This is what I was originally, actually going to post about before all the news.

I was in a funk this afternoon, and I needed to just lie down and not stress my wrists, so I did something I should have done a long time ago.

I watched The Age of InnocenceI've put it off for so long because when I was eating up all of the old Sora shows and ( Read more... )

Running commentary as I watch the Valencia role-switch performance.

( This isn't really interesting unless you've seen Soragumi's Valencia at *least* once. )

"Little Box of Stories" is a featurette in Kageki that seems to consist of short "one-liner" sort of segments from performance meetings and other backstage talk.

I have conquered my DVD and software issues, so now it is finally time to share with everyone the supreme squeefulness that is Sora Fantasista! I could wait until I've made some Valencia clips too, but... well, actually, I CAN'T wait. ^^;;

In 16 hours or so, Yone-san, Rimae and Chiari-chan will graduate from Takarazuka forever.

Let the pre-emptive weeping and wailing begin.

CAST LISTS FOR VALENCIA TOUR AND SECOND LIFE ARE OUT!!!!!!!

I went to iri this morning expecting not to be able to go to the senshuuraku performance. I was only ten minutes early to standby and still the first one there, out of four members. I talked with Alice-chan about batchmates and Chiari retiring and Alice said she would probably cry, and then I brought up Sakurano Ayane-san and she said they don't ( Read more... )

Half a shinko is TOTALLY better than no shinko at all THE BEST THING EVER.No, actually the best thing ever is being handed a commemorative shinko day photo of your angel BY your angel, and hearing her tell you "please take care of yourself and get better from your cold", and standing over her left shoulder as she has a picture taken with everyone ( Read more... )
