I could post at length of my thoughts on these things, but opting for the short versions:
* If Natori Rei isn't retiring in Gypsy Baron, does that mean her douki Kyou Misa might stay longer than Soragumi's next show? Or will the bell be tolling for her? I think it's a 50/50 chance.
* If Ichika is in Maa-kun's Bow and Mattsu is moving to Yukigumi, who's going to be Lucille and Ballot in Melancholic Gigolo? ...Juria and Meo, maybe??
* If Amachaki isn't in Maa-kun's Bow, then who will the lead musumeyaku be? Only in my dreams would they give it to Kirari-chan at this point -- she played an old lady in Sabrina -- so Misaki Rion? Or does Nana Kurara possibly have a shot at it...?
There may have been something else, but I don't remember now. Oh, waving the "yay 96ths" flag for Yuunami Kei and Otohane Emi in Bow, and "yay 95ths" Maito-kun in the tour along with Yuzuka Rei. Aiha Fubuki and Mahou Tsugumi are also in Bow.
And yeah. Reportiing on other-troupe news, trying to pretend I wasn't feeling down earlier.
