I can't say I'm surprised. The signs have been there ever since they announced the Bow show, and the fall Daigekijou announcement was really, really suspicious

Doesn't surprise me either. I figured that would be the only reason that Beni was not the top star was the Micchan would have a short run. I glad that you set aside the money for taidan. It's something you should experience after being her fan for so long.
Thanks hon <3333 I'll be fine, it's just a very...unusual way of experiencing fandom, I suppose. But I'm really glad to see her career coming together so beautifully.
It's just a sucky thing that is sad no matter how much you know it's coming and how prepared you try to be. And I think it can be hard to express to other people how much someone you don't really KNOW can mean to you.
It gets better and sometimes worse again as you go along, and everything is definitely different, which can be both better and worse. ;)
Yeah, exactly. I don't have a personal relationship with Micchan, and yet she does mean a lot to me. It's hard to explain in a way that people don't take as a joke.
As for OG life...I definitely plan on joining any future clubs, and hopefully (once my wallet recovers) see her in OG roles. But who knows what iri/demachi and fan events will be like (if they're there), and from what I've heard it's just a really different experience.
I'm really glad I went for Koumori - I'm really glad I could treasure each of her Daigekijou shows. (I do have money set aside for the fall, but typing that sentence too much makes me paranoid. I'm knocking on wood every few minutes as I write this >.>)
But yes, I'll be looking to you sempai for advice on OG life! <3
It's so weird.... it seems like only yesterday you were wrestling with leaving K's club to join Micchan's, and yet at the same time I can't even imagine you not in her club.
I'm sorry she had such a short run as a top star, but I'm also really looking forward to seeing all of her shows after I'm through my own bought of Taidan-priced insanity and can get caught up on things.
That was eight years ago, but yes, I agree it feels like only yesterday! I think back on that time every now and then. K's club is lovely (I still have friends there) and I'm still very fond of K herself. But to be honest my only real regret is not joining Micchan's club at the start and saving myself a lot of angst and grief. But really, I couldn't be happier about the last eight years.
Re: taidan, from the very beginning I expected her run to be short. It's pretty typical for otokoyaku who make it in their later years (Touko, Kiriyan, Sou, etc). Someone told me recently you want tops to leave with a feeling of, "If only they could have done one more show", and I agree. It would have broken my heart if Micchan were to get run-down and unhealthy. She's handled top star responsibilities beautifully, but after 20 years in the Takarazuka system I'm definitely okay with her deciding it's time.
But yeah, really, REALLY glad to see this crazy thing full circle! (And I'm glad you get that opportunity too <3) Okay, I'm wandering
( ... )
I'm glad we got Micchan as a Hoshigumi top. I'm also glad that you got to see her in a couple of great shows as top. Sorry to see her leave so early even if it wasn't unexpected and I hope your taidan period (and her's) bring more good memories than sad.
For what it's worth, she looked really happy and satisfied at the press conference. That made me feel a lot better. If this is what she wants, then I'm definitely behind that. (And I would not want her staying if she was going to start looking unhappy and worn out - that would have broken my heart)
I think it's hard to make taidan NOT a sad thing, but I'm going to try my best to have a happy (as possible) last hurrah <3

I'm glad you'll be able to be there for taidan!
