Honestly, I don't like the actual picture THAT much. It's the idea, however, that Kiriyan is going to star in a show that she really loves that makes me very happy. I think Bill was one of her dream roles, too.
I'm very anxious to hear about who the musumeyaku lead will be, as it will say a lot about the future of tsukigumi. Probably Ai-chan unless she becomes tsuki's next top star. I'm also anxious to know the cast breakdown for Gatsby and Kiriyan's MiiMai, as that will determine who will get John, Jackie, and Gerald in Kiriyan's run. My guess is that Ahi will be in Gatsby. I wouldn't be surprised if Mirio gets Jackie again. Hmm...Sonoka as John? I'd really like to see Masaki get either Jackie or Gerald. Plus it would be nice if Morie got a good role. Yeah, definitely anxious to hear about the cast lists. I would imagine that they'll come out between the Takarazuka and Tokyo runs of MiiMai.
Oh, and if Taki-san had to be so cruel as to leave us after Asako's MiiMai lead, then I vote for Miho Keiko as the duchess.
