Sorry, but I need to write down my thoughts here or my head's gonna explode...
So,to sum up the recent Hankyu rollercaster of troupe announcements:
1) Hokushou Kairi for new Hoshigumi Top.
2) Hinami Fuu as her musumeyaku partner.
3) Makaze Suzuho going to Soragumi.
4) Nanami Hiroki going to Hoshigumi.
5) BENI????????????????

I was a bit surprised at first that it's not Kisaki Airi after all but I'm glad. She still needs more polishing and IF Beni follows into Micchan's footsteps then maybe she'll be ready,too.

Same with getting involved into Sora. Now that Mirio is in Hana I gave my best to get to know the troupe and I came to treasure it lately. Adding to my list of favourite troupes (1st: Tsuki, 2nd: Hoshi)...
But I think I'll keep watching Sora from a distance until it's really Yurika's turn. I've never followed Maakun or Mirion so I don't think I should start now or my purse is going to cry along with me. xD'

A lot of people argued that it's to give her some more years to be polished. Which kinda makes sense? I don't know...Time will show.

I'm not Beni's biggest fan but I thought that she was ready to become Top after seeing bits from GWTW. But maybe SHE didn't want to. We'll never know.
She'll have a show in June/July so maybe they're really just giving her another 2 years, for whatever reasons.

And about Hoshi changing...well,of course it will. Every troupe will change with a new Top Star. It's just a bit weird with Hoshi because we've grown so accustomed to Chie. Maybe Micchan is just the right choice after her,maybe she isn't...I'll make sure to support her and Beni nevertheless because I think they deserve it. (^.^)
