Oh my experienced and knowing flist, please tell me about top musumeyaku memorial books. I see the info for Kiriyan's, but not for Marimo's - does it mean she does not get one? Or do they announce it later? Or have I missed something? Top musumeyaku do get memorial books at least sometimes, don't they?

Actually, no, musumeyakus don't usually get memorial books. I don't think any musumeyaku ever had.. Sorry ~ that's just kinda the way Hankyu works ^^;

[yumenotatsu]

Eek((( That's a pity, to put it mildly.

I think the fanclub may put together a memorial book (IIRC Hanakage Arisu had a fanclub one, for example), but not an official Hankyu-published one, no.

*sigh* I see, thanks. Well, if the fanclub does and if anyone ever sells one... that'll be a really long shot. *makes plans for lots of stage photos and postcards to console self*

Oh, they surface sometimes :) I've seen them in Taka-An for example.

[yumenotatsu]

Hmmm, I see. Thanks!

The only top musumeyaku in recent years who got an official memorial book is Sakurano Ayane. I'm not sure about the others, though; like everyone else has said already, it doesn't usually happen :(

There are a sort of memorial book that some musumeyaku get but it is a lot more lightweight than the otokoyaku memorial book. Think more like a small sized personal photobook.

If you look here: http://www.hankyubooks.com/t_kageki/kageki3.htm you can see that Sakurane Ayane, Toono Asuka and Shirahane Yuri among the recent top musumeyaku got these. Before that Dan Rei, Hoshina Yuri and Tsukikage Hitomi also got some sort of memorial book.

But this means that neither Hanafusa Mari, Ayano Kanami, Hizuki Hana nor Aihara Mika got one. So it's anyone's guess if Marimo and/or Sumika will get one.

Ah, I see. Thanks! Well, that's a bit more hopeful, but still... Ah, Hankyu's way of treating musumeyaku is kind of tiresome.

Hanafusa Mari chose not to have one; Ayano Kanami put out a single instead, proof of her popularity (they expected 50 people to show at the release ceremony, and almost 400 did!). :) I agree the way Hankyu treats its musumeyaku is tiresome, don't get me wrong. Basically, only the most unusually popular musumeyaku get books.

Oh, that's cool to know. *still wants Marimo to have a book*
