WOW. That is amazing. I'm so excited for her!! I'm not too surprised she had something already lined up, but the fact that it's AIDA really made me squee~

Is this Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida? I'm a bit confused.

(Obviously I'm thrilled regardless <3)

Touko's top star career wasn't as long as some of her batchmates, but I personally was a very big fan. I hope fandom as a whole will remember her two and a half years fondly!

Long live Touko. *waves flag and all that*
