
And then I realise she had a good two years, with some perfect shows, and two young successors in line to the top star throne. She's done what she came to do, and I have the feeling she's retiring on her own terms.
It still hits me hard. For all that I like all current top stars, she had this ineffable quality that meant just seeing her smile would make my day.
Kiriyan ♥ I'll miss your light ♥
