The main cast list for
Viento de Buenos Aires has been announced.
While I am surprised to see a bunch of underclassmen being assigned to do some senior roles (honestly the list looks like a shinko one), I feel kind of nostalgic - I saw the 1999 Tsukigumi version live.
That was my first ever Nihon Seinenkan experience. Along with it came my first Zuka ochakai attendance -which was Rika's. A friend of mine dragged me (then a newbie) after the show to put me in the seat of someone who had cancelled in the last minute.
Just for fun, I have created a list of the 1999 Tsuki cast and the 2008 Hoshi one.
1999 2008
Nicholas Shibuki Jun Yuzuki Reon
Isabella Saijou Mie Yumesaki Nene
Eve Mihara Shiho Aono Yuki
Ricardo Yoshizuki Eri Kazu Ryoka
Vicente Shiomi Maho Kurenai Yuzuru
Marcello Kiriya Hiromu Makaze Suzuho
Flora Yashiro Kou Otohana Yuri
I just cannot figure out how this show opens and closes without the singing voice of Shibi-san. Her voice felt like the signature of the show.
I still keep the transparent plastic fan, which was Rika's ochakai gift. It carries a funny picture of a dog drawn by Rika printed in red. All I can remember from that ochakai is Rika's mention about Eve : "I was told by Masatsuka-sensei, 'Eve is the only one among the female roles in this play that Nicholas has ever been sexually involved with*.' So I'm looking at Eve with that in mind." - Did you hear that Chie?
*I learned from Rika the expression to allude "be sexually involved with" in Japanese. She said 「あれをしたことがある」.

Miwacchi is joining a gigolo club having
her dinner show poster uploaded.
Among her supporting members is my dancing baby Yuma-chan :D
For some reason I feel like using the Asuka icon for this entry.
