New Senka was moving 10 star-tracked otokoyaku there. And out of that ten, two went on to be long-term top stars, four were shorter-term top stars (Charlie due to health reasons, Emao Yuu I still don't know why, Saeko and Tartan both managed a year plus), two bowed out pretty early and two (Gaichi and Juri Sakiho) had five-six years of interesting roles, basically filling in whenever a distinguished upperclassman type could be useful. Not that bad an average all in all, and not worse than other transfers - at the same time Nettan and Touko were shunted into Hoshigumi, and while Touko hung on tightly, Nettan eventually quit, so 50-50 there
( ... )
What I'd most like to see is the company shunting talented no-longer-star-track upperclassmen into Senka.
Oh yes. I mean, I think Micchan is better off in Senka - more chances for interesting stuff to do (and I actually wouldn't mind seeing Morie in there after Kiriyan's retirement, as she seems to be stuck. Though her retirement seems more likely :( )
I think it's the high percentage of short-term stars seems worrisome about New Senka, and the fact that many people aren't fond of transfer tops (again, I know too little to opine, but I've seen reasoning that Emao Yuu and Kashi both were very short-term because they were more-or-less transfers coming after a very popular top with a long run)
...I wouldn't be surprised about Morie. (Was also thinking Toyoko, and keep thinking it since Chie's not retiring). Morie's on late-2012 calendars, past Kiriyan's retirement, so she may stick around...
Some transfer tops are successful. Mizu was only in Snow for less than a year before becoming top, and just look at Yuuhi <3
