tsukigumi mumblings
So I keep on meaning to post more about the schedule stuff, only I'm finding that most people have already said a lot of what I wanted to say. But I'll give it a shot anyway.
There's some concern about Asako being typecast, and it's probably pretty valid. That being said, I'm still happy about Me and My Girl. Tsukigumi has unfortunately gotten stuck with a lot of substandard material in the last couple of years. Asako has not gotten the treatment she deserves. I would rather see her get a guaranteed good comedy role over a more serious role that might turn out to be a clunker. Besides, since Me and My Girl is something she's been wanting to do, she'll really throw herself into it.
Does it make me selfish that I mostly just want Kiriyan to end up with a really interesting role with a lot of stage time? -_-;;;;;; I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never actually seen the '95 Me and My Girl, so I'm not so familiar with the roles. The idea of Kiriyan in drag definitely intrigues me, but I can also see the argument for having Yuuhi be the one to throw herself at Asako. Out of curiosity, could someone tell me the benefits of playing either Gerald or Sir John roles?
In other news, the announcement of The Tales of Hoffman is probably good news for all younger siennes. Since Morie and Mirio are off doing Tales of Hoffman, hopefully others like Maggie and Masaki have a better chance of getting good roles in either Hollywood Lover or Arex. Ideally everyone will end up with something juicy.
Regardless, it looks like an exciting schedule next year. Right now I'm signed on to work in Japan until August 2008, meaning I can see everything in the Tokyo area that has been announced. Depending on whether or not I extend my contract, the next schedule announcement might be more angsty for spoiled ole yours truly -_-;
