I can't say I'm surprised. The signs have been there ever since they announced the Bow show, and the fall Daigekijou announcement was really, really suspicious

That was eight years ago, but yes, I agree it feels like only yesterday! I think back on that time every now and then. K's club is lovely (I still have friends there) and I'm still very fond of K herself. But to be honest my only real regret is not joining Micchan's club at the start and saving myself a lot of angst and grief. But really, I couldn't be happier about the last eight years.
Re: taidan, from the very beginning I expected her run to be short. It's pretty typical for otokoyaku who make it in their later years (Touko, Kiriyan, Sou, etc). Someone told me recently you want tops to leave with a feeling of, "If only they could have done one more show", and I agree. It would have broken my heart if Micchan were to get run-down and unhealthy. She's handled top star responsibilities beautifully, but after 20 years in the Takarazuka system I'm definitely okay with her deciding it's time.
But yeah, really, REALLY glad to see this crazy thing full circle! (And I'm glad you get that opportunity too <3) Okay, I'm wandering off and knocking on more wood now >.>
