The squeeing of Osaka Samurai

[muffin_song]

Some reminders/disclaimers/thoughts before the review:

-I am a huge Kiriyan fan.  She is my favorite sienne.  Tsukigumi is my favorite troupe.  Please realize this while reading ^_^

-I may be squeeing a lot about stuff lately, although as I think I said a few weeks ago that may be due to the fact that I tend to only write up stuff that I really like

Ai-chan was the kumichou for Roma? Wouldn't she have graduated from shinkos by then, or do they pick someone who has only recently become an upperclassman? Oh well, regardless, she must have been the cutest kumicho ever.

Mostly, it was that Ebira-san and Misa-san actually got to be funny, as opposed to ParisSora where Misa-san only got one comedy bit (the part where she kept on trying to take the suitcase with the money in it). They did, however, get their own song in the finale, along with Hanase Mizuka. There was also an otokoyaku dance.

Interesting that they'd have her give the speech! Technically PariSora should have been her last shinko, but given her success, it seemed as though the company had graduated her early from them. (She debuted in 2000, same as Maggie, though ranks above her obviously).

Yeah, glancing at TakaWiki it looks like her last shinko was Jazzy Fairies in 2005. But yeah, she has done well...musumeyaku aren't really ranked, but for all intents and purposes she seems to be the nibante. I hope it stays that way, Ai-chan has a lot of spunk.

Thanks so much for this review! I really hope to see the DVD someday. It's great to hear that the underappreciated siennes like Takigawa Sueko (whom I've dubbed "Miss Prism") get more lines and solos. I agree with you completely that the excellent supporting casts are what make Moon Troupe feel like the "Home Troupe." ^_^
She was so close I could have stretched my arm and reached out and touched her...
I am sooooooo jealous!

"I am sooooooo jealous!"

*blush*

Were you able to get tickets for Elisabeth?

[mooglechan]

Yes I was! We won two overpriced tickets for August 5 on Yahoo!Japan! XD ureshii~~~

[muffin_song]

Yaaaay! I hope you have a great time, and make sure to let us know what you think about it!

(I'll be going on the 10th of July)

Maggie: I definitely understand now what people see in this girl. She's still young, but if she keeps this up and Hankyu is smart I think she has a bright future ahead of her. She was a really fun villain. Somehow I never noticed before how tall she is...

Nice to feel justified in my love <3

The show sounds wonderful! If only I had tons and tons of money to fly out to Japan on a whim and go to one of the available performances

If it makes you feel better, I'm completely missing renfaire season this summer :/

[violet_tango]

In some way I feel lured to ask you wether you have time and want to meet some day? :)
I live in Tokyo myself (since last autumn) and will stay here until August 22nd.

Maggie = taking over the world

I think it might be fun to discuss different things with you :)
If I might ask, which country do you come from?

I always love meeting up with people. I'm going to be pretty busy from the 12-24th of July with my mom coming into town, but other than that I'm usually around in the evenings and on weekends. My e-mail is Kitsune32@gmail.com ^_^

I'm an American (hailing from Massachusetts) currently working in Saitama as an ALT for the JET program.

[violet_tango]

I'm busied from 9th to 19th, with friends coming to Tokyo and from August 3rd I am joined by another friend.

Hmm... any plans for this weekend?

[muffin_song]

Actually, none at the moment (other than I need to get some cleaning done at the apaato, but that's flexible). Do you want to either try to toujitsuken Elisabeth or to just meet up and hang out? Although I'm seeing Elisabeth on the 10th, so maybe it's better to try to toujitsuken another day.

/end rambling In any case, yeah, I'm around this weekend ^_^
